Card edge connector for a lighting module
A lamp assembly for a vehicle comprising a housing, a reflector mounted in the housing, a light source, a printed circuit board or PCB mounted on a heatsink of the lamp assembly and coupled to the light source to control operation of the light source. The PCB has a first connector for coupling to a second connector comprising a body having a plurality of resilient or elastic arms that each have a detent for locking the connector to the component and retain electrical contact with the PCB. The wall of the heatsink defines an aperture for receiving the second connector and provides a locking surface that deflects the arms towards the body while engaging and cooperating with the detents to lock the connector to the PCB. The free end of the arms extend beyond the mounting wall and are actuated to unlock the connector from the PCB.
Foam Protective Shell for Refrigerator Connectors
A connector assembly for installation on a wall includes a main connector body introduced into a cut-out hole of the wall and a protective shell positioned on an inner side of the wall. The protective shell protects the main connector body from an insulation foam entering the main connector body when foamed in place. The protective shell has a front portion, a receptacle formed at the front portion and receiving a second end of the main connector body, a flange extending from and surrounding the receptacle, and a lead-through channel formed at a back portion of the protective shell. The flange is attached on the inner side of the wall and covers the cut-out hole. The lead-through channel has an internal flap routing a cable through the back portion in a meandering manner. The internal flap is inclined with respect to the lead-through channel.
Structure for fixing connector
A structure for fixing a connector to a fixing portion includes the connector and the fixing portion. The fixing portion includes a bracket and a fitting portion. The bracket is erected on the fixing portion. The connector includes a lock portion configured to, when the bracket is inserted into the lock portion by attaching the connector to the fixing portion, lock the bracket. The fitting portion is configured such that a part of the connector is fitted into the fitting portion when the connector is attached to the fixing portion. The bracket may be integrally molded with the fixing portion molded with a resin. The fitting portion may have a hole portion running along a fitting direction in which the connector is attached to the fixing portion, and a slit may be formed in the fitting portion.
Snap connection assembly
The present disclosure provides a fastener for supporting and connecting two electric connectors. The fastener comprises a support portion provided with a support surface on a top portion thereof, a connecting hole penetrating the support surface and extending into the support portion, and a pair of clamping shoulders respectively arranged on opposing first and second sides of the support portion. The pair of clamping shoulders are made of a first elastic material at least at top portions thereof such that, when the fastener is mounted in a receiving slot of a fastener receiving member, the pair of clamping shoulders can be pressed against the fastener receiving member to provide an amount of elastic deformation, which enables the fastener to move a certain distance toward the electric connectors relative to the fastener receiving member when the fastener is connected to the electric connectors.
CONNECTOR UNIT, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, AND SHEET PROCESSING APPARATUS
A connector unit includes a connector mounting member having a mounting hole, and a connector passed through the mounting hole and attached to the connector mounting member. The connector includes a terminal portion to which another connector is configured to be connected, and a hook portion engaged with an edge portion of the mounting hole. The connector mounting member includes a panel portion on which the mounting hole is formed, an extending portion extending from the panel portion along an inserting direction of the another connector with respect to the connector, and a regulating portion projected from the extending portion at a position abutting against or close to an end portion opposite to the terminal portion of the connector in the inserting direction. A distance between the regulating portion and the panel portion is shorter than a distance between the terminal portion of the connector and the end portion.
WIRING APPARATUS AND SYSTEM
An electric metallic tube (EMT) conduit apparatus includes an electric metallic tube (EMT) conduit, a first insulated connector housing attached to a first end of the electric metallic tube (EMT) conduit and a second insulated connector housing attached to a first end of the electric metallic tube (EMT) conduit. The first insulated connector housing includes a plurality of electrically conductive male pins and the second insulated connector housing includes a plurality of electrically conductive female pins. A plurality of conductors within the electric metallic tube (EMT) conduit include a first end attached to one of the male pins of the first insulated connector housing, and a second end attached to one of the female pins of the second insulated connector housing.
Connector
A first housing 10 is arranged in a mounting hole 91 of a panel 90. The first housing 10 includes a base portion 27, a coupling portion 28 located forward of the base portion 27, a linking portion 29 linking between the base portion 27 and the coupling portion 28, and a lock arm 30 projecting rearward toward the base portion 27 from the coupling portion 28. The lock arm 30 has a lock surface 34 to be arranged to contact a front surface of the panel 90. The lock arm 30 and the linking portion 29 are both shaped to be resiliently deformable.
Wall-mounted network extender and adapter
A power module may be attached to and detached from a network extender. The power module may include one or more power connectors that are specific to one or more countries/regions. The power module may include one or more other interfaces (e.g., Ethernet port, etc.). The power module may include a power connector and a male local area network connector on a first surface. The power module may include a local area network port on a second surface, wherein the local area network port is conductively connected to the male local area network connector via a local area network port access.
Bidirectionally installable intermediate modular adapter for a rack-mounted panel
A bidirectional intermediate modular adapter (500) can be installed from the front or the rear of a mounting panel. The body (502) of the modular adapter includes a front face (504), an opposing rear face (506), an opening (210) extending from the front face through the body to the opposing rear face, a first side surface (512) and an opposing second side surface (514), a flexible top surface (508) and an opposing lower surface (510). The flexible top surface has flexible beams (518A, 518B) and landings (528A, 528B), which define a deformable opening (520), and a first groove (526). The landings may have ramps (522A, 522B) at the sides thereof. The opposing lower surface has a second groove (540) extending at least partially lengthwise across thereof. The bidirectional intermediate modular adapter is preferably made of a nonconductive material with a conductive plating thereon.
Narrow width fiber optic connector
Various embodiments disclosed herein are directed to a Network system including: a connector comprising a housing comprising a groove running widthwise on a surface of the housing; and a push-pull tab comprising a complementary groove, wherein the push-pull tab is detachably connected to the housing; and a receiver device comprising one or more ports for receiving the connector, the one or more ports having an interchangeable anchor device including a first portion and a second portion; wherein the groove is configured to receive the first portion of the interchangeable anchor device when the connector is inserted into the receiving element, and wherein the complimentary groove is configured to receive the second portion of the interchangeable anchor device when the connector is inserted into the receiving element, the push-pull tab being configured to disengage the second portion of the interchangeable anchor device from the complementary groove when the push-pull tab is moved in a direction away from the connector, thereby disengaging the first portion of the interchangeable anchor device from the grove of the connector. Other aspects are described and claimed.
