A connector backshell assembly includes a module hood sealable against a connection port having a first connector, a harness hood configured to house a second connector mateable with the first connector, a backshell configured to provide strain relief to a wire harness extending from the second connector and securable on the harness hood after the second connector is housed within the harness hood, and a latch assembly having a latch handle moveable from a first position into a second position to move the harness hood into sealing engagement with the module hood.

An electrical connector system for use with independently heated hoses includes a first electrical connector, a second electrical connector, a third electrical connector, and a fourth electrical connector. The first electrical connector includes a first key that mates with a second key of the second electrical connector. The third electrical connector includes a third key that mates with a fourth key of the fourth electrical connector. The first and second keys differ from the third and fourth keys, ensuring the electrical connectors are correctly connected.

The sealing element of the waterproof connector has a shape in which a family seal portion that waterproofs the peripheries of electric wires which are sandwiched between an inner housing and an outer housing 40, and which are not illustrated, and a seal ring portion that performs waterproofing between the seal ring portion and a mating housing are integrated. The standing board portions of the inner housing penetrate the long openings of the sealing element, and the portion to be caught of the outer housing is caught by catch protrusion portions that are formed in upper portions of the standing board portions and each have a hook shape, whereby the inner housing and the outer housing are assembled in a state in which the family seal portion of the sealing element is sandwiched between the inner housing and the outer housing. The mating housing comes into contact with the third waterproof portion of the sealing element, which acts as the seal ring portion.

A novel busbar, suitable for low-power applications, features a u-shaped extension having a male terminal that fits into and establishes electrical connection with a standard female terminal. The housing of an electrical box including the busbar is modified to receive the female terminal in such a way that Ingress Protection ratings of IP67 and IP69K are maintained within the electrical box. The busbar is not riveted to a thicker busbar terminating with a stud and lug nut, as in legacy configurations, thus being simpler and cheaper to manufacture. The female terminal, once connected to the busbar, is removable by inserting a tool into a dedicated opening within the housing.

An adaptor is provided for connecting an electrical cable with an electrical connector. The adaptor includes a housing and an insert which are coaxially arranged and connected for free rotation relative to each other. The outer surface of the insert contains an annular recess and at least one pin is arranged on an inner surface of the housing. When a portion of the insert including the recess is arranged within a portion of the housing, the pin is inserted into the recess to connect the insert with the housing while permitting rotation therebetween. The free rotation prevent torque from being transmitted to an electrical cable connected with the insert.

A connector used in underwater environments includes a male connector with a sensing terminal and two power terminals, a female connector with a sensing terminal block and two power terminal blocks, and an elastic gasket set between the male connector and the female connector. When the male connector and the female connector are plugged into each other, and the male and female connectors squeeze the elastic gasket to form a large amount of deformation, the sensing terminal and the sensing terminal block are in contact with each other. When the male and female connectors squeeze the elastic gasket to form a small deformation state, the sensing terminal and the sensing terminal block are separated from each other, and the power terminals and the power terminal blocks are in contact with each other, thereby forming a waterproof protection mechanism.

A connector unit comprises: a connector that has terminals connected to terminal parts of electric wires, and a housing that holds the terminals; and a cylindrical connector cover that is formed from an elastic material and that covers the housing. The connector cover has an annular seal part provided at a position at which it is possible to contact a mating connector-side surface in a fitted state with the mating connector.

A bicycle equipment is provided, including an electric power supply unit electrically connected to a first electric connector; a first component; a second component with an electrically powered device and a second connector. A through hole is provided in the first or second component. An electric connector assembly includes a third connector matching the first connector and permanently connected to the first component at a seat for the electric power supply unit; a fourth connector matching the second connector; and an electric cable extending between the third connector and the fourth connector. The through hole, the third connector and the fourth connector are sized such that the fourth connector may pass, in at least one orientation thereof, in the through hole and the third connector may not pass in the through hole.

The present invention relates to a boot and connector assembly. The boot has a through hole passing therethrough and a boot body enclosing the through hole, the boot body comprising: a neck sealing portion presenting a substantially cylindrical shape, wherein the neck sealing portion has an inner diameter maintained substantially constant; a body portion located at the proximal side of the neck sealing portion and presenting a generally cylindrical shape, wherein the body portion has an inner diameter and an outer diameter that are both greater than the inner diameter and the outer diameter of the neck sealing portion; and a gap passing portion connecting the neck sealing portion to the body portion and having a substantially frustoconical shape, wherein the gap passing portion has an inner diameter gradually increasing from the inner diameter of the neck sealing portion to the inner diameter of the body portion, and an outer diameter gradually increasing from the outer diameter of the neck sealing portion to the outer diameter of the body portion. The boot of the present disclosure effectively solves the problem that the boot interferes with other components so that the boot is unable to extend to the antenna panel when the mounting space is small, and also has the advantages of simple to manufacture, convenient to mount and high efficiency.

A strain relief system for a cable inserted within has a main housing with an opening and a series of ramp features and a series of serrations on an interior surface. The system also has a rotating collar with an opening in line with the opening of the main housing. The rotating collar having a series of follower features configured to be inserted into the opening of the main housing such that when the rotating collar is rotated relative to the main housing, the follower features engage the ramp features to compress the cable inserted with the strain relief system. The rotating collar also having at least one ratcheting tab configured to engage the series of serrations of the main housing such has to provide a ratcheting function between the rotating collar and the outer housing.
