The first profile is configured to mate with the charging port and connect the circuitry to the charging port. The second electrical connector is integral to the housing, faces a second direction opposing the first direction, and has a second profile. The second profile matches the charging port. The second profiled is configured to mate with a connector head of a charging station and connect the circuitry to the connector head.

A connector assembly includes a connector body defining a plurality of cavities, extending longitudinally through the connector body. The cavities are configured to receive inner terminal housings configured to hold electrical terminals attached to electrical cables disposed within the cavities. The connector assembly further includes a retaining device slidably attached to the connector body and moveable from a pre-staged position to a staged position. The retaining device allows the inner terminal housings to be inserted or removed from the cavities when in the pre-staged position and inhibits the inner terminal housings from being inserted or removed from the cavities when in the staged position.

It is aimed to provide a connector having a function of protecting a male terminal and capable of coping with size reduction. A connector includes a guide, inside which a female housing is arranged, a cavity located behind the guide and communicating with inside of the guide, a holding member arranged movably in a front-rear direction with respect to the guide, and a male terminal arranged inside the cavity and including a tab projecting forward. The male terminal is provided to move integrally with the holding member.

The invention relates to a plug connection (1) having a plug connector (2) and a mating plug connector (3). The plug connector (2) and the mating plug connector (3) can be plugged together in order to form the plug connection (1), wherein the plug connector (2) has a contact support (4) with at least one contact chamber for receiving a contact partner, and the contact support (4) is inserted into an outer housing (5) of the plug connector (2). Each contact partner is primarily locked in the contact chamber of the contact partner, and a secondary lock (6) is provided for a secondary locking of the contact partners in the contact chambers thereof. The invention is characterized in that the secondary lock (6) is formed by a longitudinal web (16), at the two ends of which a respective latching element (17) is arranged that interacts with the contact support (4), and at least one force absorbing web (19) is arranged on the upper face of the longitudinal web (16).

A connector C is provided with a housing 30 formed with a through hole 39, a rubber plug 60 to be arranged inside the housing 30 and formed with a sealing hole 61, and a dummy plug 10 to be arranged from the through hole 39 to the sealing hole 61. The housing 30 includes recesses 43 open in an inner surface of the through hole 39. The dummy plug 10 includes a plug body 11 to be arranged in the sealing hole 61, an extending portion 12 continuously extending from the plug body 11 and to be arranged in the through hole 39, and protrusions 16 projecting from an outer peripheral surface of the extending portion 12 and arranged to be press-fit into the recesses 43.

A terminal holder to be inserted into a connector housing and a connector including the terminal holder is disclosed. The terminal holder can include a pair of locking arms facing each other, a coupling arm connecting one of the ends of the pair of locking arms opposite each other, and a supporting arm connecting inner surfaces of the pair of locking arms facing each other, wherein a locking portion is provided on an outer surface of each of the pair of locking arms opposite to the inner surface. In accordance with an aspect of an embodiment of the terminal holder of present disclosure, the insertion force for inserting the terminal holder can be effectively reduced, the breakage of the terminal holder in the insertion process can be suppressed, and the terminal retention force for holding the terminal and the retaining force between the terminal holder and the connector housing can be improved.

An electrical connector assembly includes a connector body defining a terminal cavity therein and a male terminal projecting along a terminal axis to a tip and secured within the terminal cavity by a primary lock feature. The electrical connector assembly also includes a terminal stabilizer defining an aperture that is disposed within the connector body and is moveable from a pre-staged position to a staged position. The electrical connector assembly further includes a primary lock retaining feature that is integrated with the terminal stabilizer and is configured to engage the primary lock feature as the terminal stabilizer moves from the pre-staged position to the staged position.

It is aimed to realize a size reduction. A connector includes a first housing (10) and a second housing (20) connectable to each other. The second housing (20) is configured by assembling a first terminal holding member (21) and a second terminal holding member (32) to be relatively displaceable. The first housing (10) is provided with a restricting portion (16) for allowing a connecting operation of the first terminal holding member (21) and restricting a connecting operation of the second terminal holding member (32). The first terminal holding member (21) is provided with a restriction releasing portion (27) for releasing restriction by the restricting portion (16) in a state where the connecting operation of the first terminal holding member (21) is started.

An electrical assembly includes a terminal block including a conductive bar having a connection end extending within a receiving recess of the terminal block, a pluggable connector releasably mounted on the terminal block, and a conductor adapter having a receptacle cooperating with the connection end in the mounted position. The connection end of the conductive bar extends in an insertion direction of the pluggable connector in a mounted position within the receiving recess. The pluggable connector has a central through-opening receiving and removably clipping the conductor adapter.

An insulating housing and a wire-end connector including the insulating housing are provided. The insulating housing includes a body portion, a power mating portion, a signal mating portion, and a snap-fit member. The body portion has a first surface and a second surface that are oppositely disposed, and a third surface and a fourth surface that are oppositely disposed. A plurality of first channels are formed along a first direction inside the body portion in a horizontal and parallel arrangement. The power mating portion is disposed on the second surface and includes a plurality of pillars, and the first channels penetrate the plurality of pillars, respectively. The signal mating portion is disposed on the third surface and has a fifth surface and a sixth surface that are oppositely disposed, and a plurality of second channels are formed therein along the first direction.
