Various embodiments of a strut end condition, end block, and connector are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system including a series of strut assemblies is provided, comprising: two strut assemblies oriented end-to-end, each including: a strut; an insulator; at least one conductor wire; and an end block oriented within an end of the strut, the end block nesting within the strut; a connector spanning a junction created by adjacent ends of the two strut assemblies, the connector including: an upper housing having at least conductor element having vertical elements at opposing ends; a lower housing, the lower housing including: two lower housing wings, and rotatable locking cams oriented on each of the lower housing wings, the rotatable locking cams having two opposing flat sides and two opposing rounded ends; wherein the locking cams are rotatable to engage the connector with each of the two strut assemblies.

An electrical connector includes: an insulative housing having a mating cavity; plural contacts including a row of upper contacts and a row of lower contacts secured in the insulative housing, the row of upper contacts and the row of lower contacts having respective contacting portions exposed to the mating cavity; and a lifter operable relative to the insulative housing to move the row of lower contacts upwardly.

A diagnostic port connector for a vehicle that includes a locking mechanism is disclosed. The system can comprise a connector body, such as a male OBD-II connector. The connector can include a plurality of connector pins, with the pins capable of passing signals and messages from the vehicle's on board diagnostic system to a device in electrical communication with the connector. The connector can also include a connection retention component. The connection retention component can be configured to maintain a connection between male connectors and female connection ports by interfering with a protruding portion of the female connection port.

An electrical connector assembly includes a main housing with a guide receiving and guiding a slider, the slider having an oblique groove and a cam surface, a cover mountable to the main housing, and a lever hinged to the cover and having a cam counter surface. In a pre-lock condition, the cam counter surface is coupled with the cam surface to translate the slider upon tilting of the lever. The oblique groove cooperates with a mating element of a socket to move the electrical connector assembly into engagement with the socket upon translation of the slider. The cover is mountable to the main housing in a first and a reverse second orientation. The lever and the main housing have a poka yoke device establishing the pre-lock condition only when the lever is tilted into a predetermined initial position.

Various embodiments of a strut end condition, end block, and connector are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system including a series of strut assemblies is provided, comprising: two strut assemblies oriented end-to-end, each including: a strut; an insulator; at least one conductor wire; and an end block oriented within an end of the strut, the end block nesting within the strut; a connector spanning a junction created by adjacent ends of the two strut assemblies, the connector including: an upper housing having at least conductor element having vertical elements at opposing ends; a lower housing, the lower housing including: two lower housing wings, and rotatable locking cams oriented on each of the lower housing wings, the rotatable locking cams having two opposing flat sides and two opposing rounded ends; wherein the locking cams are rotatable to engage the connector with each of the two strut assemblies.

An electrical connection mount extending along an axial direction and comprising a movable element that can move along the axial direction between a contact position and an insulated position, wherein the movable element is configured to come into contact with at least one complementary contact of a complementary electrical connection mount in the contact position while the movable element is configured to be remote from the at least one complementary contact of the complementary electrical connection mount in the insulated position, the electrical connection mount comprising a displacement mechanism configured to move the movable element between the contact position and the insulated position when the electrical connection mount and the complementary electrical connection mount are engaged with each other and rotated relative to each other around the axial direction.

A power plug with leakage current protection device, which includes a body formed of an upper cover and a base, a core assembly disposed in the body, a cable assembly attached to the body, a plurality of input insertion plates and output moving contact arms which are assembled with the core assembly, and an insertion plate sleeve disposed on the base, where the input insertion plates pass through the insertion plate sleeve to protrude from the base. The insertion plate sleeve is made of an insulating and temperature resistant material. The power plug has a simple overall structure and can be assembled easily and reliably. It can prevent the safety risk caused by high temperature of the input insertion plates without increasing the size of the plug. It also has low cost, and can be suitably employed in various types of power plugs.
