A diagnostic port connector for a vehicle that includes a locking mechanism is disclosed. The system can comprise a connector body, such as a male OBD-II connector. The connector can include a plurality of connector pins, with the pins capable of passing signals and messages from the vehicle's on board diagnostic system to a device in electrical communication with the connector. The connector can also include a connection retention component. The connection retention component can be configured to maintain a connection between male connectors and female connection ports by interfering with a protruding portion of the female connection port.

An electrical connector includes an insulating body, a locking member, a pivot rod and an unlocking device. The insulating body defines an installation space. The locking member is at least partially installed in the installation space. The locking member includes a locking arm and a force-receiving portion. The locking arm includes a hook portion configured to be locked with a mating connector. The pivot rod is installed and fixed on the insulating body, and connected with the locking member. The unlocking device is configured to apply a force directly or indirectly to the force-receiving portion, so that the locking arm rotates around the pivot rod to realize unlocking with the mating connector.

A cover has a back wall facing the rear surface of a housing and a pair of facing walls projecting from the back wall and to be held on the housing. A lever is arranged rotatably along the outer surface of either one of the pair of facing walls. The pair of facing walls include, on outer surface sides, movement restricting portions arcuately extending in a rotating direction of the lever and capable of abutting on a surface of a detecting member on a detection position side before the housing and a mating housing are properly connected. The respective movement restricting portions on the outer surface sides of the both facing walls are point-symmetrically shaped with respect to a center position of the cover when the cover is viewed from behind.

A booster lever unit includes a first lever pivotably supported by an object via a first pivotal shaft, a second lever pivotably supported by the object via a second pivotal shaft, and a linkage member that links the first lever to the second lever. The pivotal plane of the first lever is parallel to the pivotal plane of the second lever. The first lever has one end provided with an operation section, and another end provided with the first pivotal shaft, and the first lever further includes a first linker, the first linker being provided between the operation section and the first pivotal shaft and linked to the linkage member. The second lever has one end provided with an action section, and another end provided with a second linker linked to the linkage member, and the second pivotal shaft is provided between the action section and the second linker.

A connector includes a housing having a cavity extending in a front-rear direction, a terminal fitting configured to be accommodated in the cavity, and a retainer movable toward one side in a vertical direction from a partial locking position to a full locking position relative to the housing. The retainer includes at least one insertion portion through which the terminal fitting is insertable, and allows passage of the terminal fitting through the at least one insertion portion at the partial locking position, and restricts dislodgement of the terminal fitting from the cavity at the full locking position. The terminal fitting has a pressing portion formed thereon. The at least one insertion portion includes at least one pressed insertion portion configured to be pressed toward the one side in the vertical direction by the pressing portion at the partial locking position.

A connector includes a housing having a mating opening receiving a mating connector and a sliding member attached to the housing. The sliding member is slidable within the housing along a direction of mating with the mating connector. The sliding member is located in the housing in an initial position and in an unmated state up to completion of mating of the housing and the mating connector.

An electrical assembly may include a first housing unit, a second housing unit, and a locking member. The first housing unit may include a guide portion. The second housing unit may be releasably connectable to the first housing unit. The locking member may be configured to slidably engage the guide portion. The locking member may be adjustable relative to the first housing unit and the second housing unit to an unlocked position and a locked position. When the locking member is in the unlocked position, the second housing unit may be removable from the first housing unit. When the locking member is in the locked position, the second housing unit may be secured to the first housing unit via the locking member.

A module connector arrangement for a battery module having a cell stack which includes a plurality of battery cells arranged next to one another in a stacking direction (x), the module connector arrangement having an end plate for delimiting the end of the cell stack in the stacking direction (x), and the end plate includes an insertion opening and a receiving space accessible from outside the end plate via the insertion opening for receiving two busbar ends of a first and a second busbar to be electrically contacted over a flat surface in a receiving region of the receiving space. In particular, the module connector arrangement includes a clamping device adjacent to the receiving region and operable from outside the end plate for clampingly fastening the busbar ends received in the receiving region.
