A plug assembly in which the insulator part can be moved from an unfolded state to a folded state. The insulator may be utilised in the unfolded state for assembly of a wiring loom and then folded into the folded state for insertion into a connector body.

An electronic power connector including at least one contact configured to electrically connect a power supply to a load. The electronic power connector further including an insulating sleeve configured to receive the at least one contact. The insulating sleeve includes a sensor slot located at a first end of the insulating sleeve.

An insulation displacement connector connecting to a sheathed insulated cable has a housing including a first portion and a second portion mechanically engaging the first portion. The first portion is made of a different material than the second portion.

A connector and a package body that can be transported without exposing a filler to the outside and can stably deliver predetermined performance during use are provided. A connector (10) comprises: a pair of a first fitting object (16) and a second fitting object (30); a first opening (29) and a second opening (44) formed respectively in the first fitting object (16) and the second fitting object (30) and opened to a fitting side; and a filler (70) provided inside at least one fitting object of the first fitting object (16) and the second fitting object (30), wherein, before the first fitting object (16) and the second fitting object (30) are fitted together, the filler (70) is located inside of an opening of a corresponding fitting object, and an end surface of the second fitting object (30) on the fitting side forms a plane.

A thermocouple apparatus including a one-piece connector with a terminal header portion that defines a pair of openings on a front end, and a clam shell portion including a cap and a base connected on one side with a hinge to the cap. A pair of terminals are partially disposed within the pair of openings defined by the terminal header portion and extend into a cavity defined between the cap and the base. The pair of terminals may be a pair of prongs or may be a pair of receptacles. A pair of leads from a probe or a pair of leads that are part of an electrical connection to temperature measurement equipment extend through a lead wire opening and into the cavity. The cap clamps each one of the leads to one of the pair of terminals when the cap is in the closed position.

A connector comprises a cover, a base, a hinge mechanism, a terminal and a metal member. The cover is provided with a locked portion. The metal member is held by the base. The metal member has a locking portion, a coupling portion and a reinforcing portion. The locking portion has a first regulating portion and a second regulating portion. The coupling portion integrally couples the first regulating portion and the reinforcing portion with each other. The coupling portion and the second regulating portion are positioned away from each other by a predetermined distance in a front-rear direction. The coupling portion has a standing portion. The reinforcing portion is soldered on a circuit board when the connector is mounted on the circuit board. In a plane perpendicular to an up-down direction, the reinforcing portion at least overlaps with an area within a range of twice the predetermined distance from the standing portion.

A connector assembly includes a connector body, a terminal retainer configured to retain a terminal within the connector body when the terminal retainer is in a fully staged position, and a connector lock configured to secure the connector body to a corresponding mating connector assembly. The terminal retainer moves from a pre-staged position to the fully staged position as the connector body is mated with the corresponding mating connector assembly.

Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing an enclosure for protecting at least one connector of a cable. In some embodiments, an enclosure comprises an enclosure housing. The enclosure housing includes a first part and a second part. The first part of the enclosure housing is attached to the second part of the enclosure housing. The first part of the enclosure housing and the second part of the enclosure housing together define a chamber to fully enclose a connector assembly and a connector housing the at least one connector of the cable. The enclosure includes at least one opening disposed at a first end of the enclosure housing. The at least one opening is configured to allow a boot of the at least one connector or the cable of the at least one connector to extend through the at least one opening.

A cover assembly (100) is disclosed that can be installed onto and removed from a telecommunications connector (200) without requiring the connector (200) from being removed from its mounted position and without requiring an associated cover plate (120) from being removed from its mounted position. The cover assembly (100) can include a base portion (150) that defines an opening that entirely surrounds a cover portion (110). In one example, the cover portion (110) is attached to the base portion (150) via a living hinge (118). In one aspect, the base portion (150) acts as a color cap while the cover portion (110) acts as a dust cover. In one example, the base portion (150) is provided without a cover portion (110) such that the cover assembly (100) simply acts as a color cap.

A cable connector that includes an inner subassembly that includes a coupling nut for coupling to a mating connector or port and a post end for electrically connecting to a cable. An outer body includes separable sections that form an inner bore when assembled. The inner bore is configured to receive at least the post end of the inner subassembly. Each section of the outer body has a proximal end and a distal end and the distal ends are configured to accept the cable. The sections are releasably engaged for assembly of the outer body around at least a portion of the inner subassembly.
