A male connector (10) to be covered together with a board (P) by a case (C) with the male connector (10) connected to the board (P). The male connector (10) includes a male housing (11) connectable to a female connector (60) and including a back wall (25A) partitioning between the outside of the case (C) on the side of the female connector (60) and the inside of the case (C) on the side of the board (P) while extending in a vertical direction. The back wall (25A) has an opening (26) open in a connecting direction of the female connector (60) and allowing communication between the outside and inside of the case (C). A step is provided on an edge of the opening (26) so that an upper edge (26A) of the opening (26) is more forward than a lower edge (26B) of the opening (26).

A connector comprising a housing and a lever. The connector is mateable with and removable from a mating connector along a first direction by operation of the lever. The housing has an inner portion, an outer portion, at least one coupling portion, a pivot, a first portion and a second portion. The housing has a lever accommodating portion between the outer portion and the inner portion in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The lever accommodating portion partially accommodates the lever. The pivot is positioned inside the lever accommodating portion. The pivot supports the lever so that the lever is rotatable. The at least one coupling portion has a bridge portion which is elastically deformable. The bridge portion is sandwiched between the first portion and the second portion in a plane perpendicular to the second direction.

A connector comprises a first housing, a cam member, and an operation lever. The first housing has a mating portion configured to mate with a second housing of a second connector. The cam member has a cam groove configured to mate with a cam pin provided on the second housing. The cam member causes the second housing to mate with the first housing by sliding in a lateral direction intersecting with a direction of mating to draw the cam pin into the cam groove. The operation lever slides the cam member according to a turning operation. A nipping portion of the connector nips the cam pin in the cam groove when the cam member slides up to a mating completion position at which mating of the second housing with the first housing is completed.

An electrical connector arrangement includes a connector housing and a mate-assist lever. The mate-assist lever is rotatable about a pivot point and is configured to facilitate, upon rotation, mating and unmating with a corresponding electrical counter-connector. The pivot point is configured to move relative to the connector housing upon rotation of the mate-assist lever.

An electrical connector comprises a contact-carrying body having a plurality of electrical terminals, a slide member slidably mounted within the contact-carrying body and having a rack, an upper body mounted to the contact-carrying body, and a lever pivotally mounted on the upper body. The lever has a toothed wheel engaging the rack; movement of the lever between an inoperative position and an operative position moves the slide member between a retracted position and an advanced position. The lever has arms and a handle. Each arm of the lever has a telescoping structure including a first arm portion and a second arm portion slidably mounted to the first arm portion and connected to the handle. A movable portion including the second arm portion of each arm and the handle is movable with respect to each of the first arm portions between an elongated lever position and a shortened lever position.

A lever-type connector (A) includes a connector body (10). A lever (30) has a base end (32) rotatably supported on the connector body (10) and a rotating portion (34) for rotational operation is formed on a tip (33) of the lever (30). A finger contact surface (59) is disposed on an outer surface (58) of the rotating portion (34) and is configured to receive contact of a finger during a rotational operation. A resilient lock (51) is formed on the connector body (10) and is configured to lock the lever (30) in a rotation restricted state. Unlocking portions (53) are formed on the resilient lock (51) and are configured to press the resilient lock (51) in a direction separating from the lever (30). The unlocking portions (30) are exposed on the outer surface (58) of the lever (30) with the resilient lock (51) and the lever (30) locked together.

A waterproof connector (1) includes an accommodation recess (31) formed in a wire draw-out surface (26) of a housing (10) and configured to accommodate a ventilation film (63). A wire cover (50) is mounted on the housing (10) to cover the wire draw-out surface (26) and the accommodation recess (31). A wire bending space (54) inside the wire cover (50) is configured to bend wires (15) drawn out from the wire draw-out surface (26). A partition (56) is formed in the wire cover (50) and partitions between the accommodation recess (31) and the wire bending space (54) by contacting the wire draw-out surface (26) to cover an opening of the accommodation recess (31). Drainage portions (37, 38, 39, 40) are formed in a contact area between the wire draw-out surface (26) and the partition (56) and has a convexo-concave or stepped cross-sectional shape.

An electronic device can include plug connectors and receptacle connectors for providing connections between components of the electronic device. A receptacle connector for an electronic device can include a cavity configured to receive a plug connector; a latch extending at least partially into the cavity; a spring coupled to the latch; and a lever arm coupled to the spring. The latch can be configured to transition between an engaged configuration and an un-engaged configuration. The latch can be configured to retain the plug connector in the cavity when the latch is in the engaged configuration. The spring can be configured to retain the latch in the engaged configuration. The lever arm can be configured to transition the latch to the un-engaged configuration in response to pressure from a tool.

A connector includes a grommet housing and a connector insert received in the grommet housing. The grommet housing includes a conductor receiving opening for passing an electrical or optical conductor from an outer region of the grommet housing into an inner region of the grommet housing. The grommet housing includes an insertion opening for plugging the connector insert together with a mating connector. The grommet housing includes a sealing surface which encircles the insertion opening at least in sections for sealing the inner region. The grommet housing is made of rubber-elastic material.

A universal DC power adaptor for a PRC-148 radio, a PRC-152 radio, a Handheld ISR Transceiver, and similar devices and a method of using the same, is disclosed. The universal DC power adaptor includes mounting and locking features that are common to both the PRC-148 radio and the PRC-152 radio. The universal DC power adaptor further includes certain mounting and locking features that are unique to the PRC-148 radio and other mounting and locking features that are unique to the PRC-152 radio. The universal DC power adaptor also provides an output voltage suitable for both the PRC-148 and PRC-152 radios.
