A network-controllable cooling fan can have a recessed connector port with an internal tongue that defines an edge connector having a plurality of electrical contacts. The tongue can also define a plurality of electrically conductive tracks that electrically couple with the electrical contacts. Control logic can have a plurality of electrical connections and a logic bus that electrically couples the electrical connections of the control logic with the electrically conductive tracks defined by the tongue. An electrical biscuit-connector with internal electrical interconnections can join the network-controllable cooling fan with another network-controllable cooling fan, extending the logic bus while obscuring the electrical interconnections from a user’s view.

A connector is provided with an inner housing to be arranged inside an outer housing, a retainer mounting hole open in one surface of the inner housing, a terminal fitting to be accommodated into the inner housing, and a retainer to be inserted into the retainer mounting hole and having a part configured to lock the terminal fitting in a properly inserted state and project outward from the one surface of the inner housing in a half-inserted state. The outer housing includes an interfering portion capable of interfering with the retainer in the half-inserted state. The inner housing is held displaceably to a first posture where the one surface is located away from the interfering portion and a second posture where the one surface is located closer to the interfering portion than in the first posture with respect to the outer housing.

An electrical plug connector includes a metallic shell, a first insulated housing, a second insulated housing, a first terminal module, and a second terminal module. The first terminal module includes the first terminals and the first assembling block combined with each other to form a one-piece member, and then the first insulated housing is further combined with the first terminal module. The second terminal module includes the second terminals and the second assembling block combined with each other to form a one-piece member, and then the second insulated housing is further combined with the second terminal module. The four-piece component is assembled into the metallic shell. Accordingly, the number of the components for manufacturing the connector can be reduced, thereby simplifying the assembling procedure for the connector.

The terminal comprises a conductive contact plate, a conductive body, an extended part, and a lance. The conductive contact plate is elastic and makes contact with a counterpart terminal. The conductive body supports the conductive contact plate and comprises a side plate. The extended part comprises a folded part extending from the +Z-side end of the side plate and folded outward from the conductive body and an overlapped part extending from the leading end of the folded part and overlapping with the side plate. The lance is a member protruding from the overlapped part and having the shape of a cantilever beam.

A cable seal connector assembly includes an outer housing having a sealing area with a plurality of terminal insertion cavities configured to receive a wire and a cable seal of an electrical connection. The cable seal is disposed about the wire and configured to seal one terminal insertion cavity of the plurality of terminal insertion cavities. At least one terminal insertion cavity of the plurality of terminal insertion cavities includes a molded member integrally formed within the terminal insertion cavity when the outer housing is formed. The molded member is configured to seal the terminal insertion cavity, and the molded member configured to be removed from the terminal insertion cavity.

A power-source connector includes a power-source terminal and a housing that supports the power-source terminal. The housing includes at least two adjoining insertion ports, each partitioned by a partitioning member and through any of which an electrically conductive member is inserted, and a housing space, connected to the insertion ports. The power-source terminal includes a contact portion, disposed in the housing space and being contactable with the electrically conductive member inserted through any of the at least two adjoining insertion ports. The contact portion is disposed so as to extend across the at least two adjoining insertion ports.
