An electrical cable connecting system includes a modular electrical or electronic wiring device assembly, in which an electrical or electronic wiring device and a connector may be electrically coupled via pig-tail jumper electrical wires. The connector may be coupled to cable electrical wires fitted with a cable protector to protect the electrical wire conductors therein. The connector may include internal electrical terminals for electrically coupling building electrical cable wires with corresponding jumper electrical wires. The connector may be mechanically and electrically coupled to and directly terminate one or more building electrical cables, which may provide power to or from one or more electrical or electronic wiring devices by establishing an electrical pathway from a source of electrical power, through the building electrical cable wires, the connector, the pig-tail jumper electrical wires and an electrical or electronic wiring device.

A housing that can be used for a power module in a power system is disclosed. The housing includes features to improve the insulating properties and to reduce or eliminate a mechanical stress on a housing that could crack or break a substrate contained within the housing. The insulating properties are improved by protrusions that surround apertures for press-fit pins. Each protrusion can increase a creepage for the housing by extending the surface of the housing along a press-fit pin. The mechanical stress is reduced by a mounting flange that includes a wedge surface and a flexible structure that react to a force applied when the mounting flange is fastened to a surface by a fastener.

An electronic device includes: a housing which has two side walls which are spaced apart from one another along an apposition direction and form an accommodation space between them; a printed circuit board which is insertable into the accommodating space of the housing along an insertion direction pointing transversely to the apposition direction and, in a mounting position, is accommodated in the accommodating space in a position perpendicular to the apposition direction and has a side edge extending along the insertion direction; and at least one attachment part which has at least one engagement receptacle by which the at least one attachment part is attachable to the side edge of the printed circuit board and, in an attached position, is connected to the printed circuit board.

The present application relates to a terminal retainer, a connector housing, connector, and connector assembly. The terminal retainer has a tubular retaining part and the tubular retaining part comprises a tube wall and a cavity enclosed by the tube wall; the tubular retaining part axially extends a specified length; the tube wall is provided with a locking mechanism and the locking mechanism comprises an initial locking mechanism and a final locking mechanism which are respectively fitted with a mating mechanism to lock the terminal retainer in an initial locking position and a final locking position, respectively; the tube wall is further provided with an abutment mechanism, and the abutment mechanism is configured to abut against a snap-fit mechanism located in the cavity when the terminal retainer is in the final locking position so that the snap-fit mechanism can be retained in a snap-fit position. The terminal retainer may be preassembled with a connector housing to avoid scattering and loss of parts and to be ready for use.

A method assembles a plug on a multi-core sheathed cable which extends in a longitudinal direction and has multiple wires surrounded by a cable sheath. A sealing element made of a sealing material is applied to the multiple wires. The sealing element has individual passages formed through the sealing material for the wires. Subsequently, the wires are assembled in a plug housing, wherein the plug housing has an opening at a rear end thereof, and the sealing element is inserted into the opening and shifted preferably along the wires such that the sealing element sits in the opening in a sealing manner. A sealing coating is then applied, which extends from the rear end of the plug housing to the cable sheath.
