A high temperature electrical connector, which may be used to connect a temperature sensor mounted in a combustion chamber of an automotive engine to a cable. The connector has a housing made of high temperature material, such as alumina ceramic. Connector terminals may be retained within the housing but may float relative to the housing, to reduce stresses associated with differential thermal expansion of the housing and terminals and reduce transmission of vibration and resultant degradation of connector performance. Compliant portions may extend from an intermediate portion of the terminals to make contact with pads on a sensor substrate inserted into the connector. The terminals may be retained with an end cap, secured to the housing. Retention of the terminals may be aided by pockets in the housing that receive tips of the terminals. Channels, receiving the intermediate portions of the terminals, may open into the pockets.

The present invention provides a contact member that strikes a balance between low electrical resistance and sliding durability under the condition of load as low as about 0.1 N. A contact member of the invention has a metal base and a coating disposed on at least part of the metal base. The coating contains fluorinated oil having a polar group, and metal particles surface-treated with a fluorine-based compound having a polar group.

An electrical connector includes: plural terminal modules stacked laterally, each of the terminal modules including an insulating body, plural pairs of signal terminals held by the insulating body, plural ground terminals held by the insulating body, and a first ground plate and a second ground plate located on opposite sides of the insulating body, wherein: in each terminal module, the ground terminals and the pairs of signal terminals are alternately arranged in a vertical direction, each pair of signal terminals are arranged in a first plane, each ground terminal is arranged in a second plane intersecting the first plane, the first ground plate, the second ground plate, and the ground terminals shield each pair of signal terminals circumferentially.

An arrangement for plug-connecting electrical connections through a housing, in particular a device for driving a compressor. The arrangement exhibits at least one plug-in connection with at least one plug-in connector for transmitting electrical energy, as well as one mounting element for mounting the at least one plug-in connector. The mounting element can be fixed on the housing. The mounting element exhibits on one inner surface of the housing, which encloses the volume, an opening for mounting a fastening element for fixing the mounting element on the housing. The opening is produced in such a way that it starts from the inner surface, extends into the mounting element and ends in the mounting element. The fastening element is arranged in such a way that it is inserted into the opening from the volume enclosed by the housing through a pass-through opening, that is produced in the housing.

The present disclosure proposes a board-to-board connector terminal and a connector. The board-to-board connector terminal comprises: a male connector terminal including a first part; and a female connector terminal including a second part, wherein in the case of the male connector terminal and the female connector terminal adaptively installed, the male connector terminal is in contact with the female connector terminal; when the male connector terminal is detached from the female connector terminal, the second part abuts against the first part to prevent the male connector terminal being detached from the female connector terminal; in the case of the male connector terminal forcibly detached from the female connector terminal, the first part pushes the second part to cause the second part to be peeled off, such that the female connector terminal is damaged and does not work properly. With the above-mentioned technical solution, the first part cooperates with the second part to enable the female connector to be damaged after the male connector is detached from the female connector, thereby preventing multiple times of plugging of the connector.
