A connector assembly includes at least one elongated inner signal contact having a first connection portion. The first connection portion includes a tube-like main section and a funnel-shaped end section. The first connection portion further includes an insulating element. The insulating element defines at least one elongated cavity designed to accommodate the elongated inner signal contact. A maximum outer cross-sectional dimension of the funnel-shaped end section is greater than a minimum cross-sectional dimension of the elongated cavity.

A connector for providing an electrical connection between at least one terminating mating terminal to a substrate. The connector includes a housing having at least one terminal receiving cavity. A receptacle terminal is positioned in the at least one terminal receiving cavity. The receptacle terminal has a latching projection which cooperates with the at least one mating terminal to retain the at least one mating terminal in electrical engagement with the receptacle terminal when the at least one mating terminal is fully inserted in the at least one terminal receiving cavity. A release mechanism is provided in the housing in line with the latching projection of the receptacle terminal, the release mechanism is configured to cooperate with the receptacle terminal to depress the latching projection when the at least one mating terminal is to be removed from the at least one terminal receiving cavity.

An electric power connector for a connective terminal to be plugged in, which includes a carrier, a clamping member, a driven element, a sliding element, and a gear. The clamping member is disposed in the carrier and clamps the connective terminal. The driven element is movably disposed in the carrier and is arranged correspondingly to the clamping member. The sliding element is slidably connected in the carrier and includes a rack and a pushing portion. The gear is rotatably connected to the carrier and engages with the rack. The sliding element is configured to slide relative to the carrier by controlling the gear to rotate. The pushing portion moves with the sliding element to push the driven element to shift to force the clamping member to latch the connective terminal.

A connector includes a housing extending in a predetermined direction intersecting the fitting direction, a plurality of contacts held by the housing and arrayed along the predetermined direction, and a reinforcing member held at an end portion of the housing in the predetermined direction and made of a metal material, the reinforcing member having a first member and a second member, the first member including a first reinforcing portion extending in a U-shape along the end portion of the housing when viewed in the fitting direction, and a connecting portion connected to the first reinforcing portion and electrically connected to a counter reinforcing member of the counter connector, the second member being formed as a separate component from the first member and including a second reinforcing member extending in a U-shape along the first reinforcing portion when viewed in the fitting direction.

An electrical connector includes an insulative housing, a plurality of conductive terminals retained in the insulative housing and two grounding members. The insulative housing defines an upper sidewall, a lower sidewall and two end walls connected to both ends of the upper and lower sidewalls to form a mating cavity. Each grounding member defines a body portion fixed to the insulative housing and a plurality of contacting arms extending forward from the body portion. Each contacting arm defines a pair of wing portions located on both sides thereof, and the upper and lower sidewalls define a plurality of channels and a plurality of receiving slots. The contacting arms of the grounding member are running through the channels and projecting into the mating cavity, and the wing portions are abutted against the bottom surfaces of the receiving slots to form a pre-pressure to the contacting arms.
