An electrical connector includes a housing having a hermaphroditic mating interface configured to be mated with a mating electrical connector having an identical mating interface. The housing a contact shroud at the mating end with openings at the front. A contact assembly is received in the contact cavity with mating ends of contacts aligned with corresponding openings and defining a hermaphroditic contact interface. The electrical connector includes a retractable cover located at the contact shroud to close the openings that is movable relative to the housing between a closed position and an open position. A cover actuator is coupled to the housing including a pusher and an actuation element operably coupled to the retractable cover. The pusher is configured to interface with a complimentary actuation element of the mating electrical connector to actuate a retractable cover of the mating electrical connector.

A charging connection device for a vehicle includes a junction box disposed in a recess, a junction box cover flap, and a cover flap. The junction box cover flap and the cover flap are each pivotable into an open position and a closed position. The junction box cover flap covers the junction box in the closed position and the recess is coverable by the cover flap. When the cover flap is displaced from the open position into the closed position the cover flap entrains the junction box cover flap. The junction box cover flap has a first element of a junction box connecting device and the junction box or a component that defines the recess has a second element of the junction box connecting device. In the closed position of the junction box cover flap, the junction box cover flap is held magnetically releasably by the junction box connecting device.

A connector includes a housing configured to accommodate a connection terminal, a shutter that is rotatably provided in the housing and is configured to open and close a front opening of the housing, a rotation lever that is rotatably supported to the housing about a rotation axis, and an interlocking rotation mechanism provided between the rotation lever and the shutter and configured to rotate the shutter in accordance with rotation of the rotation lever. A pressing force of the mating connector, whose fitting tip end portion is moved to a position facing the front opening, acts on a lever front end portion of the rotation lever so as to rotate the rotation lever, and thus the shutter is rotated by the interlocking rotation mechanism so as to open the front opening.

A surgical instrument is disclosed comprising a housing and a control circuit mounted to and/or embedded in the housing.

A connector includes a housing having a mounting port, a connection assembly installed in the mounting port of the housing and adapted to fasten a terminal of the connector to a mating terminal of a mating connector, the connection assembly has a first operation part exposed from the housing and the connection assembly is capable of being fastened or loosened by operating the first operation part, and a safety cover slidably mounted on the housing. The first operation part is in a position of interference with the safety cover to prevent the safety cover from being moved to a safety position when the connection assembly is not fastened.

An apparatus provides temporary electrical connections to electrically powered devices. Exemplary arrangements include a base housing (01) that includes a socket (02) therein. Such a socket releasably engages electrical plugs to deliver household current, or may include USB ports or other types of sockets that releasably engage electrical connectors. A housing top cover (10) includes a socket access opening (11) that is in corresponding aligned relation with the socket. A rotatable plate (30) is positioned in underlying relation of the housing top cover and is rotatable in operative supported connection with the base housing. The rotatable plate includes at least one plate opening. The plate is selectively rotatable responsive to manual actuation of a button, between a socket blocked position in which an outer face of the plate blocks access through the socket access opening, and a socket access position in which the plate opening is in corresponding aligned relation with each of the socket and the socket access opening.

A feed device for supplying electrical power and/or data to an electrical load, which is movable in at least one travel direction relative to the feed device, via cables. An electrical line cable carried along by the electrical load can be connected or is connected to the feed device, and to a power supply system for supplying the movable electrical load. The line cable can be output or retrieved from a reservoir, which is carried along by the load, in accordance with a distance between the reservoir and the feed device. The feed device has at least one connection part, which is rotatable about at least one pivot axis, for the line cable. This feed device, as well as a power supply system having such a feed device, provides protective guidance and storage of the line cable, reducing the risk of kinking or excessive bending of the line cable when moving the electrical load.
