A connection assembly for connection to an audio device includes a connector module including a connector configured for electronic connection to a mating connector of the audio device and a releasable latch configured for retaining the connector module to the audio device, an actuator engageable with the connector module and being moveable to release the latch for removal of the connector module from the audio device, and locking structure configured to selectively resist movement of the actuator to release the latch.

A contact assembly for a connector housing includes an adapter element and a contact element. The adapter element has a sleeve with a lead-through opening extending in an axial direction of the sleeve and with a threaded bore extending perpendicularly to the lead-through opening through the sleeve. The contact element is adapted to be inserted into the lead-through opening and latched to the sleeve. The contact element may exhibit varying types of a cable connection section and/or a contact section. The adapter element is receivable within the connector housing and may accept the contact element regardless of the type of cable connection section and/or contact section.

A power tool including a housing that has a battery pack receiving portion configured to receive an interface of a battery pack, device contacts extending from the housing and configured to mechanically and electrically engage with the battery pack, and a latching mechanism supported by the housing and including an actuator and a latch member configured to selectively engage the interface of the battery pack. The actuator is pivotable to operatively pivot the latch member.

A strap connector includes an insulating body, a conductive element, a locking member, a pressing block, and a strap connected with the pressing block. The locking member includes a main body portion and a locking elastic arm. The main body portion includes a top plate. The locking elastic arm extends from the top plate and is used for locking with a mating connector. The pressing block is slidable backwardly under the pulling of the strap, so that the pressing block presses the top plate downwardly, and then the locking elastic arm moves downwardly to realize unlocking. When the unlocking method disclosed in the present disclosure is performed, it is only necessary to ensure that the pressing block slides over the top plate, which improves the reliability of unlocking.

Various embodiments of the teachings herein include a connector assembly comprising: a housing; a connector housing integrally formed as part of the housing; an aperture integrally formed as part of the connector housing; a wire assembly including a wire connector having a housing portion located in the aperture, the wire connector connected to the connector housing via a first connection; and a locking element connected to the connector housing via a second connection. The first connection prevents the wire connector from becoming detached from the connector housing and the second connection prevents the locking element from becoming detached from the connector housing.

An apparatus for mounting an object having one or more electrical contacts within a vehicle, the object. The apparatus comprises a base configured to receive the object, the base comprising a mounting surface and a docking surface. A docking connector is coupled to the docking surface and is configured to electrically connect with the one or more electrical contacts of the object. The docking connector is movable relative to the docking surface between a first position and a second position. When the docking connector is electrically connected with the one or more electrical contacts of the object, a second main surface of the object is positioned obliquely relative to the mounting surface in the first position of the docking connector and the second main surface of the object is aligned in contact with the mounting surface in the second position of the docking connector.

Introduced is a connector assembly in which a CPA member, which assists in fastening a first connector and a second connector, securely connects the first connector and the second connector, and prevents a short circuit of an electrical signal, may be automatically inserted.

A connector and a connector assembly are provided. The connector includes a housing and a locking/unlocking mechanism arranged on the housing that is configured to lock and unlock a connection between the connector and a mating connector. The locking/unlocking mechanism includes a cantilever structure arranged on a top surface of the housing and having a fixed end and a free end, with a pressing portion for unlocking being located adjacent to the free end and an unlocking prevention mechanism including a protection beam and a pair of protection walls. The protection beam spans over the cantilever. The pair of protection walls are arranged on both sides of the pressing portion of the cantilever. Each protection wall is provided with a first groove at a location close to the protection beam.

A stretching strap unlock connector includes a socket and a plug. The socket includes a socket case including a fixing latch, and the fixing latch has a fixing hole. The plug includes a plug case, a strap and an upper cover. The plug case includes a fixing component configured to buckle the fixing hole and has a unlock groove and a fixing groove. The strap is moveably configured on the plug case and includes a unlock structure configured in the unlock groove. The upper cover includes an engaged structure buckled in the fixing groove. When the strap is pulled, the unlock structure is detached from the unlock groove for lifting the fixing latch to detach the fixing component from the fixing hole, and the engaged structure ensures that the upper cover not be detached from the plug case.

A first electrical connector, a second electrical connector and an electrical connector assembly are provided. The first electrical connector includes: a first connector housing including a main body, a locking mechanism which extend forwardly from an upper surface of the main body and a plurality of mating posts which extend forwardly a front surface of the main body, each mating post is interiorly formed with a first terminal receiving cavity which penetrates in a front-rear direction, a first prevent mis-insertion protruding rib protrudes from a middle portion of at least one of the mating posts, and a second prevent mis-insertion protruding rib protrudes from a side edge of at least one of the mating posts; and a plurality of first conductive terminals which are correspondingly inserted into mating posts, each first conductive terminal comprises a first mating portion which is received in the corresponding first terminal receiving cavity and a first tail portion which is positioned behind the first mating portion. It facilitates correct mating between the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector.
