A connector housing for an electrical connector includes a receiving portion arranged inside a cavity of the connector housing. The receiving portion is adapted to receive an electrical contact terminal. The receiving portion further comprises at least one latching nose adapted to block a release movement of the electrical contact terminal upon insertion of the electrical contact terminal into the connector housing. The connector housing comprises a reinforcement element made of a material different than the material of the connector housing. Said reinforcement element is arranged on a surface of the connector housing and adapted to reinforce at least a part of the connector housing in a region around the at least one latching nose. The present disclosure further relates to a connector assembly for an electrical connector.

A connector assembly includes a connector body, a terminal retainer configured to retain a terminal within the connector body when the terminal retainer is in a fully staged position, and a connector lock configured to secure the connector body to a corresponding mating connector assembly. The terminal retainer moves from a pre-staged position to the fully staged position as the connector body is mated with the corresponding mating connector assembly.

A movable support structure, wherein the retaining/restricting portion is resiliently deformable in a direction to be retracted from a relative passage path for the receiving portion when the supported portion is inserted into the movable supporting portion from a catching posture, in which the retaining/restricting portion is caught by the receiving portion, with the supported portion supported by the movable supporting portion, and the deformation restricting portion restricts resilient deformation of the retaining/restricting portion in a direction to be retracted from the catching posture.

The guide rod assisted electrical quick connect device disclosed herein may allow a user to first advance an electrical lead into an exterior wall, and then advance that lead through multiple interior layers of the wall without utilizing additional components. The lead may comprise a quick-connect fishing tool that may be attached to a quick-connect connector attached to the signage, and the fishing tool may then be quickly removed and replaced by a quick-connect connector that is attached to the power source. The connector attached to the signage may be a male connector, and the connectors attached to the fishing tool and power source may be female connectors, or vice versa, so as to facilitate the spirit of the present invention. The design of the present invention may both simplify and reduce the time required to install signage, as compared to techniques known in the art.

A connector is provided with a housing 10, a front seal portion 36 to be arranged to face a front surface of the housing 10, and a front wall portion 41 to be arranged to face a front surface of the front seal portion 36. The housing 10 includes cavities 17, deflectable locking lances 19 projecting into the cavities 17, and space portions 20 located in a deflection direction of the locking lances 19. The front wall portion 41 includes detection pieces 44 projecting rearward, tip sides of the detection pieces 44 being arranged in the space portions 20. The front seal portion 36 includes detection-side seal holes 40 to be held in close contact with base end sides of the detection pieces 44. The base end sides of the detection pieces 44 have a circular cross-sectional shape corresponding to the detection-side seal holes 40.

A terminal retention hole of a receptacle housing has guide grooves for permitting sliding of protruding guide parts of a receptacle terminal in the engaging longitudinal direction of the protruding guide parts. Each of the plug terminals has a base part and a contact part extending from the base part. A thickness of the plug terminal contact part in the horizontal direction is smaller than the thickness of the plug terminal base part in the horizontal direction.

A connector housing for an electrical connector includes a housing part and a shielding element disposed on the housing part. The shielding element has a contact spring contacting a shielding part of a mating connector housing. The contact spring is bent and pressed against the shielding part during a plugging operation between the connector housing and the mating connector housing.

The present invention prevents shield terminal backlash within a housing. The present invention comprises: a shield terminal (20) of a form in which an inner conductor (21) and a dielectric (23) are surrounded by an outer conductor (24); and a housing (10) in which the shield terminal (20) is accommodated. The housing (10) has a hood portion (16) that surrounds the front end portion of the shield terminal (20) with a space therebetween. The housing (10) has formed therein a cylindrical holding portion (18) that holds the outer peripheral portion of the front end portion of the shield terminal (20) within the hood portion (16).

The present invention suppresses shield terminal backlash within a housing. This shield connector comprises: a shield terminal (30) of a form in which an inner conductor (31) and a dielectric (33) are surrounded by an outer conductor (34); and a housing (10) in which the shield terminal (30) is accommodated. The housing (10) has a hood portion (17) that surrounds the front end portion of the shield terminal (30) with a space therebetween. The housing (10) has formed therein an elastic contact portion (20) that elastically contacts the outer peripheral surface of the shield terminal (30).

An electrical connector includes a main body, a first cover, and a second cover. The main body includes a first connection portion, a wire inlet portion, and an accommodating space between the first connection portion and the wire inlet portion. The first cover is pivotally connected to the first connection portion to be rotatable relative to the main body between a first position and a second position. When the first cover is at the first position, the accommodating space is opened for installation. When the first cover is at the second position, the first cover at least partially closes the accommodating space for protection. The second cover is connected to the first cover and separably encloses a wire inlet hole with the wire inlet portion. The second cover is movable relative to the wire inlet portion to adjust the size of the wire inlet hole.
