The present disclosure is an apparatus for providing a multiple receptacle assembly whereby a number of receptacles could be configured within a single assembly of a standard size. It is contemplated that more receptacles may be available in a particular size and width than conventional power distribution units. Additionally, in another aspect of the present disclosure, the present disclosure is directed to an apparatus for providing power for multiple types of plugs via a single receptacle. In one embodiment of the disclosure, apparatus for providing power for multiple types of plugs via a single receptacle may provide power to one of a C14 plug or a C20 plug via a single receptacle, whereby the single receptacle may be configured to operate as a C13 and C19 receptacle and in compliance with IEC60320 standards.

A multi-pole plug assembly, in which the positions of a first contact element and a second contact element can be exchanged by means of a turning device is disclosed. The first and second contact elements can be different in terms of their plugging compatibility, for example, in that they are configured as contact pins of different diameters. In addition or alternatively, the first contact element can be connected to an outer conductor, and the second contact element can be connected to a protective conductor or a neutral conductor. The plug assembly can be embodied as a four-pole plug and configured in such a way that the first and second contact pins can adopt the positions 3.sup.h and 6.sup.h (or vice versa) in relation to a distinctive nose. Within the scope of DIN Standard EN 60309-2, two electrically similar configurations can be realized in this way.

The invention relates to a plug connector, in particular a direct plug connector, for contacting contact openings of a circuit board, the plug connector including a contact carrier which can include coding devices, in particular coding pins and a polarity reversal safety, in particular configured as polarity protrusions; conductor insertion channels formed by the contact carrier and configured to receive connection conductors, and contact recesses configured to receive plug contacts; a primary safety that supports the contact carrier at the circuit board and that is in particular configured as interlocking elements, characterized in that the primary safety includes at least two interlocking arms that are arranged in pairs adjacent to each other wherein interlocking devices of the interlocking arms have different interlocking geometries.

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.

A plug connection having: a plug connector with, arranged thereon, a first coding element with a coding pattern and an insertion location with, arranged thereon, a second coding element with a coding pattern that matches the coding pattern, wherein the plug connector can be inserted, in an insertion direction (S), into the insertion location as far as a coupling position, when the first coding element and the second coding element adopt a predefined relative position. The first coding element can be rotated on the plug connector about an axis of rotation (A) that runs parallel to the insertion direction (S), and/or the second coding element is held on the insertion location so as to be able to rotate about the axis of rotation (A).

An assembly of a printed circuit board and a card edge connector for interconnecting a memory module card is provided. The assembly includes a card edge connector and a printed circuit board for receiving the card edge connector. The card edge connector has an insulated housing and a plurality of terminals that are divided into an upper-row terminal group and a lower-row terminal group. The insulated housing has an elongated slot formed along a longitudinal direction. Each terminal group includes a first terminal, a second terminal and a third terminal. The printed circuit board has grounding via holes and plated through holes which are formed at two sides of the orthographic projection of the elongated slot. The high-frequency signal holes are separated by grounding traces or the grounding via holes, so as to provide good shielding effect for avoiding cross-talk interference.

A shield housing mounts a yaw sensor onto a trailer structural element. A shield body defines a sensor cavity within a closed bottom, an open face, and a perimeter wall with a side opening. A mounting post extends from the closed bottom into the sensor cavity and is adapted to affix the sensor at a predetermined orientation in the shield body. A pair of side wings extend laterally from the perimeter wall. Each side wing has a respective groove adapted to retain a respective strap loop tensioned over the groove and the structural element. In one preferred embodiment, the perimeter wall may have a base edge, and the side wings may each have a base surface opposite the grooves. The base edge and the base surfaces may have a contoured profile configured to orient the housing in a predetermined direction on the structural element.

An electrical connector includes a housing defining an internal connector space and mateable with a mating housing of a second electrical connector in a mating direction parallel to a mating axis, a pair of electrical contacts housed in the internal connector space and mateable with a plurality of second electrical contacts of the second electrical connector, and a lever housed in the internal connector space. A mechanical contact between the housing and the lever establishes a fulcrum of the lever. The fulcrum is arranged between the electrical contacts. A pivoting of the lever moves a position of the electrical contacts relative to the housing.

An electrical connector system for use with independently heated hoses includes a first electrical connector, a second electrical connector, a third electrical connector, and a fourth electrical connector. The first electrical connector includes a first key that mates with a second key of the second electrical connector. The third electrical connector includes a third key that mates with a fourth key of the fourth electrical connector. The first and second keys differ from the third and fourth keys, ensuring the electrical connectors are correctly connected.

A connector system includes a male connecter including a male housing defining a recess and a plurality of pins arranged within the recess; and a female connector including a female housing configured to be insertable into the recess of the male housing. The female housing includes: front and back portions; a pair of longitudinal sides that extend from the front portion to the back portion; a planar side that extends from the front portion to the back portion, the planar side connecting first ends of the pair of longitudinal sides; a rounded side that extends from the front portion to the back portion, the rounded side connecting second ends of the pair of longitudinal sides; a front surface defined at the front portion by the pair of longitudinal sides, the planar side, and the rounded side; and a plurality of sockets formed at the front surface.
