A three-dimensional (3D) printed electrical connector includes an insert component, at least a first sealing member, and a shell. The insert component includes a body adapted for 3D printing. The body has first and second ends and includes a cavity penetrating the body along a longitudinal axis of the body. The first sealing member is associated with the insert component and is adapted for 3D printing. The shell at least partially encloses the insert component.

A seal housing for a cable lug comprising a cable entry extending in a longitudinal direction, and a dome extending in a transverse direction, transversely to the longitudinal direction, wherein the cable entry extends longitudinally towards the dome and terminates in the dome, the dome comprises a receptacle for the cable lug, and the dome comprises a transversely extending through channel which extends transversely, on both sides of the receptacle into a bottom region and a cover region, characterized in that the receptacle comprises latching means for mechanically receiving the cable lug.

An electrical connector system includes a plug connector and a receptacle connector each of which having a plurality of terminal receiving cavities for receiving a plurality of terminal lead wires. The plug connector having a perimeter seal for creating a waterproof barrier between the plug connector and the receptacle connector. The receptacle connector including at least one bridging portion having a surface for guiding and aligning the seal when the plug and receptacle connectors are mated together.

Disclosed is a shield connector for supporting cables such that terminals of the cables are directly connected to a terminal coupling portion inside a unit, the shield connector including: a fixing plate which includes fixing part-cable through-holes, through which the cables pass, and a holding fastening portion; and a sub assembly which includes movable part-cable through-holes, through which the cables pass, and has one surface supported by the fixing plate. The sub assembly includes: a shield plate which is in contact with shield portions of each of the cables and has the outer circumference in contact with a shield part of the unit; and a shield plate-fixing plate having one surface that fixes the shield plate. Therefore, the shield connector makes it possible to directly install the cable in the unit without the need for the separate male and female connectors.

A retainer resists decoupling of a first connector of a first cord from a second connector of a second cord. The retainer includes a first receiver having an adjuster to adjust the receiver about a portion of the first cord. The retainer includes a second receiver having an adjuster to adjust the receiver about a portion of the second cord. A connector housing couples the first and second receiver. The first receiver, second receiver, and connector housing form a continuous chamber in which lies portion of the first and second cords connected together when the retainer resides in an installed orientation. The retainer, in the installed orientation, resists incursion of water, dust particulate matter and other debris into the continuous chamber.

A waterproof connector has a cable in which metal terminals are connected to the tip end, a housing that houses the metal terminals and a part of the cable, a packing in which a cable through hole that is passed to the front and rear sides is disposed, which is incorporated in the housing in a state where the packing is passed over the cable, and which ensures a watertightness between the cable and the housing, and a stopper in which a cable through hole that is passed to the front and rear sides is disposed, which is incorporated in the housing on a side of the packing opposite to the side of the metal terminals, in a state where the stopper is passed over the cable, and which holds the packing to the housing in a slipping-off preventing state.

A waterproof connector includes a housing having a fitting portion to be fitted into a mounting hole of a mating member. A packing mounting surface is provided on an outer peripheral surface of the fitting portion. The waterproof connector further includes a first packing mounted on a rear end side of the packing mounting surface in a fitting direction of the fitting portion, a second packing mounted on a front end side of the packing mounting surface in the fitting direction of the fitting portion, and a retainer provided between the first packing and the second packing and locked to a locking portion provided on the outer peripheral surface of the fitting portion.

Provided herein is are quick-assembly plug connectors. In some embodiments, an assembly may include a body, and a contact carrier within the body, the contact carrier including a main body including a plurality of openings each operable to receive a contact, and a plurality of legs extending from the main body, each of the plurality of legs coupled with the body.

A connector includes: (i) an inner conductor engager comprising at least one tab being flexible to define an opening engager, (ii) a driver configured to drive the inner conductor engager to a desired position along the inner conductor, and (iii) a housing coupled to the inner conductor engager. The opening is configured to receive an inner conductor of a coaxial cable and extends through the entire inner conductor engager thus allowing the inner conductor to electrically connect to an interface port.

A method for producing a multi-core cable includes arranging first and second contact elements in a contact carrier having first and second longitudinal channels connecting a contacting side to a cable side, and first and second through-openings respectively crossing the first and second longitudinal channels, and a second through-opening crossing the second longitudinal channel. The first and second longitudinal channels and the first and second through-openings are sealed in a fluid-tight manner by inserting two first sealing pieces into the first through-opening and two second sealing pieces into the second through-opening. In an injection-molding method, a connecting piece is formed connecting the contact carrier to the outer sheath of the cable by overmolding at least a rear section of the contact carrier comprising the first and second through-openings and a section of the cable protruding on the cable side.
