A wire cover is to be mounted on a rear side in a connecting direction of a connector to be connected to a mating connector. The connector includes a plurality of female terminals disposed apart from each other in a lateral direction and a plurality of wires connected to the respective female terminals and pulled out from the rear side in the connecting direction. The wire cover includes a housing having an insertion opening through which the plurality of wires are inserted and a draw-out opening through which the plurality of wires inserted through the insertion opening are drawn out rightward, and an assisting member for assisting three-dimensional bending of the respective wires inside the housing. The respective wires are three-dimensionally bent inside the housing and drawn out through the draw-out opening by being assisted by the assisting member.

A retainer apparatus includes a post having a first end to be received by an opening of a wall plate cover of an outlet and a second end opposite the first end. At least a portion of the post has a plurality of grooves positioned between the first end and the second end. The plurality of grooves forming a retainer-receiving portion. A plug retainer is moveably coupled to the post. The plug retainer to slide along the retainer-receiving portion in a linear direction relative to the grooves when the plug retainer is moved relative to the retainer-receiving portion of the post.

A cable includes a wiring assembly with a knuckle and wires bundled together. The cable also includes a connector assembly with a connector having connections for the wires, where the connections are arranged along a longitudinal axis. In some embodiments, the connector assembly captures an end of the wiring assembly, and the knuckle of the wiring assembly is pivotally connected to the connector assembly. In some embodiments, the cable includes circuitry configured to authenticate the cable to a device connected to the cable by the connector and/or to authenticate the device connected to the cable. A control system includes control elements and/or subsystems coupled with a backplane adjacent to one another and cables configured to connect to the control elements and/or subsystems. Wiring assemblies of the cables can articulate to be parallel to each respective connector. Further, each cable can authenticate the cables and/or the control elements or subsystems.

A connector backshell assembly includes a module hood sealable against a connection port having a first connector, a harness hood configured to house a second connector mateable with the first connector, a backshell configured to provide strain relief to a wire harness extending from the second connector and securable on the harness hood after the second connector is housed within the harness hood, and a latch assembly having a latch handle moveable from a first position into a second position to move the harness hood into sealing engagement with the module hood.

The cable assembly includes a first wire assembly. The first wire assembly is connected to a first connector and a second connector. The first connector includes a shell and the shell includes an extension. The extension extends away from the rear of the connector. In one embodiment, the extension is integral with the shell. The extension includes one or more openings. The first wire assembly is bent in a controlled manner at first bend. The first opening in the extension maintains the first wire assembly in the bent position to maintain control of the radius in first bend. The radius is controlled to allow the first wire assembly to fit in a small space.

A pre-wired management fastening device, including a tubular part composed of an integrally formed upper tubular party and a lower tubular part. An included angle is formed between the upper tubular and the lower tubular. Inside the tubular part has a channel. The front end of the tubular part has a cable clamping mechanism. The rear end of the tubular party is locked on the inlet of the electric plug connector or electric plug slot. It is convenient for the construction of on-site personnel, which makes the wiring of the cable more beautiful and reduces the difficulty of construction.

An illustrative example embodiment of a connector shell includes a connector cover and a cable-guiding sleeve having a curved conduit. The cover and the cable-guiding sleeve are made up of two separate elements. The cable-guiding sleeve is mounted on the cover so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation. The cable-guiding sleeve and the cover comprise means for blocking the rotation of the cable-guiding sleeve on the cover in at least two different pre-set angular positions about the axis of rotation. These blocking means comprise shapes that engage with each other in a complementary way, and that are able to release each other and allow the passage from one angular position to the next.

An angle connector, including an angle holder, a cable, and multiple contacts, is provided. The angle holder includes a first receiving portion, a second receiving portion, and a first bending portion connected therebetween. Each of the first receiving portion and the second receiving portion has multiple receiving grooves. The cable includes multiple core wires. Each of the contacts includes a first connecting portion, a second connecting portion, and a second bending portion connected therebetween. The first connecting portions for electrically connecting to another electrical connector are embedded in the receiving grooves of the first receiving portion. The second connecting portions electrically connected to the core wires are embedded in the receiving grooves of the second receiving portion.

A connector with electric wires includes a housing mounted to a vehicle body, two terminals housed in the housing, and two electric wires each connected to the terminal. The two electric wires are drawn out from openings of the housing with the two electric wires disposed in a longitudinal direction (arrow Y direction) and extended straight in a direction (arrow X direction) orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the terminal. Inside the housing, the two terminals and the two electric wires are arranged on the same plane.

A connector includes a connector housing 10 provided with cavities 13 for accommodating terminal fittings and connectable to a mating connector, a cover 50 configured to cover wires pulled out from the connector housing 10 by being mounted on a cover mounting surface 10A side of the connector housing 10 opposite to a connection surface, locking pieces 55 deflectably provided on both side surfaces of the cover 50 and configured to lock the cover 50 to the connector housing 10 by projecting toward the connector housing 10, and protection walls 37 provided on the connector housing 10, the other locking piece 55 coming into contact with the protection wall 37 when being pushed in an unlocking direction when one of the locking pieces 55 is unlocked and the cover 50 is inclined with respect to the connector housing 10.
