A connector is provided that includes a housing, a contact, and a slider. The housing includes a mating connector receiving section, while the contact extends into the mating connector receiving section. The slider is positioned on the housing and includes a cam plate and a protruding wall positioned along a rear end of the cam plate.

A slide connector has a garment-side connector portion and a module-side connector portion to be fitted with the garment-side connector portion in a fitting plane, the garment-side connector portion including first contact portions each having a contact surface parallel to the fitting plane and at least one locking portion having a locking surface parallel to the fitting plane, the module-side connector portion including second contact portions each elastically movable and at least one portion to be locked extending in parallel to the fitting plane, as the module-side connector portion is superimposed on the garment-side connector portion and slid along the fitting plane, each second contact portion comes into contact with the contact surface of a corresponding first contact portion to establish electrical connection, and the at least one portion to be locked domes into contact with the locking surface of the at least one locking portion.

A fluid dispensing system. The fluid dispensing system includes a portable source container, a fluid dispensing nozzle, a pump system, a fluid conduit, and a power connector. The pump system includes at least one pumping portion for pumping fluid through a first fluid passage, an electric motor for powering the first pumping portion and a power receptacle for receiving power to the electric motor. The pump system is coupled the source container or the fluid dispensing nozzle. The power connector includes at least one retaining clip biased to a retaining configuration, the first retaining clip in the retaining configuration being configured to enable the power connector to be retained in the power receptacle.

A contact includes: a spring member constituted of at least one thin plate that has electrical conductivity and elasticity, the spring member causing elastic deformation when being sandwiched between at least one conductor pattern of a printed wiring board and at least one conductive member different from the printed wiring board; a housing made of resin that surrounds at least a part of the spring member from both sides at least across a deformation direction of respective portions of the spring member so as to support the spring member on the printed wiring board; and at least a pair of engaging portions, the respective engaging portions being formed in the spring member and the housing, the engaging portions engaging with one another when the housing is arranged in a position surrounding the spring member, so as to secure at least a part of the spring member to at least a part of the housing.

A card connector includes an insulative housing, a plurality of contacts received in the insulative housing and a metallic cover covering the insulative housing. The contact includes a retaining portion, an extending portion horizontally and forwardly extending from the retaining portion, a connecting portion downwardly and forwardly aslant extending from the extending portion, a floating portion downwardly from the connecting portion and a contacting portion further downwardly extending from the floating portion. There are two bending points on linking portions of the connecting portion connecting with the floating portion and the extending portion, respectively. By such arrangement, when the electrical card is inserted, the contact can rotate about the two bending points in turn, that can improve an elasticity of the contact.

A connector includes a rectangular flat-plate housing including a first positioning hole and a second positioning hole, and a contact row and a contact row held on the housing. The housing includes a first pitch side surface and a second pitch side surface on an opposite side of the first pitch side surface. The contact row and the contact row extend from the first pitch side surface to the second pitch side surface. The first positioning hole is disposed between the first pitch side surface and the contact row, and the second positioning hole is disposed between the first pitch side surface and the contact row.

A connecting element for galvanically connecting two electrically conductive surfaces, comprises: a body plate having a body plate upper surface defining a body plate top level; and a spring tab extending from the body plate and having a spring tab upper surface comprising an upper contact section above the body plate top level. The connecting element has a connecting element bottom level, and the spring tab has a spring tab lower surface comprising a lower contact section, the spring tab having a rest position in which, with no external force applied onto the upper contact section, the lower contact section lies above the connecting element bottom level, and is bendable, by applying external force onto the upper contact section, to a compressed position in which the lower contact section lies in or below the connecting element bottom level.

Described herein is an electrical connector. One embodiment takes the form of an electrical connector that includes a pogo-pin connector having: a pogo-pin-connector longitudinal axis, a first end compressible along the pogo-pin-connector longitudinal axis, and a second end; and a leaf-spring connector having: a leaf-spring-connector longitudinal axis, a first end that is mechanically and electrically connected to the second end of the pogo-pin connector at a junction point, and a second end that comprises a contact portion; wherein when the pogo-pin connector and the leaf-spring connector are connected, (i) the pogo-pin-connector longitudinal axis and the leaf-spring-connector longitudinal axis are substantially parallel and (ii) the contact portion of the leaf-spring connector is configured to exert a force substantially normal to the substantially parallel longitudinal axes.

An accessory shoe device capable of improving drip-proof performance while ensuring positional accuracy in a pitch direction in which terminals of a multi-polarized signal terminal connector are arranged. The accessory shoe device includes an engagement member for having an accessory attached thereto, a signal terminal connector including terminals for connection with the accessory attached to the engagement member, a top cover having the engagement member mounted thereon, and a positioning unit for positioning the signal terminal connector with respect to the engagement member. The top cover has an opening for externally exposing the terminals of the signal terminal connector. The signal terminal connector and the engagement member are fixed to each other by the positioning unit such that they sandwich a portion of the top cover surrounding the signal terminal connector.

A multipolarized signal terminal connector for an accessory, which is applied to an accessory shoe device having a defined shape. The signal terminal connector includes a first surface opposed to an attaching direction of an accessory, a first terminal row provided the first surface, a second surface which is inclined with respect to the first surface by a predetermined angle, and a second terminal row provided in the second surface. The second surface is inclined with respect to the first surface, in a predetermined direction orthogonal to the attaching direction of the accessory and a direction in which the terminals of the second terminal row are arranged, and is displaced with respect to the first surface in the predetermined direction.
