An electrical connector system for assisting in coupling and unmating electrical connectors. The system generally includes an electromagnet to assist in mating and, alternatively, unmating or uncoupling a first electrical connector with a second electrical connector. The system may include a first electrical connector having a first plurality of contacts, an electromagnet on the first electrical connector adapted to produce a magnetic force, and an input device adapted to receive an input and to provide an output that causes an electrical current to be supplied to the electromagnet. When coupled, the first plurality of electrical contacts are conductively engaged with a second plurality of electrical contacts on the second electrical connector.

Disclosed is a holding frame for accommodating a circuit board, wherein the holding frame has a substantially rectangular basic shape and has two holding arms sticking out perpendicularly from the frame plane, each holding arm having a groove in which the circuit board can be held. A circuit board can thus be integrated in a heavy-duty plug connector in a mechanically stable yet low-wear manner.

A high voltage wet-mate connection assembly (1) with electrically non-connected and connected modes, comprising a receptacle part (100) and a stab part (200). The stab part has an axially movable connection body (250) moving between non-connected and connected positions. The assembly has a connected mode metal encapsulation (50) encapsulating the contact location (40) at a shield distance from the contact location when in the connected position. The connected mode metal encapsulation (50) is in electrical contact with a main receptacle conductor (109), thereby having the same electric potential as the main receptacle conductor (109).

A convertible force latching system includes two complementary connector bodies. Each connector body has a first mating face under which two series of magnets oriented alternating directions. A moving portion of the latching system allows the connector bodies and the magnets within to alter their alignment by the interaction of a user along a predetermined motion path. In a first arrangement, the series of magnets are aligned with such that the magnets of one connector body are attracted to the magnets of the other connector body. When the user actuation shifts the moving portion, the second arrangement positions the series of magnets such that they are aligned such that the magnets of one connector body are repelled to the magnets of the other connector body.

A receptacle connector assembly includes a receptacle cage having first and second side walls extending from a top wall to form a module channel configured to receive a pluggable module. The top wall is non-planar and has a shroud extending therefrom forming a cage polarization feature. The shroud has a first shroud side wall, a second shroud side wall and a shroud top wall forming a polarization feature channel configured to receive a polarization feature of the pluggable module.

A waterproof electrical connector system enables quick and easy coupling of a first and second housing to electrically connect a first and second electrical cable connected thereto. The electrical cables extend into a fixed portion of the housings and are electrically coupled with a bridging connector that is configured in a rotating portion of the housing. The assembly of the first and second housings has a latch and latch extension that can be moved along a radial portion of a latch channel to a circumferential portion of the latch channel to enable the rotating portions of the housings to be rotated. Upon rotating the rotating portions, the electrical cables are electrically connected by the bridging connector. The two housings may be substantially the same, having the same components and the same geometry. Each housing may have an inner and outer latch channel and latch interface, making operation quick and easy.

Connector assemblies for making connections to a subassembly, such as a processor card, may include signal contact tips formed of a material different than that of an associated cable conductor. The signal contact tips may be formed of a super elastic material, such as nickel titanium. The connector assembly may include ground contact tips that similarly make a pressure contact to the electrical component may be electrically connected to a shield of the cable shield Housing modules that interlock or interface with a support member may be employed to manufacture connectors with any desired quantity of signal and ground contact tips in any suitable number of columns and rows. Each module may terminate a cable and provide pressure mount connections between signal conductors and the shield of the cable and conductive pads on the subassembly, and conductive or lossy grounded structures around the conductive elements carrying signals through the module.

The present disclosure relates to a connector assembly including a first connector and a second connector. The first connector including a first insulating body, a first terminal module and a first shell. The first insulating body includes a first top wall shielded by an upper wall of the first shell. The upper shell includes a locking plate. The first connector includes a receiving space between the first top wall and the locking plate for positioning the second connector. A width of the receiving space is narrower than a width of the slot. The second connector includes a second insulating body and a second terminal module. The second insulating body includes a main body, a tongue plate and an extending portion. The extending portion is located above the tongue plate. The extending portion and the tongue plate at least partially overlap along a vertical direction.

A system of mated connectors includes a connector having one or more connector quadrants comprising electrical contacts and a mating connector detachably secured to the connector. The mating connector includes one or more mating quadrants and electrical contacts. The mating connector configured to provide electrical coupling to the connector detachably secured thereto. The electrical contacts of a first quadrant of connector quadrants have a first predetermined pin-out and the electrical contacts of a second quadrant of the connector quadrants have a second predetermined pin-out. The electrical contacts of each quadrant of a first pair of the mating quadrants have the first predetermined pin-out and the electrical contacts of each quadrant of a second pair of the mating quadrants have the second predetermined pin-out.

The present disclosure provides exemplary embodiments of wiring device assemblies that include an electrical wiring device and electrical plug connector assembly which permits easy connection of electrical conductors to the electrical wiring device via the plug connector assembly. The wiring device assemblies are configured to operate at a common voltage rating and include keying features to ensure the electrical wiring devices are configured to mate with electrical plug connector assemblies rated for the same voltage. The keying features include a key and corresponding keyway used to prevent electrical plug connector assemblies rated for one voltage from being plugged into electrical wiring devices rated for a different voltage.
