A mating module includes a conductive terminal, a cable, a first metal shield member and a second metal shield member. The cable includes a core electrically connected to the conductive terminal, an insulating layer wrapped on the core, and a shielding layer wrapped on the insulating layer. The first metal shield member includes a first mounting piece. The second metal shield member includes a second mounting piece. The cable further includes a protruding piece connected to the shielding layer. The protruding piece is directly or indirectly clamped by the first mounting piece and the second mounting piece. As a result, the shielding effect of the mating module is improved. The present disclosure also relates to a cable connector having the mating module.

A connector 10 is provided with an outer conductor 20, a plurality of dielectrics 19 to be accommodated into the outer conductor 20, inner conductors 18 to be mounted into the respective dielectrics 19, a shield member 25 to be arranged between the dielectrics 19 adjacent in the outer conductor 20, and a locking portion 26 for locking the shield member 25 to the dielectric 19.

Disclosed is a train coupler connector module for electrically coupling a first rail vehicle to a second rail vehicle, the module including: a fixing block with an inner side able to be mounted on an electrical train coupler; a plurality of contact units arranged side by side in the fixing block, each contact unit having a first end facing the inner side of the fixing block and a second end extending outwards from the fixing block, one of the first and second end being a female contact and the other being a male contact; wherein at least one of the contact units is arranged to be individually removable from the fixing block in a direction outwards from the fixing block.

Disclosed is a modular housing for drivers used for LED lamps. The housing includes connectors for AC in from a power source, DC out to the lamps, and also has connectors allowing for control lines to be received from a control box. The housing includes an arrangement for creating two opposite stacks of drivers. The fronts of the drivers are cooled by circulating air through the space between the stacks, and heat is also dissipated through the side walls of the housing, which acts as a heat sink. The number and specifications of the drivers in the housing are configured such that every module is able to serve a number of LED lamps.

An add-on housing is provided comprising a frame-shaped basic shape which encloses a receiving region for receiving a contact insert or a holding frame fitted with plug-in connector modules, wherein at least two fastening surfaces having fastening openings are integrally formed on the outside of the frame-shaped basic shape, wherein the add-on housing has snap-fastening means or devices which engage through the fastening openings in order to mechanically fasten the add-on housing to a through-hole in a device wall. A method for fastening an add-on housing to a through-hole in a device wall is also provided, wherein: the add-on housing has fastening openings which are in alignment with corresponding fastening openings in the device wall; snap-fastening means or devices having a box-shaped main body and having opposing and resiliently mounted base portions laterally protruding from said main body are inserted into the mutually aligned fastening openings in the add-on housing and the device wall; the base portions, upon insertion into the fastening openings, are first pressed into the box-shaped main body and then extend to engage the device wall.

An electrical connector is provided with a segmented design supporting multiple connector configurations with commonality across the configurations that simplifies connector selection and qualification. The connector includes multiple segments, each with an insulative housing portion into which may be inserted power terminals in one or more configurations or signal terminals. A first-type power terminal may carry a first maximum power and a second-type power terminals may carry a second maximum power greater than the first maximum power, but the segments may be configured with mating contacts with similar properties. The connectors may have a mezzanine configuration configurable in a stack height selected from a wide range of stack heights, with fine-grained resolution. Terminals in all stack heights may have similar mating and mounting portions, differing only in the height of a body portion.
