A connector assembly comprises a first connector including a first connector body, and a shaft connected to the first connector body. A lever is rotatably connected to the shaft and is selectively fixable to the first connector body in a caught state. A second connector of the assembly includes a second connector body insertable into the first connector body, a releasing element defined on the second connector body for releasing the lever from the caught state, and a biasing element defined on the second connector body for rotating the lever after being released from the caught state.

A connector with a grommet includes a housing, a grommet, and a sensing member. A panel hooking portion, a flange, and a locking projection are formed on an outside of the housing. The sensing member includes a part received in a receiving part of the grommet and senses a locked state of the locking projection. The housing is provided with a flexible arm. The flexible arm is provided with the locking projection. The sensing member moves between the locking surface of the locking projection and a wall of the receiving part. When the locking projection is locked to the panel, the sensing member is pushed out by the panel in an anti-locking direction by a thickness of the panel.

A connector is provided with a housing 10, a grommet 40 arranged to cover an outer periphery of the housing 10, and a grommet cover 60 arranged to cover an outer periphery of the grommet 40. The grommet cover 60 includes a tip portion 74 on one end on an opening side. The housing 10 includes a restricting portion 14, 14E. The restricting portion 14, 14E includes a recess 15, 15E inside which the tip portion 74 of the grommet cover 60 is to be arranged. The recess 15, 15E of the restricting portion 14, 14E includes a restricting body 19 arranged to face an outer side of the tip portion 74 of the grommet cover 60.

A terminal fastening structure of a connector for an electric vehicle includes a pair of tab terminals electrically connected to an electrical wire connector, a plug inner housing having an opening at a first end into which the tab terminals are inserted, and a pair of terminal holders fastened to the plug inner housing and fixing the tab terminals to the plug inner housing.

A lever-type connector (10) includes wires (24), a housing (14), a cover (32), a lever (16) and a binding band (44). The lever (16) is mounted on the housing (14) for rotation between connection start and connection end positions. The cover (32) includes a wire draw-out portion (34) for bending the wires (24) pulled from the housing (14) and a wire fixing portion (36) for fixing the wires (24) to the wire draw-out portion (34). The wire fixing portion (36) includes a first side wall (38) on an inner side, a second side wall (40) on an outer side and a bottom wall (42) between the first and second side walls (38, 40). Contact of the lever (16) with the second side wall (40) stops rotation at the connection start position. The bottom wall (42) includes two band insertion holes (46) through which the binding band (44) is inserted.

A connector configured to be fitted with a mating connector includes a main housing, a sub-housing supported on the main housing to be slidable in a fitting direction with respect to the main housing in which the connector is fitted with the mating connector, and an operating member pivotably and slidably supported on the main housing. The main housing moves closer to the mating connector when the operating member is pivoted from a first posture to a second posture. The sub-housing moves in the fitting direction when the operating member slides from the second posture in a direction different from the fitting direction. The sub-housing has an erroneous fitting prevention part abutting against the mating connector in a state of incomplete fitting of the connector with the mating connector.

A watercraft and a waterproof electronics container are provided. The watercraft includes a flotation portion. A strut is removably affixed to a portion of the watercraft. A first connector portion is mounted to the upper end of the strut. A waterproof electronics container includes a second connector portion is disposed such that the second connector forms at least one electrically conductive pathway with the first connector portion when both are affixed to the watercraft. The waterproof electronics container is removably affixed to the said watercraft. In one aspect, the waterproof electronics container houses a power source capable of powering an electric motor that propels the watercraft.

A connector device comprises a connector and a mating connector. The connector comprises a housing and a slider having a second regulated portion. The mating connector comprises a mating housing having a second regulation portion. The connector is movable between an open position and a closed position. The slider is held by the housing to be movable between a first position and a second position. When the connector is moved to a predetermined position together with the slider which is located at the second position upon a movement of the connector from the closed position toward the open position, the second regulated portion is brought into abutment with the second regulation portion, and a movement of the connector toward the open position beyond the predetermined position is regulated. When the slider is moved to the first position, the connector is movable to the open position.

A connector assembly enables electrically safe disconnection and separation because it is possible to secure an interval between the point of time of separation of interlock terminals and the point of time of separation of power terminals when connectors are separated. The connector assembly can implement two steps of cutting power after restricting a lever in a locked state and then completely disconnecting connectors by additionally operating the lever by including an intermediate locking mechanism that restricts the lever for disconnecting connectors in a state in which interlock terminals of two connectors are separated from each other but power terminals of the two connectors are in contact with each other to disconnect and separate female and male connectors.
