A connector assembly comprises a connector and a mating connector. The mating connector comprises a mating housing. The mating housing is formed with a release projection. The connector comprises a first housing and a second housing. The first housing is provided with a stopper. The second housing is provided with a stopped portion. One of the first housing and the second housing is provided with a second support portion which supports a supported portion. When the second housing is installed to the first housing, the stopped portion is brought into abutment with the stopper, and a movement of the second housing is regulated by the stopper. When the thus-regulated second housing is received into the mating housing together with the first housing, one of the second support portion and the supported portion is brought into abutment with the release projection so that the regulation of the second housing is released.

An electrical connector includes at least one base body with at least one contact portion and at least one connection portion. The connection portion is provided for fastening an electrical conductor. The base body is made of a first material, and a layer of a second material is arranged in a surface area of the contact portion. An electrical connector that ensures reliable electrical contacting even under heavy mechanical stresses is realized by applying the layer of the second material by means of roll cladding or an additive manufacturing process.

A connector includes a housing, a first electrode and a second electrode. The housing further includes a first body, bending parts, foolproof key positions, a second buckle, a first opening and a second opening. The first body forms a first accommodating space and a second accommodating space. The first accommodating space is provided with the foolproof key positions, the first opening, the second opening and the second buckle. The second buckle can be arranged corresponding to a first buckle of the wire end connector to buckle the wire end connector in the first accommodating space and the second accommodating space. The first electrode includes a first end and a third end, and the third end forms first current divider pins. The second electrode includes a second end and a fourth end, and the fourth end forms second current divider pins.

An electrical connector assembly having a first electrical connector or header including a base and a shroud extending therefrom. The shroud defines a first opening arranged opposite the base and a second lateral opening defined between two ends thereof. A second or mating connector of the assembly includes a mating end received within the first opening of the shroud in an insertion direction. A body of the second electrical connector is received within the second lateral opening of the shroud and includes a pair of covers or hoods with channels for receiving and mechanically joining the two ends of the shroud.

The invention relates to an electrical plug connector, with a housing (1) with at least one insertion opening (2) for a complementary plug connector and a contact carrier (3), arranged in the housing (1), for the electrical contacts accessible through the insertion opening(s). Two concentrically arranged housing parts (5, 6) are connected to one another via a base (8) on the end opposite the at least one insertion opening (2). Between the housing parts (5, 6), an annular intermediate space (7) is formed as an annular receiving opening for the plug extension of a complementary plug connector. A receiving space (9) for the contact carrier (3) is provided inside the internal housing part (6).

A cable inlet assembly for an inlet housing includes a cable inlet cover covering an inlet for at least one cable, and a locking element slidable between an unlocked position and a locked position. The locking element includes at least one opening adapted to receive a terminal of the at least one cable, and a first coupling element adapted to be coupled with a second coupling element of the cable inlet cover. The displacement of the cable inlet cover along a vertical direction induces a sliding of the locking element along an orthogonal direction between the unlocked position and the locked position for locking a position of the terminal.

On a round plug, outwardly directed detent hooks are arranged between a plug-in region and a contact carrier portion of an insulating body or a base portion of the round plug housing. A mating connector has, on a plug-in side of a threaded portion, an inwardly directed circumferential or interrupted detent lug. The detent arms do not need to reach through the threaded portion. The detent arms can therefore be made particularly strong, and the inner thread can be continuous. The retaining forces of the locking/screwing are thus very high, and the detent arms for example can be integrally molded on a plastic insulation body, and thus be formed in one piece therewith, for simplified production. Operation and manufacture are significantly simplified.

A vehicle configured to execute one or more methods for detecting function of a charging receptacle during a charging cycle. The methods include supplying a charging current through the pins; monitoring a pin temperature of the pins during the charging current; and applying a first step function to the charging current. The methods may also include monitoring a first step change in the pin temperature during the first step function; comparing the first step change in the pin temperature to a first expected temperature change to create a first deviation; and comparing the first deviation to a predetermined threshold. If the first deviation exceeds the predetermined threshold, signaling a maintenance alert, and if the first deviation is less than the predetermined threshold, logging the first deviation.

An electrical plug connector includes a plug connector housing, a locking member and a blocking member. The locking member is movable between a locking position and an unlocking position. In the locking position, the locking member is configured to prevent the plug connection from releasing and, in the unlocking position, the locking member is configured to allow it to be released. The blocking member is displaceable between a starting position and a blocking position. In the blocking position, the blocking member is configured to prevent the locking member from assuming the unlocking position. The blocking member is configured to strike a mating plug connector housing by shifting the plug connector housing relative to the mating plug connector housing, in such a way that the mating plug connector housing displaces the blocking member from the starting position into the blocking position counter to the plugging direction.

A control box includes a housing, and a plurality of positive and negative plug connectors protruded and fastened on a cable let-out surface of the housing. The plurality of positive and negative plug connectors are different from each other, and each of structures of the plurality of positive and negative plug connectors is selected from a group including a dual male plug transmission-end structure and a dual female plug transmission-end structure. The dual female plug transmission-end structure is matched with a dual male plug transmission cable, and the dual male plug transmission cable includes the dual male plug transmission-end structure; the dual male plug transmission-end structure is matched with a dual female plug transmission cable, and the dual female plug transmission cable includes the dual female plug transmission-end structure.
