An electrical connector for a multi-wire electrical cable includes two cable-side electrical contact elements including associated terminals to each of which is to be connected a wire of the electrical cable, and two output-side electrical contact elements which are spaced apart from the cable-side electrical contact elements and from each of which projects an electrical connector element via which an electrical connection can be established to a mating connector. An active electrical device is disposed between the cable-side contact elements and the output-side contact elements. The active electrical device is placed on the contact elements, such that the active electrical device is in electrical contact with each of the contact elements, and such that the cable-side contact elements and the output-side contact elements are electrically connected to each other. The output-side contact elements are separated and axially spaced apart from the cable-side contact elements.

A connector is configured to be connected to an inlet of an electric apparatus having a storage battery. The connector includes a main body portion, an insertion portion, a first arm, a first preloading member, a release member, a solenoid, and a slide member. The slide member includes a support piece configured to come into contact with a back surface of a first front portion and a connection piece connecting a plunger and the support piece. The connection piece includes a first connection piece provided on a side of the plunger and a second connection piece provided on a side of the support piece. The support piece and the first connection piece are provided with a shift in position in a left-and-right direction.

The present invention is an RFID-enabled electrical connector with connector position assurance (“CPA”) features. The RFID tag is only readable after the CPA features have been fully deployed. The electrical connector is comprised of at least two parts, a socket and a plug. In the illustrated embodiment, a connector housing is positioned between the socket and plug, with both the socket and plug connecting to the connector housing. Until the CPA feature has been fully deployed, the RFID tag is covered by an electrically conductive material, preferably an electrically conductive plastic. The RFID tag can only be properly read after the CPA feature has been fully deployed. To prevent signal leakage, the RFID tag can alternately be placed inside a five-sided box fabricated from electrically conductive material, preferably electrically conductive plastic.

The present invention aims to stably arrange a ferrite core in a housing. A connector 10 includes a ferrite core 12, and a housing 11 including a receiving portion 20 that receives the ferrite core 12. At least one of an inner peripheral surface 23 of the receiving portion 20 and an outer peripheral surface 12A of the ferrite core 12 includes a protrusion (first protrusion 21, for example) that is in contact with the other peripheral surface so as to hold the ferrite core 12 within the receiving portion 20.

An electronic-element mounting package includes a wiring substrate having a first surface and a wiring pattern thereon; a base having a second surface and a through hole whose opening is on the second surface; a signal line penetrating the through hole and having a first end exposed from an opening of the through hole; and an insulating member between an inner surface of the through hole and the signal line and has an end portion and a main portion. The end portion has an end surface on a side of the opening of the through hole, and the main portion is farther from the opening of the through hole than the end portion. The electronic-element mounting package also has a conductive joining material with which the wiring pattern and the first end are joined. Permittivity of the end portion is larger than permittivity of the main portion.

An electrical plug comprises at least one temperature sensor for monitoring temperature of the electrical plug. The electrical plug further comprises a data cable that is wrapped by a shield for screening electrical noise so as to accurately capture and convey temperature data. The electrical plug further comprises a housing for receiving the at least one temperature sensor, wherein the housing is capable of being embedded in the electrical plug.

A connector part of a connector unit with a male part and a female part, has at least one electrically conductive layer with at least one end region being electrically stressed after a mating process of the male part and the female part. To minimize electrical stress concentrations, the connector part has at least one stress control device for reducing electrical stress at the at least one end region.

Embodiments discussed herein refer to electric vehicle charging ports having integrated contactless communication units (CCUs). The electric vehicle charging ports include male and female connector assemblies that can be coupled together in a manner that enables consistent and reliable operation of contactless communications and power transfer. The connector integrates power and alignment such that when two connector assemblies are coupled together, power connections are made in combination with establishing contactless communications links between counterpart CCUs in both connector assemblies. The fixed alignment of the connector assemblies ensures that contactless communication channels, spanning between the connector assemblies, are aligned to enable consistent and reliable operation of contactless communications. The CCUs, which conduct contactless communications, may be integrated in the connector assemblies at fixed positions that enable CCUs of one connector assembly to be aligned with CCUs of another connector assembly when they are coupled together.

An electrical connector electrically connects a first printed circuit board and a second printed circuit board, where the electrical connector includes: (a) an insulative housing; (b) a plurality of signal conductors, with at least a portion of each of the plurality of signal conductors disposed within the insulative housing; (c) each of the plurality of signal conductors having a first contact end, a second contact end and an intermediate portion therebetween; and (d) a passive circuit element electrically connected to the intermediate portion of each of the plurality of signal conductors, where the passive circuit element is housed in an insulative package and includes at least a capacitor or an inductor.
