A first electrical connector includes a first latch that is configured to releasably engage a second latch of a second electrical connector when the first and second electrical connectors are mated to each other. The first latch can include an attachment portion that attaches to the connector housing of the first electrical connector, and an engagement portion that is movable with respect to the attachment portion between an engaged position and a disengaged position.

A terminal block includes an insulative seat, a flexible arm latch and a slider. The insulative seat has a slot and a sliding trough. A longitudinal direction of the sliding trough is parallel to a depth direction of the slot. The flexible arm latch is disposed on the insulative seat. A longitudinal direction of the flexible arm latch is parallel to the depth direction of the slot. The flexible arm latch has a first interfering portion and a hook. The slider is disposed in the sliding trough and longitudinally movable along the sliding trough. The slider has a second interfering portion. Either the first interfering portion or the second interfering portion is a slope. The first and second interfering portions abut against each other to push the slope to deflect the flexible arm latch to make the hook retract when the slider is traveling toward the slot.

A spring clip includes a first beam and a second beam connected to the first beam and resiliently deflectable toward the first beam from a relaxed position distal from the first beam to a compressed position proximal to the first beam. The second beam has a spring latch extending toward the first beam. The spring latch engages the first beam to secure the second beam in the compressed position.

A plug-in connector element with a locking device (14) for releasably locking on a plug partner (12), wherein the locking device has a plurality of locking hooks (16, 18) which are distributed on the circumference of a main body (10) and which are detented at a front end in the plug-in direction and are pivotable in a radial direction between a locking position and a release position, characterized in that the locking hooks (16, 18) are designed as structural parts which are separated from each other and from the main body (10) and which are mounted on the main body such that they are each tiltable about an axis running at right angles to the insertion direction and at right angles to the radial direction, and which, at the end opposite the detent, are each supported resiliently on the main body in the axial direction.

Example implementations relate to an electronic plug having a locking assembly for securing within an electronic port having a receptacle. The locking assembly includes a cantilever beam, a deformable arm, and an axle rotatably coupled to a connector of the electronic plug. The cantilever beam extends from the axle, where a free end of the cantilever beam includes a locking tab aligned to a recess of the connector. The deformable arm extends from the axle, where an open end of the deformable arm is rested on the connector. In a biased state of the deformable arm, the locking tab is positioned below the recess to allow movement of the connector in and out of the receptacle. In a relaxed state of the deformable arm, the locking tab protrudes above the recess to allow movement of the connector into the receptacle and prevent movement of the connector out of the receptacle.

A cable connector configured to secure a cable is provided. The cable connector has a casing, a latch, and a pulling member. The casing is configured to secure an end of the cable. The latch has a lower portion and an upper portion. The lower portion is secured on the casing and has a lower through hole. The upper portion has at least one upper through hole and at least one protrusion. The pulling member is connected with the upper through hole and penetrates the lower through hole. While the pulling member is pulled away from the latch along a first direction, the pulling member pulls the upper portion toward the lower portion along a second direction, so as to adjust a position of the protrusion. Thus, the latch may not be separated from the casing when a user pulls the pulling member.

An electric vehicle charger for charging a vehicle has a housing. A holster is fixedly attached to the housing having a latch partition and a plug partition. The plug partition houses a plug latch. A plug having a male charging connector is inserted into the hosung, where a spring-loaded latch positioned on a male charging connector engages and disengages the plug latch. The plug partition has a curvature that allows the plug to be inserted into the holster at an angle for engaging the spring-loaded latch with the plug latch. The spring-loaded latch disengages from the plug latch by a radial movement along the path of the curvature.

A detachable plug, including a main body, including a first section, and a second section detachably connected to at least a portion of the first section to detach from the first section in response to an application of force exceeding a predetermined level of separation force, a first connector disposed on at least a portion of the first section to removably connect to at least a portion of a motor vehicle, and a second connector disposed on at least a portion of the second section to removably connect to at least a portion of a trailer.

Provided is a data signal transmission connector configured to electrically connect a first electronic component and a second electronic component includes a first base frame and a second base frame having a structure which are mirror-symmetrical, the first base frame and the second base frame being disposed to face each other and to be spaced apart from each other.

A surface mount technology (SMT) terminal header is described for providing an electrical connection to a first printed circuit board (PCB). The SMT terminal header includes multiple first electrically conductive connector elements each having a base configured for surface mount attachment to the first PCB, and an insulative housing having multiple cells and a fixation member configured to attach the housing to the first PCB. Each of the multiple cells is configured to at least partially house one of the multiple first electrically conductive connector elements. Each of the first electrically conductive connector elements includes a position assurance member configured to attach the first electrically conductive connector element to at least one of the multiple cells of the insulative housing.
