A male terminal fitting is provided with a base wall extending in a front-rear direction, and a plate-like tab portion extending forward from a front end part of the base wall. The tab portion includes a first wall portion extending forward from the front end part of the base wall, a second wall portion facing the first wall portion, a coupling wall portion coupling side edges on one side, out of both left and right sides, of the first and second wall portions, and a contact wall portion extending from a side edge on the other side, out of the both left and right sides, of the first wall portion toward the second wall portion and abutting on the second wall portion.

A connector includes a housing having a bore therein. A center conductor element is positioned in the bore and includes a center conductor pin. The center conductor pin is spring-biased to move longitudinally in the housing bore for being compressed. A ground sleeve element is coaxially arranged around the center conductor element and is also spring-biased to move longitudinally in the housing bore for being compressed. The center conductor element and ground sleeve element are coupled together for moving together in the housing bore when compressed. The compressed elements maintain their same coaxial position in the housing bore with respect to each other when the connector is compressed.

A battery pack assembly includes at least one battery cell and a terminal connector mechanism. The at least one battery cell has at least one terminal which includes a terminal engagement portion. The terminal connector mechanism has a retention member and a biasing member. The retention member has retention portion and is configured to move between an engaged position and a disengaged position. The biasing member is positioned between the housing and the retention member to bias the retention member towards the engaged position. In the engaged position, the retention portion of the retention member engages with the terminal engagement portion to inhibit movement of the terminal connector mechanism. In the disengaged position, the retention portion of the retention member is disengaged from the terminal engagement portion to permit movement of the terminal connector mechanism.

A board connector includes a first housing including a base and two sidewalls, plural first terminals retained in the base and located between the two sidewalls, and a first metallic shell enclosing the first housing and including a pair of first engaging portions at the sidewalls and a pair of first locking portions located in front of the sidewalls. A cable connector includes a second insulating housing and defining two opposite sides, plural second terminals retained in the second housing, and a second metallic shell enclosing the second housing and including a pair of second locking portions and a pair of second engaging portions behind the second locking portions. The first locking portions are locked with the second engaging portion, and the second locking portion are locked with the first engaging portions after the board connector and the cable connector is mated with each other.
