It is aimed to enable a short circuit in a retainer insertion hole to be avoided. Short-circuit preventing walls (18) configured to partition between cavities (11) adjacent in an arrangement direction are provided in a retainer insertion hole (15). A retainer (13) is provided with a plurality of frame-like portions (20) along the arrangement direction of the respective cavities (11). Each frame-like portion (20) is formed to be able to communicate with the corresponding cavity (11). Escaping grooves (32) are formed along a mounting direction of the retainer (13) between the frame-like portions (20) adjacent in the arrangement direction. Escaping grooves (32) are open on front end parts in the mounting direction of the retainer (13) such that the retainer (13) is mountable into the retainer insertion hole (15) while avoiding interference with the short circuit preventing walls (18).

A connector composing one of two wire-to-wire connectors is provided. The connector includes a cylindrical outer housing having an insertion opening on one end for inserting the other connector of the two wire-to-wire connectors. The connector further includes an inner housing inserted into the outer housing via an assembly opening on the other end of the outer housing. The connector further includes a retainer inserted into the inner housing via a window hole provided in the cylindrical wall portion of the outer housing for locking a terminal in a detachment-preventing manner on the basis of a push-in operation after a wire with the terminal has been inserted into the terminal holding hole in the inner housing. The retainer enters first and second temporary locking states.

A joint connector includes a housing having a bus bar formed therein, having a plurality of accommodating holes in which a plurality of terminals connected to the bus bar are individually accommodated, and having insertion openings in communication with the plurality of accommodating holes, and a cover coupled to an outer surface of the housing and having a holder insertedly coupled to the insertion openings.

A hybrid socket connector is disclosed in this invention. The hybrid socket connector includes a receptacle housing having a signal receptacle part and a power receptacle part, a row of signal terminal assemblies mounted on the signal receptacle part, a row of power terminals mounted on the power receptacle part, and at least one tie bar mounted on the power receptacle part to retain these power terminals. Each signal port is generally Z-shaped. Each signal terminal has a first elastic arm and a second elastic arm located below the first elastic arm. The first and second elastic arms are staggered along a left-right direction. The hybrid socket connector of the invention can integrate the power supply with the signal transmission to ensure the safety of its structure and improve the electrical performance thereof.

A connector C to be mounted on a case of a device includes a coated wire 10 formed such that a core 11 is coated with an insulation coating 12, a terminal fitting 20 to be fit and connected to a mating terminal, a flexible conductor 15 interposed between the terminal fitting 20 and an end of the coated wire 10, and a housing 30 made of synthetic resin and accommodating the terminal fitting 20 together with the flexible conductor 15. The core 11 of the coated wire 10 is provided with a core fixing portion 25 integrated with the core 11 and the core fixing portion 25 is embedded in the housing 30 by molding.

An electrical connector including: a terminal body; an insulator accommodated within a receptacle of the terminal body, the insulator having at least one cavity adapted for holding a terminal connected to a wire of a cable; a metal ferrule accommodated within the receptacle of the terminal body; wherein the metal ferrule has a crimp portion adapted to be crimped onto the cable; wherein the metal ferrule is form-fittingly connected to the terminal body; and wherein the metal ferrule has a sleeve like holding portion centering the ferrule within the receptacle.

A low profile high voltage connector, having a minimal height and meeting high voltage requirements and a method of assembling thereof, includes a male housing and a female housing, and further includes a terminal position assurance (TPA) device and a connector position assurance (CPA) device, the TPA device ensuring that a terminal, housed within the female housing, provides a secondary lock, so as to ensure that the terminal is secured or locked within the female housing. The CPA device assures that the male and female housings remain locked and inseparable from each other. The terminal is housed within the female housing in such a way as to have the female housing, engaged within the male housing, to meet a minimal height requirement. Each of the TPA device and the CPA device functions in a pre-lock position or a full-lock position when engaging with the low profile high voltage connector. The method also improves clearance and creepage in the low profile high voltage connector by allowing the clearance or electrical path to extend from at least an electrical wire or cable to the female housing.

A cable connector assembly (100) comprises an insulative housing having a receiving space (18) extending along a front-to-back direction, and a printed circuit board module (2) received in the receiving space of the insulative housing. The printed circuit board module defines a protruded ridge (24) offset to one side thereof, the protruded ridge extending along a vertical direction, and a groove (185) is defined in the receiving space for accommodating the protruded ridge.

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 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.
