An operating member (11) is displaceable to an assembled position, an initial position and a connection position with respect to a housing (10) and proceeds with a connecting operation of the housing and a mating housing (12) by cam engagement with the mating housing (12) when being displaced from the initial position to the connection position. The housing (10) includes resilient locks (25, 26) configured to restrict a displacement of the operating member (11) in a direction opposite to that from the assembled position toward the initial position by resiliently locking the operating member (11) at the assembled position and restrict a displacement of the operating member (11) in a return direction from the initial position to the assembled position by resiliently locking the operating member (11) at the initial position.

It is aimed to provide a connector capable of suppressing opening deformation of an operating member and avoiding enlargement. A U-shaped operating member (11) is arranged to straddle a housing (10) and is linearly movable from an initial position to a connection position while arms (37) slide on the housing (10) and proceeds with a connecting operation of the housing (10) and a mating housing (12) by cam engagement of the arms (37) with the mating housing (12) during a movement. The housing (10) includes support shafts (18) and the arms (37) include linearly extending long grooves (39) into which the support shafts (18) are inserted to be slidable in contact therewith. The support shaft (18) includes jaws (19) and the long groove (39) includes an engaging edge (44) configured to contact the jaws (19) in an opening direction of the arm (37).

A connector system for electrically connecting a power source to other power distribution components or assemblies, for example in a motor vehicle. This connector system includes a male connector assembly with an electrically conductive male terminal assembly having a male terminal body and an internal spring assembly. The male terminal body includes contact arms with irregular outer peripheries configured to reduce the insertion force associated with the male terminal body. The internal spring assembly includes a spring member and a spring holder that ensures and maintains proper relative positioning or alignment of the internal spring member within the male terminal assembly. The connector system also includes a female connector assembly with a female terminal assembly that receives the male terminal assembly and the spring assembly.

A connector (100) and assembly of the same, the connector comprises an insulative housing (1) and a plurality of contacts (2) assembled onto the insulative housing (1), the insulative housing (1) defining a mating surface (11) and a mounting surface (12) opposite to the mating surface (11). Each contact (2) including a contact portion (21) arranged in the insulative housing (1) and a mounting portion (22) locating at the mounting surface (12) and protruding sidewardly beyond said insulative housing, the mounting portion (22) defines a soldering surface (222) for being soldered onto to said printed circuit board (200), said soldering surface (222) face toward the mounting surface (12). Therefore, when the connector (100) assembled to the printed circuit board (200), we could make full use of the height space at the up and down direction of the printed circuit board (200), thus greatly reducing the height space occupied by the connector (100).

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.
