A connector assembly includes an inner housing, a substrate inserted into the inner housing, and a terminal position assurance (TPA) member supporting the substrate for the substrate not to be separated from the inner housing. The TPA member having a hot staking protrusion penetrating through the substrate and the inner housing.

A spring clip for a flat flexible cable includes a first beam and a second beam connected to the first beam and resiliently deflectable toward the first beam. The second beam has a first contact bend extending toward the first beam. The flat flexible cable is positioned between the first beam and the second beam and the first contact bend abuts a conductor exposed through an insulation material of the flat flexible cable to electrically connect the spring clip with the conductor.

An electronic connector includes a rigid central region and at least one branch that extends away from the rigid central region. A flexible part is disposed at one end of the at least one branch and adjacent to the rigid central region. A conductor terminal is located at an opposing end of the at least one branch. A rigid part is disposed between the flexible part and the conductor terminal. At least one flexible element is disposed adjacent to one surface of the flexible part. The flexible part of the at least one branch and the at least one flexible element combine to permit the at least one branch to be both (i) sufficiently flexible to permit the at least one branch to be bent, and (ii) sufficiently rigid to permit the at least one branch to subsequently return to its original shape.

A connection device electrically connects a textile to an electrical contact of a connector. The connection device is received in an insertion direction in the connector. The connection device includes a body and an attachment device. The body has a first end and a second end opposite the first end in the insertion direction. The body has a first surface extending between the first end and the second end and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The body has a portion at the first end extending essentially transversely from the first surface, the portion having an aperture into which the textile is inserted. The attachment device for the textile is connected to the second surface at the first end.

A connecting assembly for electrically connecting a ribbon cable in an aircraft. The assembly has a housing with a slot-shaped opening through which an end section of a ribbon cable can be inserted into a housing interior into a predetermined insertion position. The assembly has a first and a second engagement section which are arranged in the interior. The first engagement section is mounted such that it can be optionally moved between a first and a second position, such that by moving the first engagement section into its second position, the end section can be clamped tight optionally between the first second engagement sections and conductor tracks of the ribbon cable are then in contact with a corresponding number of electrical contacts provided on the first engagement section. In the second position, the first engagement section is releasably secured by a latching device.

An electrical connector includes a housing, a plurality of contacts arranged in the housing, an actuator mounted to the housing and configured to move relative to the housing, and a locking terminal mounted to the housing, the locking terminal comprising a locking arm extending through an interior portion of the actuator and into a cavity within the housing, the cavity having an upper surface and a lower surface. Movement of the actuator relative to the housing may cause the interior portion of the actuator to push against at least part of the locking arm and rotate the at least part of the locking arm. When the actuator is in a first position, the locking arm may contact a surface of the cavity within the housing, which may inhibit the actuator from rotating in a first direction.

The cable assembly may include a first wire assembly. The first wire assembly may be connected to a first connector and a second connector. The first connector may include a shell and the shell may include an extension. The extension may extend away from the rear of the connector. In one embodiment, the extension may be integral with the shell. The extension may include one or more openings. The first wire assembly is bent in a controlled manner at first bend. The first opening in the extension maintains the first wire assembly in the bent position to maintain control of the radius in first bend. The radius is controlled to allow the first wire assembly to fit in a small space.

A connector includes a connector body, a first elastic member, and a second elastic member. The connector body has an insertion hole that allows a connection member to be inserted thereinto. The connection member has a plate shape or a sheet shape. Each of the first and second elastic members is a conductive member that includes a base fixed to the connector body. The first and second elastic members are elongated in a thickness direction of the connection member and butted against each other so as to partially block the insertion hole. The thickness direction intersects an insertion direction of the connection member.

A plug as a connector includes a first wiring board, a second wiring board, a plate-shaped ground plate which is provided between the first and the second wiring boards and which includes a first contact point to be brought into contact with first and second ground conductors of the first and the second wiring boards, and a first insulator for holding the first and the second wiring boards, and the ground plate. The first insulator covers at least a part of each of five portions including distal end portions, both side end portions, and two main surface portions, which face outward, of a whole of the first wiring board, the second wiring board, and the ground plate, and holds the ground plate under a pressing state. A portion of at least one side end portion of the ground plate is exposed to the outside of the first insulator.

A full-shielding cable connector includes an insulated body, a metal frame, a shielding conductive body, and a pull rod. The insulated body has a plurality of terminal slots for receiving a plurality of terminals, respectively. The metal frame is fixed to the insulated body. The metal frame has pins that are electrically connected to a grounding circuit of a circuit board. The shielding conductive body is detachably assembled to the insulated body and arranged above the metal frame. The shielding conductive body has a cable receiving chamber for receiving a cable, and contacts a top and bottom surface of the cable. The pull rod is rotatable with respect to the shielding conductive body. The pull rod can be rotated to a front end of the insulated body to be fastened thereto.
