A power cord slide connector coupling includes a power cord, a low-profile connector coupled with the power cord, a receptacle including a housing with a concave opening sized to receive the low-profile connector in an insert direction, and a plug disposed in the receptacle and configured to electrically engage the low-profile connector. The plug includes contact members that are positioned such that with the low-profile connector in the concave opening, the plug engages the low-profile connector by displacing the low profile connector in a connect direction, perpendicular to the insert direction.

A plug connector includes: an insulative housing having a front mating end and a rear terminating end; a conductive module received in the insulative housing and exposed to the front mating end; a rod mounted to the insulative housing; a latch mounted to the insulative housing, the latch including a securing portion, a latching portion movable between a latched position and a released position, and an operating portion operable by the rod to move the latching portion to the released position; and a pulling tab connected to the rod, wherein the insulative housing includes a pair of grooves and the rod is slidable in the pair of grooves by the pulling tab to operate the operating portion of the latch to move the latching portion to the released position.

A plug connector includes a housing, a built-in circuit board partially located in the housing, and a cable electrically connected to the built-in circuit board. The housing includes a mating surface. The built-in circuit board includes a tongue plate and a number of conductive pads provided on the tongue plate. The housing includes an extension plate extending along a mating direction of the plug connector. The tongue plate and the extension plate protrude beyond the mating surface along the mating direction. The extension plate further protrudes beyond the tongue plate along the mating direction. Two lateral sides of the plug connector also respectively include slots extending through the mating surface. As a result, the insertion reliability of the plug connector of the present disclosure is improved.

A plug connector includes a housing, a built-in circuit board, a cable, two locking arms, a driving member, and a pull strap connected to the driving member. Each locking arm includes a locking protrusion, an abutting portion and a pivot portion. The driving member includes two driving arms. Each driving arm includes a protruding portion to pull the abutting portion. The locking arm is rotatable around the pivot part when the pull strap is pulled by an external force. At the same time, the locking protrusions can move along a thickness direction from a locked position to an unlocked position. The plug connector also includes two return springs for returning the locking arms after the external force is removed. As a result, the reliability of the plug connector of the present disclosure is improved.

A connector includes a housing, a handle, and an arm member. Two sides of the housing are provided with guiding grooves extending in a forward-backward direction. An upper surface of the housing has at least two protrusions. The arm member is connected to the handle. The arm member includes two guiding arms, a connecting wall, and two elastic rods. The guiding arms are respectively movably embedded in the corresponding guiding grooves. The connecting wall is connected to the guiding arms and is located between the guiding arms. Each of the elastic rods includes a bending portion. The elastic rods respectively abut against the protrusions and are arranged in series at the same height.

An ejector for electric vehicle charging connectors is provided. An ejector can be configured to be secured on the inside of the charging port of an EV and to automatically eject or push the charging connector from the charging port. The ejector may include a pusher assembly that selectively extends through an opening in a housing forming the socket of the charging port. The ejector may also include a driver assembly that forces the pusher assembly through the opening to eject the charging connector while allowing the pusher assembly to be freely withdrawn when the charging connector is inserted.

A pull strap connector includes an insulating housing, a number of conductive terminals, a movable element, an elastic member, and a pull strap. The insulating housing includes a main body and a tongue plate. The main body includes a first end wall and a second end wall. The movable element includes at least one first locking protrusion protruding forwardly from the first end wall for engaging with a first locking hole of a mating connector. The movable element includes at least one ejector rod. The movable element includes at least one second locking protrusion on a rear end of the ejector rod. The second locking protrusion protrudes forwardly towards the second end wall for engaging with a second locking hole of the mating connector. The pull strap is configured to drive the movable element to overcome the elastic member so that the movable element moves along a front-back direction.

A cable connector configured to secure a cable is provided. The cable connector has a casing, a latch, and a pulling member. The casing is configured to secure an end of the cable. The latch has a lower portion and an upper portion. The lower portion is secured on the casing and has a lower through hole. The upper portion has at least one upper through hole and at least one protrusion. The pulling member is connected with the upper through hole and penetrates the lower through hole. While the pulling member is pulled away from the latch along a first direction, the pulling member pulls the upper portion toward the lower portion along a second direction, so as to adjust a position of the protrusion. Thus, the latch may not be separated from the casing when a user pulls the pulling member.

An electrical and/or optical plug connection has a first plug connector and a second plug connector which can be fit to the first plug connector and which corresponds to the first plug connector. The first and second plug connectors each have a plug face which has a first sheet metal contact and a corresponding second sheet metal contact which can be fit together in an electrically contacting manner. The plug connectors further include first and second optical and/or electrical plug contacts which are fit together and which arranged with spacing from the first and second sheet metal contacts. A latching hook having a latching hook and latching arm is provided on the first plug connector and a corresponding latching recess having a latching edge is provided on the second plug connector. A hook portion (1 of the latching hook is connected to the latching arm via a bending line which deviates from a straight line and has a raised 3D shaped surface region with at least one open side.

An unlocking aid for simplifying a process of releasing an electrical connector from a mating electrical connector is disclosed. The electrical connector comprises at least one locking mechanism, at least one housing element and at least one cable connection. The unlocking aid is brought into engagement with the locking mechanism of the electrical connector from outside the electrical connector and, by means of a connecting element, leads a gripping region to a position substantially behind the cable connection in order to release the locking mechanism.
