An electrical connector having a first housing and a second housing. The first housing have a first mating face and a first cable receiving face with at least one first terminal receiving cavity which extends from the first cable receiving face to the first mating face. The second housing has a second mating face and a second cable receiving face with at least one second terminal receiving cavity which extends from the second cable receiving face to the second mating face. The second housing is spaced from the first housing. A flexible joining member extends from the first housing to the second housing. The flexible joining member is configured to allow the first housing to move independently of the second housing as the electrical connector is mounted to an electrical component. The first housing can be mated independently to the electrical component from the second housing.

A connector 10 is provided with a flexible wire 20, a terminal 30 to be connected to the wire 20, and a housing 40 for accommodating the wire 20 and the terminal 30. The housing 40 includes a housing body 50 for accommodating the wire 20 and a holder 70 for accommodating and holding the terminal 30. The holder 70 is configured to be swingable in a plane direction together with the terminal 30 with respect to the housing body 50 by being attached to the housing body 50 with a play between the housing body 50 and the holder 70. A gap for allowing the wire 20 to be bent, following a swinging motion of the terminal 30, is provided between the housing body 50 and the wire 20.

A connector assembly includes an outer conductive body having a first end configured to mate with a corresponding electrical connector, and a conductive center contact arranged within the outer conductive body. The center contact comprises a first end configured to mate with the corresponding electrical connector and a second end electrically connecting with a first electrical contact of a circuit board. An outer contact is slidably attached to a second end of the outer conductive body and electrically connects with a second electrical contact of the circuit board. An elastic element is provided for biasing the outer contact in a direction away from the outer conductive body and toward the circuit board.

Provided is a connector module that is highly durable and that also allows easy position alignment with a connection target instrument while maintaining high shielding performance. The connector module includes a connector case and a connector inserted in the connector case. The connector includes a contact, a holder, a conductive tubular shell, a housing and a conductive shield case. The shield case includes a first member having an elastic portion and a second member in the form of a bottomed tube. The first member forms an elastic piece contactable with the second member. Fixing of the connector case to a main body case via a fastener member causes, in the connector, elastic deformation of the elastic piece, resulting in decrease in a gap between the first member and the second member, consequently in establishment of electrical connection between the first member and the second member.

Self-aligning mounting systems and methods for an electrical connectors and controllers of an electrified vehicle include a dock member configured to be fixedly attached to a frame of the electrified vehicle and to at least temporarily secure the electrical controller therein and at least one floating electrical connector floatably mateable with the dock member such that the floating electrical connector is movable by a tolerance distance amount along each of at least first and second perpendicular axes that are each parallel to the base portion of the dock member, and configured to, during securement of the electrical controller within the dock member along a third axis perpendicular to the first and second axes, electrically connect a first connection portion of the floating electrical connector to a corresponding other electrical connector, such as an inline electrical connector or an electrical connector in a bottom surface of the electrical controller housing.

A self-aligning electrical connector system for data and/or energy transmission includes first and second connector parts and a support frame. The first connector part includes positioning pins, flat elements, and a ball socket positioned between the flat elements.
