An assembled electrical connector has a base having a terminal stage formed on a top thereof, an upper cap, a first conductive terminal mounted in a center of the terminal stage, and a second conductive terminal externally assembled on the base. The second conductive terminal is a ring sheet, surrounds the terminal stage, and is electrically isolated from the first conductive terminal via the terminal stage. The upper cap is tubular and is connected on the top of the base. The second conductive terminal abuts against an internal surface of the upper cap. Because the second conductive terminal is externally assembled on the terminal stage of the base and is not combined with the base via insert molding, the second conductive terminal does not need to use a machining product.

A connector includes a contact connected to a flexible conductor, a housing that is attached to a flexible substrate and retains the contact, and a protection sheet that is constituted of an insulating film having a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer formed on one surface thereof and is disposed between the housing and the flexible substrate such that the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer faces the flexible substrate, the protection sheet being disposed so as to cover at least a front surface part of the flexible substrate on which the flexible conductor is formed, and is adhered to the flexible substrate with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, the housing having a flat surface facing the flexible substrate, an adhesive layer bonding the housing to the protection sheet being disposed between the flat surface and the protection sheet.

The application deals with a male or female connector for automotive applications with at least one signal contact having an elongated male pin or a female signal contact portion; wherein a section of the signal contact is covered by a molded part that is manufactured by overmolding the section of the signal contact. The application further deals with a method for producing a male or female connector for automotive applications; including the steps of providing at least one signal contact having an elongated pin or a female signal contact portion; and overmolding a section of the at least one signal contact.

A plug connector according to an embodiment includes: a connector main body which includes one pair of first sidewalls extended in a first direction and facing each other, and one pair of second sidewalls extended in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and facing each other; one pair of fitting nails which are coupled to the connector main body; and a plurality of plug terminals which are coupled to the one pair of second sidewalls, wherein each of the one pair of fitting nails includes: an upper surface which is in contact with an upper end of the first sidewall; a central reinforcement portion which is curved downward from the upper surface to come into contact with at least a portion of an outer surface of the first sidewall; and one pair of lateral reinforcement portions which are extended from both ends of the upper surface in the second direction to come into contact with an upper end of the second sidewall, wherein the central reinforcement portion includes a central solder portion which is extended downward from a lower end of the central reinforcement portion and encloses at least a portion of a lower surface of the first sidewall, wherein each of the one pair of lateral reinforcement portions includes: a first outer wall terminal which is extended downward; a second outer wall terminal which is spaced apart from the first outer wall terminal in the second direction and is extended downward; and a first inner wall terminal which is spaced inward from the second outer wall terminal and is extended downward, wherein each of the one pair of lateral reinforcement portions includes a lateral solder portion which is extended downward from at least one of the first and second outer wall terminals and encloses at least a portion of a lower surface of the second sidewall.

A connector frame for a connector assembly for an electric connection of a device in a connector-to-counter-connector configuration, including: at least one connector frame opening, in which the connector frame opening is configured to receive at least one terminal connector frame and/or at least one terminal connector by a form-fit and/or force-fit connection.

A plug connector for flexible conductor films having film-insulated conductors, includes a plug connector housing in which at least one plug contact element is arranged, and a connection region in which blades electrically conductively connected to the at least one plug contact element penetrate and fix at least one film-insulated conductor and produce an electrical contact. The plug connector housing includes two housing parts which can be pushed into one another, of which the first housing part supports the blades and the at least one plug contact element electrically conductively connected thereto, and the second housing part receives and supports the flexible conductor film and has the at least one blade receptacle which is adapted to the blades and whose boundary surfaces are designed such that the at least a part of the blades is bent towards the film-insulated conductor when the two housing parts are pushed into one another.

Provided is a connector including: a body forming component into which an upper contact group and a lower contact group are press-fitted forward in a fitting direction; and an upper contact insert component formed integrally with the upper contact group through insert molding. The upper contact insert component is arranged behind the lower contact group.

A substrate protection structure during inner housing assembling includes an outer housing, a substrate, an inner housing that is disposed with the substrate and is disposed in the outer housing by moving in a predetermined direction relative to the outer housing together with the substrate, and a first projecting portion that is disposed to the inner housing, and projects further on a rear side than the substrate in the predetermined direction when the inner housing is disposed in the outer housing.

A male terminal 40 to be accommodated into a cavity 12 of a housing 11 includes a plate-like tab 49 formed in a front end part, and a box portion 41 in the form of a rectangular tube connected to a rear part of the tab 49 and open rearward. A first projection 42 projecting in a thickness direction of the tab 49 is formed on one plate surface of the tab 49, and press-fit to an inner wall of the cavity 12 of the housing 11 from behind.

A substrate protection structure during inner housing assembling includes an outer housing, a substrate, an inner housing that is disposed with the substrate and is disposed in the outer housing by moving in a predetermined direction relative to the outer housing together with the substrate, and a first projecting portion that is disposed to the inner housing, and projects further on a rear side than the substrate in the predetermined direction when the inner housing is disposed in the outer housing.
