The seal spring of the present invention has a dual functionality. The seal spring provides both a sealing property and spring function in use within an electrical connector system, which is accomplished by its elastomeric qualities. The seal spring is preferably comprised of Silicone, EPDM rubber or materials and compositions that provide similar performance during use, or the like. The seal spring of the present invention is not limited or defined into a spring section or a seal section by its geometry. Shown is an implementation of the seal spring within an outer housing and connector assembly. The seal spring compresses and provides adequate spring force against a tab or tabs within the outer housing. The seal spring also functions as an interface seal and an environmental seal during use. The seal spring is, substantially, in its entirety, of a contiguous and continuous single construction. No part or section of the seal spring is made up of welded, soldered, or brazen part or section.

Devices and methods for a sealed electrical connector are described herein. Some embodiments include a spring connecting a first PCB to a second PCB, wherein the spring includes a first end portion in contact with the first PCB, a second end portion in contact with the second PCB, and a middle portion extending between the first end portion and the second end portion, a spacer surrounding the middle portion of the spring, a first seal seated in a first groove of the spacer and in contact with the first PCB, and a second seal seated in a second groove of the spacer and in contact with the second PCB.

An electrical connector includes: an insulative housing having a base and a tongue forwardly extending from the base; plural conductive terminals insert-molded with the insulative housing; an insulative shell enclosing the insulative housing and having a top wall, a bottom wall opposite to the top wall, a pair of side walls connecting the top wall and the bottom wall, and a glue filling chamber formed at a rear side thereof; a metal reinforcement being insert-molded with the bottom wall of the insulative shell for mounting on an external circuit board; and a fluidal type waterproofing glue being injected into the glue filling chamber to form a waterproof rubber plate, wherein the bottom wall of the insulative shell is provided with a mold hole that runs through a rear end surface thereof and the mold hole is blocked from the glue filling chamber in a vertical direction.

A connector housing comprises an inner housing including a rear housing, and a first sub housing and a second sub housing each formed integrally with the rear housing. The first sub housing is sized to accommodate a first cable assembly, and includes a rear end connected to a front side of the rear housing. The second sub housing is sized to accommodate a second cable assembly and a third cable assembly. A rear end of the second sub housing is connected to the front side of the rear housing. The first sub housing and the second sub housing are arranged side by side.

A connector housing assembly includes an inner housing, a cable seal and a housing seal. The inner housing defines a plurality of terminal mounting holes for fixedly mounting a plurality of terminals. The cable seal is installed in the inner housing and is adapted to form a seal between the inner housing and a cable extending into the inner housing. The housing seal is sleeved on an outer side of the inner housing and is adapted to form a seal between the inner housing and a mating housing of a mating connector.

A connector assembly with housing panel positioning and plug connector thereof is disclosed. The connector assembly includes a fixing block and a socket connector positioned on two opposite sides of a housing panel, and a plug connector installed in the fixing block and electrically connected to the socket connector. Through the action of rotation and pushing, the plug connector is combined with the positioning column of the fixing block on the housing panel, and the plug head of the plug connector is electrically connected to the socket connector.

Various embodiments of a cable clip having a clip housing configured to engage a casing to establish an operative connection with a portable device encased within the casing are disclosed.

An electrical connection system includes a mounting stud having a base configured for mounting to a conductive surface. One or more one ring-shaped lugs, formed of an electrically conductive material, are configured for being positioned on the mounting stud for surrounding the mounting stud. The ring-shaped lug includes one or a plurality of interior channels extending around the inside diameter thereof. A contact spring is seated within a respective interior channel and is electrically conductive and dimensioned to extend radially inwardly from the channel and contact the mounting stud when the ring-shaped lug is positioned thereon. The contact spring is configured to at least partially collapse in the radial direction and to provide a spring bias against the mounting stud for providing an electrical connection between the ring-shaped lug and mounting stud. A locking cap is positioned on the mounting stud over the at least one ring-shaped lug for locking with the mounting stud and securing the ring-shaped lugs on the mounting stud for a secure electrical connection.

A seal for an electrical connector includes a sealing surface, a bearing surface opposite the sealing surface, a plurality of sealing lips protruding on the sealing surface next to one another, a plurality of support lips protruding on the bearing surface, and a plurality of recesses on the bearing surface between the support lips. Each of the sealing lips is opposite one of the recesses.

An electrical connector for a vehicle provides integrated noise suppression and includes a housing having openings at both ends, conductors extending through the openings, a magnetic ring surrounding but spaced from the conductors, capacitors spaced from the magnetic ring and coupled to the conductors, and insulating filler disposed within the housing and contacting the magnetic ring and the capacitors.
