A terminal module (10) is provided with a terminal fitting (12) to be connected to an end part of a cable (11), a rubber plug (13) to be held in close contact with the outer periphery of the cable (11), a housing (14) for supporting the terminal fitting (12), and a cover (15) to be mounted on the housing (14) to cover the terminal fitting (12). The rubber plug (13) is sandwiched and held between the housing (14) and the cover (15).

A connector assembly comprises a connector and a mating connector. The mating connector comprises a mating housing. The mating housing is formed with a release projection. The connector comprises a first housing and a second housing. The first housing is provided with a stopper. The second housing is provided with a stopped portion. One of the first housing and the second housing is provided with a second support portion which supports a supported portion. When the second housing is installed to the first housing, the stopped portion is brought into abutment with the stopper, and a movement of the second housing is regulated by the stopper. When the thus-regulated second housing is received into the mating housing together with the first housing, one of the second support portion and the supported portion is brought into abutment with the release projection so that the regulation of the second housing is released.

A connector for a flat flexible cable or flat printed cable includes a housing portion and a plurality of terminals. The housing portion includes a plurality of terminal receiving passageways each receiving a contact portion of one of the plurality of terminals. A plurality of conductors exposed in a window extending through an insulation material of the flat flexible cable are each clamped in a terminating portion of one of the plurality of terminals by a clamping force applied thereon by a cover selectively fixable with respect to the housing portion.

A conductor connection terminal having a first insulating material housing and a second insulating material housing. The first and the second insulating material housings each have a plurality of conductor insertion openings arranged side by side for inserting an electrical conductor in a conductor insertion direction into the insulating material housing. The first insulating material housing has a first busbar and the second insulating material housing has a second busbar, and at least two conductor insertion openings of the first insulating material housing and the second insulating material housing are each associated with a clamping spring having a clamping leg. The clamping leg and the respective busbar form a clamping point for an electrical conductor to be clamped.

It is aimed to reduce an external force acting on a circuit board. A connector (10) is provided with a housing (12) including a board accommodating portion (13), a circuit board (42) accommodated in the board accommodating portion (13), a first terminal holding portion (26) formed in the housing (12) to be integrated with the board accommodating portion (13), a second terminal holding portion (30) formed in the housing (12) to be integrated with the board accommodating portion (13) and second terminal fittings (52) connected to the circuit board (42) while being held in the second terminal holding portion (30).

A plug connector, which can be fastened to a line, for transmitting optical and electrical signals, includes a contact support, two contact fastening regions, a lens fastening region and a locking member. The contact fastening regions are formed in the contact support and are each configured to receive an electrical contact, which is connectable to the line, for transmitting the electrical signals. The lens fastening region is formed in the contact support and is configured to receive, in an aligned manner, a lens member, which is connectable to the line, for transmitting the optical signals. The locking member is lockable to the contact support, and the line is fastenable to the plug connector using the locking member in a locked state.

A connector assembly includes: a housing having a plurality of accommodating grooves into which a plurality of terminals are insertable, respectively, and having an insertion space recessed in a first direction intersecting a second direction in which the accommodating grooves extend, the plurality of accommodating grooves being formed in one surface of the housing; a terminal position assurance (TPA) mechanism inserted into the insertion space of the housing in the first direction, having a plurality of through-holes extending parallel to the plurality of accommodating grooves, and inhibiting the terminals inserted into the through-holes from being separated; joint terminals extending from an inside of the housing to the accommodating grooves, and electrically connected to the terminals inserted into the accommodating grooves; and a noise filter fixed to the housing or the TPA mechanism, and enclosing the accommodating grooves of the housing, the through-holes of the TPA mechanism, or the joint terminals.
