The invention is an electrical connector provided with winder means for temporarily fastening the cable to which it is attached.

An object of the invention is to facilitate winding cables that are connected to electrical appliances, or extension cords, or indeed cables for recharging electric vehicles.

The connector is constituted by a connector body (A) that includes fastener means (Cro1, Cro2, C) for temporarily fastening the cable to which the connector is attached. The plate (Cro1) being integral with the connector body (A). The two portions (Cro1, Cro2) are assembled together face-to-face via their pivot axis C, which is situated on a horizontal axis (AXH) that is common to both plates (Cro1, Cro2).

The electrical connector of the invention is particularly intended for cables for recharging batteries of electric vehicles.

An electromagnetic terminal shield includes a shield body formed of sheet metal having a connector opening configured to receive a corresponding mating terminal shield and a cable opening configured to receive a wire cable and a plurality of cantilevered spring arms integrally formed with the shield body having fixed ends attached to the connector opening and free ends disposed within a shield cavity defined by the shield body. Each spring arm in the plurality of cantilevered spring arms has a free end that is in contact with the inner surface of the shield body within the shield cavity. A process for manufacturing an electromagnetic terminal shield and the electromagnetic terminal shield produced by this process are also presented herein.

An electrical plug includes a plug housing having a first outer housing part and a second outer housing part separate from the first outer housing part, an earthing contact disposed in the plug housing, and an earthing connection element separate from the earthing contact and disposed in the plug housing. The first outer housing part and the second outer housing part are each at least partly metallic. The earthing connection element is electrically connected to the earthing contact, the first outer housing part, and the second outer housing part.

A contact for an electrical plug connector comprises a plug portion and a contact spring. The plug portion has an opening receiving a pin contact in an insertion direction. The contact spring is connected by at least one spring arm base to the plug portion and extends from the at least one spring arm base toward the opening in a direction opposite the insertion direction. The contact spring exerts a contact force on the pin contact perpendicular to the insertion direction.

A connector for a flat flexible cable includes a housing and a spring clip disposed in the housing. The housing has a main body and a cover. The cover is movable with respect to the main body between an open position and a closed position. The spring clip is resiliently deflectable by the cover. The spring clip is in a first state with the cover in the open position in which the spring clip abuts a conductor exposed through an insulation material of the flat flexible cable with a first contact force. The spring clip is in a second state with the cover in the closed position in which the spring clip abuts the conductor with a second contact force greater than the first contact force.

A connector includes a cage having a plurality of receiving chambers, a separation mechanism including a lower separation plate and an upper separation plate, a radiator disposed between the lower separation plate and the upper separation plate, and an elastic clip mounted on the radiator and elastically holding the radiator in the separation mechanism. The separation mechanism is located between and separates a pair of adjacent receiving chambers of the plurality of receiving chambers in a height direction of the connector. A pair of sides of the elastic clip opposite to each other in a lateral direction of the radiator are fixed between the lower separation plate and the upper separation plate.
