The first section of the first portion and the first section of the second portion may be rotatably connected to each other, and/or the first section of the first portion and the second section of the first portion may be rotatably connected to each other. The first section of the first portion and/or the first section of the second portion may be configured to rotate about a first axis. The first section of the first portion and/or the second section of the first portion may be configured to rotate about a second axis. The first axis may be substantially perpendicular to the second axis. The first section of the second portion may include a first latch and/or a second latch.

A connector for a coaxial cable includes a coupler portion configured to engage an interface port, a housing portion having a forward end configured to be disposed at least partially within the coupler portion, and an outer conductor engager portion made of a conductive material disposed within the housing portion. The housing portion includes a rearward end configured to receive the coaxial cable and is configured to move axially relative to a post that engages the outer conductor of the cable. An interior surface of the housing portion is configured to compress an insert of the post when the housing portion is moved axially relative to the post such that the outer conductor is compressed radially inward against an exterior surface of the insert of the post.

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 electrical connector assembly that can quickly and easily be secured to two electrically conductive structures, such as a flat flexible conductor having multiple electrically conductive traces and a printed circuit board having multiple electrically conductive traces, without the use of specialized tools and/or methods is disclosed. The electrical connector assembly includes a housing having a plurality of slots defined therein. An electrical contact is disposed within each of the plurality of slots. Each electrical contact includes a first portion engaged with the housing, a second portion adapted to engage the first electrically conductive structure when inserted within the housing, and an intermediate portion located between the first portion and the second portion and adapted to engage the second electrically conductive structure when inserted within the housing.

An angled subassembly of an angled connector includes an angled shield having a first shield section and a second shield section extending at a bend angle with respect to the first shield section, a cable disposed in the first shield section and the second shield section of the angled shield, and an inner ferrule disposed around the cable within the angled shield. The cable has a wire and a foil disposed around the wire. The inner ferrule electrically connects the foil to the angled shield.

An angled subassembly of an angled connector includes an angled shield and a cable disposed in the angled shield. The angled shield has a first shield section and a second shield section extending at a bend angle with respect to the first shield section. The cable has a first portion positioned in the first shield section and a second portion positioned in the second shield section. The second portion extends at the bend angle with respect to the first portion.

The invention relates to a protective cap (1 or 1a) for arranging on a cable, a corrugated pipe, or the like. The protective cap (1 or 1a) consists of two parts (4 or 4a, 5 or 5a), in particular two identical halves, wherein the two parts (4 or 4a, 5 or 5a) are connected together via a film hinge (6 or 6a), and at least one latch geometry (7 or 7a) is provided which connects the two parts (4 or 4a, 5 or 5a) together after folding. The at least one latch geometry (7 or 7a) is integrated into the interior of the protective cap (1 or 1a) and does not protrude beyond the outer surface thereof.

A work machine, such as a hauler at a mining site, includes a conductive linkage connected to a conductor rod for receiving multiple poles of electrical power from a current collector sliding on a surface of a power rail. The conductive linkage includes trailing arms substantially parallel to each other and attached by lower joints to the current collector and by upper joints to the conductor rod. The lower joints and the upper joints have multiple axes of rotation and enable the trailing arms to move laterally and vertically with respect to the surface of the at least one power rail in response to movement of the work machine, while conducting the electrical power from the current collector to the conductor rod.

A work machine, such as a hauler at a mining site, includes a conductor rod housing concentric metal tubes for receiving multiple poles of electrical power from a contactor sliding on a power rail. A terminal assembly includes conductive extensions from the respective metal tubes that are arranged concentrically and rotatably around an axis orthogonal with the conductor rod, rotatable metal pins positioned transversely to the axis, and conductive arms connected through hinge joints to respective ones of the rotatable metal pins. When the conductive arms are connected to rotatable and hinged joints at the contactor, the terminal assembly provides multiple degrees of freedom for the conductor rod relative to the contactor and avoids detachment of the contactor from the power rail.
