An electrical connector may include an insulating body and a housing. The housing may include walls defining an assembly space and surrounding external surfaces of the insulating body. The walls of the housing may include front and rear walls facing front and rear external surfaces of the insulating body, respectively. Portions of the front and rear walls of the housing may be spaced apart respectively from the front and rear external surfaces of the insulating body to form first and second docking slots in the assembly space. The front wall of the housing may include front docking holes in communication with the first docking slot, and the rear wall of the housing may include rear docking holes in communication with the second docking slot. The sizes and positions of the docking slots and the docking holes may be configured to enable a mating connector to be connected reversibly or irreversibly.

A spring clip includes a first beam and a second beam connected to the first beam and resiliently deflectable toward the first beam from a relaxed position distal from the first beam to a compressed position proximal to the first beam. The second beam has a spring latch extending toward the first beam. The spring latch engages the first beam to secure the second beam in the compressed position.

A charging inlet assembly includes a housing extending between a front and a rear. The housing has a DC section including DC terminal channels that are configured to receive DC terminals. The housing has an AC section including an AC module chamber. The DC section is configured for mating with a DC charging connector at the front. The AC section is configured for mating with an AC charging connector at the front. The charging inlet assembly includes an AC charging module removably received in the AC module chamber. The AC charging module includes an AC insert extending between an insert front and an insert rear. The AC insert includes AC terminal channels between the insert front and the insert rear. The AC charging module include AC terminals received in the AC terminal channels. The AC terminals are terminated to ends of AC cables extending from the insert rear. The AC terminals and the AC cables are removable from the housing with the AC insert.

A plug-in connector element with a locking device (14) for releasably locking on a plug partner (12), wherein the locking device has a plurality of locking hooks (16, 18) which are distributed on the circumference of a main body (10) and which are detented at a front end in the plug-in direction and are pivotable in a radial direction between a locking position and a release position, characterized in that the locking hooks (16, 18) are designed as structural parts which are separated from each other and from the main body (10) and which are mounted on the main body such that they are each tiltable about an axis running at right angles to the insertion direction and at right angles to the radial direction, and which, at the end opposite the detent, are each supported resiliently on the main body in the axial direction.

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.

A cable connector configured to secure a cable is provided. The cable connector has a casing, a latch, and a pulling member. The casing is configured to secure an end of the cable. The latch has a lower portion and an upper portion. The lower portion is secured on the casing and has a lower through hole. The upper portion has at least one upper through hole and at least one protrusion. The pulling member is connected with the upper through hole and penetrates the lower through hole. While the pulling member is pulled away from the latch along a first direction, the pulling member pulls the upper portion toward the lower portion along a second direction, so as to adjust a position of the protrusion. Thus, the latch may not be separated from the casing when a user pulls the pulling member.

Various aspects include wearable audio devices enabling modular component attachment and detachment. In certain implementations, a wearable audio device includes: a headband for contacting a head of a user; an earpiece coupled with the headband for positioning proximate an ear of the user, the earpiece having an electro-acoustic transducer configured to output audio signals; and a slot configured to engage an electronic component, where the slot includes one or more snap-fit and/or friction-fit connectors for selectively engaging the electronic component.
