PROBLEM

Enabling a high degree of freedom of displacement of movable housing, reliably maintaining a mated state, size reduction, simple configuration, a small number of components, simplified manufacturing, low cost, and high reliability.

RESOLUTION MEANS

The fixed housing includes a long wall portion extending in the longitudinal direction of the connector and a short wall portion extending in the width direction of the connector and connected to the long wall portion. The movable housing includes a long wall portion extending in the longitudinal direction of the connector and a short wall portion extending in the width direction of the connector and connected to the long wall portion. The power supply terminal includes a fixed-side retained portion retained on the short wall portion of the fixed housing, a movable-side retained portion retained on the movable housing, and a bent portion connected to the fixed-side retained portion and the movable-side retained portion. The movable-side retained portion includes a first retained portion retained on the short wall portion and a second retained portion retained on the long wall portion.

A locking connector system for releasably locking a first connector in mechanical engagement with a second connector. The locking connector system generally includes a first connector including a female coupler and a second connector including a male coupler, with the first and second connectors being adapted to mechanically connect to each other. The first connector includes an adjustable latch which selectively engages with a catch portion on the male coupler to lock the connectors together. The latch may be pressed downwardly, such as by use of a connected button, to release the latch from the catch portion and disconnect the connectors. The first connector is adapted to provide audible, visual, and tactile feedback to confirm when the latch engages with the catch portion.

A contact assembly for a connector housing includes an adapter element and a contact element. The adapter element has a sleeve with a lead-through opening extending in an axial direction of the sleeve and with a threaded bore extending perpendicularly to the lead-through opening through the sleeve. The contact element is adapted to be inserted into the lead-through opening and latched to the sleeve. The contact element may exhibit varying types of a cable connection section and/or a contact section. The adapter element is receivable within the connector housing and may accept the contact element regardless of the type of cable connection section and/or contact section.

A connector includes a terminal, a housing, a temperature sensor, and a holding structure. The holding structure holds the temperature sensor so as to be movable in at least a first orthogonal direction in a space portion (housing formation space portion). The housing has the base portion and the pressing arm portion extending from the base portion in the contact direction and elastically deformable with respect to the first orthogonal direction orthogonal to the contact direction. The pressing arm portion has a protrusion portion that protrudes into the space portion and comes into contact with the temperature sensor. When the protrusion portion comes into contact with the temperature sensor, the pressing arm portion is elastically deformed to press the temperature sensor located in the space portion with respect to the first orthogonal direction, and the pressed temperature sensor is brought into contact with the terminal.

Various embodiments of the teachings herein include a connector assembly comprising: a housing; a connector housing integrally formed as part of the housing; an aperture integrally formed as part of the connector housing; a wire assembly including a wire connector having a housing portion located in the aperture, the wire connector connected to the connector housing via a first connection; and a locking element connected to the connector housing via a second connection. The first connection prevents the wire connector from becoming detached from the connector housing and the second connection prevents the locking element from becoming detached from the connector housing.
