A connector, comprising: a housing; a plurality of elastic members combined with the housing; and a plurality of terminals mounted in the housing, wherein the housing can be inserted into an opening formed in a wall member, the elastic members include a mating exposed surface exposed on a mating surface of the housing and a side wall exposed surface exposed on a side wall surface of the housing and constitute at least one left and right symmetric pair positioned respectively on both left and right sides in the width direction of the housing, and the side wall exposed surface includes a rib extending in the mating direction that is able to come into contact with an inner surface of the opening.

A connector assembly including a connector body with a spring clip including a first free end for engaging a side wall of an electrical box upon installation. During insertion of the connector body the first free end engages the knock-out hole perimeter and deforms so as to permit further insertion. An alignment rib also engages the perimeter to improve continuity between the connector assembly and the electrical box.

A connection device for an appliance with an appliance housing includes a main body having an appliance-side end, a connection-side end facing away from the appliance-side end, and a conduit extending from the appliance-side end to the connection-side end, a securing element securing the main body to a wall section of the appliance housing, and a conductor leading through the main body from the connection-side end to the appliance-side end. The main body has a first abutment surface facing the appliance-side end. The securing element has a second abutment surface facing the first abutment surface. The first abutment surface and the second abutment surface enclose therebetween a receiving region for clamping reception of the wall section of the appliance housing.

A connection device for connecting an electrical or electronic component, which is accommodated in a thick-walled housing part, through a stepped bore in the wall of the housing part, includes a connection part having a stepped cylindrical body having a first cylindrical portion with a first outer diameter corresponding to the diameter of an inner bore portion of the stepped bore and a second cylindrical portion with a second outer diameter corresponding to the larger diameter of an outer bore portion, and a separate, essentially cylindrical contact carrier part fixed in the base body, which has contact pins protruding from an inner end face located on the inside of the thick-walled housing part. A fastener detachably fastens the connection part inserted in the stepped bore in the bore of the housing part.

An in-floor electrical fitting includes a lower body, an upper body detachably connected to the lower body, and at least one detachable retention clip movable between a first position in which a portion of the at least one detachable retention clip extends outwardly past a periphery of the body and a second position in which the portion of the at least one detachable retention clip is moved inward from the periphery of the body. An angular position of the upper body may be reconfigurable relative to the lower body into at least two different orientations.

A cover assembly (100) is disclosed that can be installed onto and removed from a telecommunications connector (200) without requiring the connector (200) from being removed from its mounted position and without requiring an associated cover plate (120) from being removed from its mounted position. The cover assembly (100) can include a base portion (150) that defines an opening that entirely surrounds a cover portion (110). In one example, the cover portion (110) is attached to the base portion (150) via a living hinge (118). In one aspect, the base portion (150) acts as a color cap while the cover portion (110) acts as a dust cover. In one example, the base portion (150) is provided without a cover portion (110) such that the cover assembly (100) simply acts as a color cap.
