Example implementations relate to an electronic plug having a locking assembly for securing within an electronic port having a receptacle. The locking assembly includes a cantilever beam, a deformable arm, and an axle rotatably coupled to a connector of the electronic plug. The cantilever beam extends from the axle, where a free end of the cantilever beam includes a locking tab aligned to a recess of the connector. The deformable arm extends from the axle, where an open end of the deformable arm is rested on the connector. In a biased state of the deformable arm, the locking tab is positioned below the recess to allow movement of the connector in and out of the receptacle. In a relaxed state of the deformable arm, the locking tab protrudes above the recess to allow movement of the connector into the receptacle and prevent movement of the connector out of the receptacle.

It is aimed to make only some of a plurality of housings in a connected state separable. A connector is provided with a first housing and a second housing connectable to the first housing. The second housing includes a detachable housing connectable to the first housing and separable from the first housing and an inseparable housing connectable to the first housing. The first housing and the inseparable housing are provided with an unreleasable lock portion and a lock arm for locking the inseparable housing and the first housing in a connected state. The unreleasable lock portion and the lock arm have no part enabling release of locking by the unreleasable lock portion and the lock arm.

The present system generally relates to a tamper resistant cap that prevents unwanted access to a semi-tractor trailer's 7 ways connection. The system includes a controller that can be operated remotely to transmit signals to an actuator within the cap. The actuator operates a lock to secure the cap in the closed position and selectively unlock the lock to allow the cap to be opened.

A male welding lead connector apparatus including a slidable member to block the male welding lead connector from rotating relative to a female welding lead connector when the two connectors are engaged with one another. A method of locking a male welding lead connector to a female welding lead connector using a special male welding lead connector including a slidable member to block the male welding lead connector from rotating relative to a female welding lead connector when the two connectors are engaged with one another.

A self-locking connector provides an electrical connection between sources, equipment, devices, and the like. The self-locking connector generally includes first and second connector components with first and second housings that include corresponding electrically conductive elements, first and second magnetic elements, and first and second lock elements. One housing includes stationary and movable housing components. The connector components are brought into a coupled state with the corresponding electrically conductive elements providing an electrical connection. As the connector components are brought into the coupled state, the movable housing component automatically moves and brings the locking elements into locked engagement. The magnetic elements urge the connector components in the coupled state and the locking elements in locked engagement. The movable housing component is manually moved to bring the lock components out of locked engagement and the connector components out of the coupled state to break the electrical connection.

A charging connector control system may include a charging control unit of a charging equipment for supplying a control signal for charging; and a vehicle control unit for changing a sensing control signal to a normal control signal by executing a variable resistor control according to whether the sensing control signal, which is generated by sensing the control signal transmitted through a charging connector for connecting the charging equipment and a vehicle, is normal.

A socket device for electrically contacting a corresponding plug device. The socket device has a first contact part having a first contact surface arranged radially between an outer first and inner second touch protection part, beyond which the first and second touch protection part axially protrude, a centrally arranged coupling unit, a receptacle region for receiving a corresponding third touch protection part of the plug device, and at least one insulating part, which is arranged extending in the radial direction on the first and/or second touch protection part and at a height above the first contact surface in such a way that the at least one insulating part at least partially overlaps with the first receptacle region but does not overlap with the first contact surface in a top view of the socket device.

A charging socket includes a housing formed of an electrically insulating material, a cavity in the housing receiving an electrical contact, and a dual-functional element partially protruding from an outer surface of the housing. The dual-functional element has a fixing component and a drainage component. The fixing component protrudes from the housing and fixes the housing to a mounting bracket. The drainage component has a drainage channel within the housing discharging fluids from the charging socket.

An adapter, including a first plug connector part for electrical and mechanical connection to a cable, a second plug connector part for electrical and mechanical connection to an electrical and/or electronic device, and a housing. The first and second plug connector parts being provided in or on a wall of the housing or being part of the housing. The adapter including at least one matching circuit, which is connected to contacts of the first and second plug connector parts via electrical lines.

Systems and methods for a coupler including: a cable comprising a bend relief disposed at an end of the cable and one or more wires; a socket comprising one or more pins and one or more socket terminals, where the one or more pins are electrically connected to the one or more socket terminals; and a housing body disposed between the cable and the socket, where the housing body comprises a portion of the bend relief and the one or more wires connected to the one or more socket terminals, and where at least a portion of the housing body is made of hot melt such that the housing body encapsulates the portion of the bend relief, the one or more socket terminals, and the one or more wires connected to the one or more socket terminals.
