An electro mechanical or electrical connector for use in an electric vehicle including a plug body, a sealing ring, a locking member, and a cable is provided. The plug body has an inner wall and at least one locking recess on the inner wall. The sealing ring and the locking member are respectively disposed on the inner wall. The locking member has at least one elastic locking hook. The cable passes through the plug body, the sealing ring, and the locking member. The locking member is locked in the locking recess by the elastic locking hook to be attached to the inner wall, and forces the sealing ring to seal a space between the inner wall and the cable.

At least one of a housing and a pressing member has an inner peripheral surface to be held in close contact with an outer peripheral surface of a sealing member. The sealing member includes a sealing hole a cable being passed through the sealing hole, and recesses located closer to the outer peripheral surface than the sealing hole and open in at least one of the front and rear surfaces. At least one of the housing and the pressing member includes projections. If, out of an inner wall of the recess, a part located on the side of the outer peripheral surface is an outer lateral part and a part located on the side of the sealing hole s an inner lateral part, a clearance is formed between the projection and the inner lateral part and the projection is arranged in contact with the outer lateral part in the recess.

A connection assembly includes a first housing part, a second housing part pluggable with the first housing part, and a joint connector held between the first housing part and the second housing part. The first housing part has a plurality of contact element receptacles and a plurality of latching elements. The latching elements latch a plurality of contact elements in the contact element receptacles. The second housing part has a locking section locking one of the latching elements in a latching position. The joint connector connects at least two of the contact elements.

The present disclosure relates to a process connection for connecting a sensor to a process inlet via a process seal and a fixing element. The process connection includes a sensor housing and a clamping element. The sensor housing has a housing body configured to receive the sensor and a housing collar that extends around the housing body and has a first sealing section, which encircles the housing body, and a contact area. The housing collar is formed integrally with the housing body. The first sealing section is suitable for receiving the process seal to connect the process inlet to the housing collar in a fluid-tight manner. The clamping element has a contact area which is suitable for coming into contact with the contact area of the housing collar to press the housing collar onto the process seal.

An in-vehicle electric component-internal circuit unit has a novel structure that can reduce the number of in-vehicle electric component-side work processes and reduce in-vehicle electric component size. An in-vehicle electric component-internal circuit unit includes: an insulative holder that holds circuit members; a wire harness that includes a coated wire, a circuit-side connection portion that is provided on an end portion on one side of the coated wire, a connector that is provided on an end portion on the other side of the coated wire, and a grommet through which the coated wire passes; a plate wall portion for covering a housing through-hole provided in a housing of an in-vehicle electric component; and a seal member that is provided on a first surface, which is a surface of the plate wall portion to be attached to the housing and that comes into contact with the rim of the housing through-hole.

In a structure in which a cable is installed into a connector is provided. A back retainer is arranged in a compressed state between an inner circumferential surface of a cylindrical portion, included in a connector body and extending in the axis line direction, and an outer circumferential surface of the cable. The back retainer includes a main annular portion which is configured such that a compression amount on the back retainer in the radial direction centered on the axis line direction gradually increases as the compression amount goes from one side toward the other side. The back retainer includes an engaging protrusion configured to prevent the back retainer from detaching from the cylindrical portion on an outer circumferential surface of the back retainer.

The present invention provides a dummy plug that can be automatically corrected to a normal orientation, and a dummy plug structure. A dummy plug (10) is provided with a square fitting part (12) extending in the longitudinal direction. The square fitting part (12) has four corner sections (15) at diagonal positions about the axis in the longitudinal direction. Each of the four corner sections (15) has a chamfered section (17) outwardly expanding rearward and having a rearwardly tapering width dimension in the direction about the axis. Each chamfered section (17) has a ridgeline section (18) extending in the longitudinal direction and protruding outward. Each ridgeline section (18) is inclined so as to be offset further in one direction about the axis as the ridgeline section (18) extends rearward.

A shield connector includes: a housing that holds a terminal; a seal member; a holder coupled to the housing along an axial direction of the housing to support the seal member; and a shell, in which the shell has a protruding portion protruding inward from an inner wall surface of the shell, the holder has an engagement piece extending along the axial direction, and is locked by the shell by engaging the engagement piece with the protruding portion, the protruding portion has a locking surface that locks the engagement piece, and the locking surface is a surface facing an insertion direction in which the holder is inserted into the shell, and is an inclined surface toward the insertion direction as the locking surface extends toward a tip of the protruding portion in a protruding direction.

A shield connector includes: a cylindrical housing that accommodates a terminal and holds the terminal; an annular seal member that seals between an outer peripheral surface of an electric wire connected to the terminal and an inner wall surface of the housing; a holder coupled to the housingalong an axial direction of the housing to support the seal member; and a conductive shell that accommodates and holds the housing and the holder coupled to each other therein, in which an outer wall portion of the housing has a protruding portion protruding outward, the holder has an engagement piece extending along the axial direction and is coupled to the housing by engaging the engagement piece with the protruding portion from an outside, and the shell has a facing surface facing the engagement piece from an outside, and regulates outward deformation of the engagement piece by the facing surface.
