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.

An electrical connector body is provided includes first and second housing portions formed from molded plastic. The housing portions include first and second interface surfaces that are configured to butt against one another to define a housing and one or more electrical components are disposed within an interior of the housing. The one or more electrical components may comprise connectors of a male or female cord cap, an in-line surge suppression circuit, and/or a compact automatic transfer switch. In one implementation, each of the first and second connector body portions may include a strain relief extension for engaging an electrical cord and a compression member (3691) may be disposed over the strain relief extensions to secure together the first and second connector body portions. The compression member may be selected from a set of compression members based on a size of the electrical cord.

It is aimed to guarantee the connection of a connector by completing the assembling of a cover. A connector (10) of the present disclosure includes a first connector (20), a second connector (30) and a cover (40). The first connector (20) and the second connector (30) are connectable to each other and completely covered by the cover (40) in a completely connected state. The cover (40) includes a first cover (41) for accommodating the first connector (20) inside and a second cover (42) for accommodating the second connector (30) inside. The second cover (41) includes a pair of openable and closable second half covers (42U, 42L). The half cover (42U, 42L) includes a connection guaranteeing portion for coming into contact with the second connector (30) in the completely connected state from behind.

An electrical connector includes a connector housing having a first end and an opposed second end, a pair of release stops extending generally radially outward and adjacent to the first end, and a pair of deflection buttons extending longitudinally cantilevered from a pivot base having a lateral axis and having free ends extending toward the first end and located adjacent to and radially outward from respective ones of the release stops when in an unflexed state. The electrical connector also includes a latch arm extending longitudinally cantilevered from the pivot base toward the second end, with a free end of the latch arm including a latch lock configured to selectively engage a barb on a mating connector.

A cable cover for attached to a side of a rear surface of a housing of a connector and for covering a cable pulled out from the rear surface of the housing includes: a main body cover mounted on the side of the rear surface of the housing; a lid cover that is combined with the main body cover into a tubular shape and that covers the cable; and a hinge which couples the main body cover and the lid cover and in which a central portion is formed thinner than a root portion of the main body cover and a root portion of the lid cover.

A system and method are described for improved connector position assurance. A latch stop mechanism (10) on a first connector may be used to selectively limit movement of a latch (50) and attached latch lock (54) after the latch lock (54) has been engaged to secure the first connector to a second connector. The latch stop mechanism (10) may be attached to the connector housing (80) and have a series of hinges (12), (16) that allow a latch stop mechanism (10) to pivot into place, limiting movement of the latch (50) and latch lock (54). A terminal position assurance (TPA) (30) may be located on the bottom of the connector main body and when engaged, ensures proper positioning of the engaged wire terminal.

A first housing includes a wide connection surface and a bearing formed on an edge on one side along the longitudinal direction of the connection surface. A second housing includes a side surface formed to face in a direction intersecting a connecting direction of the first and second housings. A lid is displaceable about a shaft supported by the bearing portion to a closed position where the lid covers the connection surface and an open position where the lid member contacts the side surface. The lid is biased from the open position to the closed position by a biasing member. An outer shape of the lid has a long side arranged along the longitudinal direction of the connection surface and a short side intersecting the long side and shorter than the long side.

A connector, to which an end portion of a cable including a plurality of core wires is to be connected, comprises a housing including an arrangement surface section defining an arrangement space in which the cable is arranged through an opening, and an engagement member arranged in the arrangement space to hold the cable in the arrangement space together with the housing. The housing includes a first engagement portion for locking the cable by being displaced upward to project into the arrangement space, thereby pressing an outer surface of the cable arranged in the arrangement space. The engagement member includes a pair of second engagement portions arranged opposite to each other in a left-to-right direction through contact with the arrangement surface section, when the engagement member is arranged in the arrangement space, so as to lock the cable by pressing and sandwiching the outer surface of the cable.

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.

A branch connector capable of maintaining a sealing state for cables with different specifications is provided. A branch connector (10) configured to electrically connect cables together by cutting insulating sheaths in press-contact grooves includes a pair of first split housing (16) and a second split housing (30) that are coupled together via a connecting portion and can open and close, first holding portions (29) that are provided to the first split housing (16) and configured to hold the cables, and second holding portions (40) that are provided to the second split housing (30) and configured to hold the cables. In a state in which the first split housing (16) and the second split housing (30) are fitted together, the first holding portions (29) and the second holding portions (40) are in different locations from each other with respect to an extending direction of the cables and a direction perpendicular to the extending direction.
