The invention concerns a connector-type socket comprising: —a body suitable for being connected via a front face to a complementary plug comprising a plurality of insulation-displacement contacts oriented in the same direction; —a separate connection module comprising a plurality of positions each intended to receive one end of a strand of a cable comprising shielding, the module being arranged in such a way as to be inserted into the body so as to bring each strand against the corresponding insulation-displacement contact; the socket being characterised in that the body comprises two separate parallel plates, each plate comprising a row of contacts, each row of contacts being arranged in a plane (P), the planes (P) containing the rows being separate from and parallel to each other such that all the strands of the cable can be connected in a single movement.

A power adapter is disclosed with retractable prongs to engage an outlet and obtain power therefrom, when extended, and be partially or entirely within the housing of the power adapter when retracted. To ensure safe operation, a channel is provided within the power adapter to accommodate the prongs when retracted and to accommodate the prongs travel as they pivot between extended and retracted. The channel is width-limited and/or has a length to make it impossible or, at least, exceptionally difficult for a human finger to come into contact with the prongs while the prongs are extended and sufficiently engaged with an outlet to obtain power therefrom.

An electrical port device having an electrical port and a cap or cover removable connected to the electrical port having a plug. The cap or cover and the electrical port have cooperating sealing surface to ensure a tight waterproof sealing when the cap or cover is installed on the electrical port to prevent water or moisture reaching the plug.

An electrical plug is provided. The electrical plug includes a body and a retention device. The body includes a first casing and a second casing. The second casing is pivotally connected to one side of the first casing and can rotate to make one of its ends away from one end of the first casing. The first casing and the second casing form a body inner space together. At least a portion of the retention device can rotate along the same direction as the second casing rotates.

A connector includes a terminal fitting, a housing body, a retainer portion and a hinge portion. The housing body accommodates the terminal fitting. The retainer portion openably and closably rotate with respect to the housing body. The hinge portion is coupled to the retainer portion and the housing body and constitutes a rotation center axis of the retainer portion. The housing body includes a cavity configured to accommodate the terminal fitting inside and a locking lance projecting into the cavity to lock the terminal fitting. The retainer portion includes a restricting portion configured to restrict rearward escape of the terminal fitting by projecting into the cavity when the retainer portion is in a closed state with respect to the housing body, and a front wall arranged in front of the locking lance in the closed state.

An angled housing part for an electrical connector includes a first section having a first flange surface, a second section having a second flange surface, and a bellows section arranged between the first section and the second section. The first flange surface is angled with respect to the second section. The first section and the second section are movable relative to one another upon elastic deformation of the bellows section.

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 housing includes: a housing body on which a portion for abutment is formed; an assembly that is detachably assembled to the housing body; and a hinge with which the assembly is mounted on the housing body. The hinge includes (i) a connection that is arranged between the housing body and the assembly, and on which an abutment is formed, (ii) a first joint that is disposed between the housing body and the connection, and has flexibility, and (iii) a second joint that is disposed between the assembly and the connection, and has flexibility. The abutment formed on the connection is allowed to abut on the portion for abutment of the housing body by bending the first joint, and the assembly is assembled to the housing body by bending the second joint in a state in which the first joint is bent.

Provided are terminal-free connectors for flexible interconnect circuits. A connector comprises a housing chamber defined by at least a first side wall and a second side wall oppositely positioned about the base. An edge support is positioned at each of the first side wall and the second side wall. The edge supports allow for precise placement of the flexible interconnect circuit inside the housing chamber. A cover piece is coupled to the base via a first hinge, and is configured to move between a released position and a clamped position. The cover piece includes a clamp portion securing the flexible interconnect circuit against the edge supports in the clamped position. A slider may be configured to move between an extended position and an inserted position within the housing chamber, and may include a convex upper surface configured to urge the flexible interconnect circuit upwards in the inserted position.

A connector for a flat flexible cable includes a housing portion and a plurality of terminals. The housing portion has a retention section and a crimping section. The retention section has a plurality of terminal receiving passageways. The plurality of terminals each have a contact portion held in one of the plurality of terminal receiving passageways and a crimping portion exposed in the crimping section. A plurality of conductors exposed in a window extending through an insulation material of the flat flexible cable are each crimped in the crimping portion of one of the plurality of terminals.
