A socket for an electric component includes a socket body in which a contact pin is provided in a housing part and a cover member provided so as to be rotatable with respect to the socket body. The cover member has a cover member body and a heat slug in contact with an electric component. The heat slug is configured so as to move downward and press the electric component by being pressed from above by a cooling head in a state in which the cover member is closed. In a state in which the electric component is housed in the housing part, a restricting mechanism allows the downward movement of the heat slug, whereas in a state in which the electric component is not housed in the housing part, the restricting mechanism prevents the downward movement of the heat slug.

A bayonet style connector and methods for using the connector are provided. The bayonet style connector is particularly capable of single-handed manipulation by a user. It comprises a cylindrical housing; a boss and a locking boss on the outer surface of the cylindrical housing; and a handle. The locking boss is configured to resiliently move relative to the cylindrical housing, and the handle is configured to move the locking boss.

A connector is provided. The connector includes a connector body formed with a terminal portion, a locking body slidably coupled to the connector body, and a spring including a first leg portion fixed in position inside the connector body and a second leg portion making contact with the locking body. The spring is configured to apply a restoring force to the locking body in a direction in which the second leg portion is moved away from the first leg portion.

A mast lighting system of the type including at least one mast having a proximate end and an opposite distal end, the distal end capable of supporting an electrical component and the proximate end mounted to a foundation that has at least a portion extending into the ground, an electrical cable within the mast connecting the electrical component to a distribution component assembly through a breakaway electrical connector, and a power source connected to the distribution component assembly. The breakaway electrical connector including a fuse in a first part and a fuse clip in a second part forming the breakaway connection between the two parts of the electrical connector.

A push-push fixing structure includes a base, a guiding element, a flexible element and a locating element. The guiding element is disposed on the base, includes a first guiding groove, a second guiding groove and a locating portion. The first guiding groove is connected to the second guiding groove, the locating portion is located at a junction of the first guiding groove and the second guiding groove. The flexible element is disposed on the base and pressed against the guiding element. The locating element has a first end portion and second end portion opposite to each other. The first end portion is disposed on the base. The second end portion is slidably disposed in the first guiding groove and the second guiding groove of the guiding element. When the guiding element is moved by push force, the second end portion of the locating element slides along the first guiding groove and the second guiding groove, and locates at the locating portion.
