A connector is such that a first housing (10) is provided with a slider (21) formed with two cam grooves (24), a second housing (30) is formed with two cam followers (36) and contact edges (27) are formed at entrances (24E) of the cam grooves (24). An outer peripheral surface of the cam follower (36) has a substantially semicircular surface (41) on a rear side in an entering direction into the cam groove (24). A receiving surface (44) extending in the same direction as the entering direction into the cam groove (24) from an end part of the substantially semicircular surface (41) facing the contact edge part (27) is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the cam follower (36), and at a right angle or at an angle smaller than a right angle to a sliding direction of the slider (21).

Certain aspects relate to systems and techniques for flexibly and movably mounting a charge port in front-facing portions of an electric vehicle. When not in use the charge port can be concealed by the body of the vehicle. In a pre-charging or charging mode the charge port can be automatically moved to a charging position where it is exposed through the vehicle body and thus available for coupling with a charging connector at a charging station. Further, the charge port can be flexibly mounted to the vehicle so as to absorb impact forces in one or more directions. The charge port can include oscillation dampening mechanisms for electrical cables coupled to the charge port.

There is provided a connector in which a plug is put to a socket in any rotational direction around an axis and is guided to a normal position smoothly hereby providing proper connection with a simple structure.

On opposite surfaces of the plug and the socket, there are provided a tilted cam surface and a cam follower with which the plug and the socket are slidably contacted to each other, rotated and positioned in a rotational direction around the axis when the plug is fitted onto the socket axially. At the center of one of the opposite surface of the plug and the socket, a pin-receiving hole is formed, and a center pin at the center of the other fits into the pin-receiving hole before the tilted cam surface comes in contact with the cam follower.

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 header power connector includes a header housing assembly including an outer housing having an outer wall forming a cavity configured to receive upper and lower busbars. The header housing assembly includes an inner housing received in the cavity having a terminal channel holding a terminal assembly including a plurality of terminals arranged in a terminal stack. Each terminal includes upper and lower sockets at upper and lower mating ends configured to receive the upper and lower busbars, respectively. The header power connector includes a choke received in the cavity having a chock body with an opening therethrough receiving the terminal assembly. The header power connector includes a choke positioner in the cavity interfacing with the choke to position the choke relative to the outer housing.

An electrical connector assembly includes a connector housing configured to receive multiple terminals and a terminal header arranged within the housing. The terminal header comprises a first region with a first pitch between terminals and a second region with a second pitch, the first pitch being larger than the second pitch. The assembly further includes first and second terminal position assurance (TPA) members mounted to the connector housing and movable relative to the housing between pre-lock and final lock positions. The first TPA member is associated with the first region of the terminal header, while the second TPA member is associated with the second region. This configuration enables secure positioning and locking of terminals with differing pitches within the connector housing.

A connector includes a housing having a top wall and a bottom wall, a pair of side walls, and a front opening and a rear wall. Two rows of terminals having soldering ends extend backward from the rear wall of the housing. The connector includes two pressing plates including an upper pressing plate disposed on an upper side of the soldering ends of the upper row of terminals and a lower pressing plate disposed on a lower side of the soldering ends of the lower row of terminals. The two pressing plates slide from a pre-assembly position in which the soldering ends of the terminals are not pressed to a final assembly position in which the soldering ends of the terminals are pressed on the circuit board by the pushing of the circuit board.

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.
