A connector includes a connector terminal having a flat connection surface that faces a counter connector terminal, at least one spherical ball disposed on the connection surface, at least a surface of the ball having electrical conductivity, a ball retaining portion retaining the ball such that the ball is rotatable, a ball guiding portion fixed to the connector terminal and holding the ball retaining portion such that the ball retaining portion is movable in a two-dimensional manner along the connection surface, and a terminal spring pressing the counter connector terminal or the connection surface of the connector terminal in such a direction that the counter connector terminal and the connection surface approach each other.

A connector assembly is provided. The connector assembly includes a socket to receive a plug and having an electrical contact. The connector assembly further includes a flexible fabric embedded with a pattern of electrically conductive elements and spanning the socket to conceal the electrical contact. The flexible fabric can deform toward the electrical contact of the socket to cause at least a portion of the pattern to contact the electrical contact.

A connector includes a required number of contacts, an electrical insulation housing and a metallic shell. A tab is formed in the connector. A pressure receiving portion of the tab is pushed by a pushing portion of the shell to move the pressure receiving portion toward a mounting face of a substrate for applying a force in the insertion of FPC but not applying a force to the tab in the detaching thereof, whereby an engaging portion of the tab is moved in a direction opposing to the mounting face of the substrate to unfasten the engaging portion from an locking portion of the FPC.

An electrical connector assembly includes a cable connector equipped with a locking device essentially composed of an operation part pivotally mounted to the case, and a locking part pivotally mounted to the operation part, and a host connector equipped with a locking ear for locking with the locking part wherein the host connector forms a forward protrusion to form an outer region and an inner region each provided with a sealing member adapted to be compressed in the front-to-back direction by locking mechanism.

Appliances comprising a base unit and a plug connector coupled to the base unit. The plug connector is configured to electrically couple the appliance to a first socket connector of an electrical receptacle. A channel is formed on or in a first sidewall of the base unit. The plug connector is disposed in the channel when in an engaged position. A defines a channel wall of the channel. The lever is configured to facilitate a transition of the plug connector between the engaged position and a disengaged position. The lever engages the plug connector when in the engaged position and does not engage the plug connector when in the disengaged position.

A test plug block (1) for plugging onto a series terminal block (2), comprising a plurality of test plugs (4) connected to one another and two fastening parts (5), which are arranged on both sides of the plurality of test plugs (4) and are connected to one another by means of a grip piece (6), the fastening parts (5) each having a housing (7) and an insertion portion (8), which can be inserted into a receiving portion (9), the receiving portion (9) being formed in the clamp housing (10) of a fastening clamp (11) of the series terminal block (2).

A pluggable module includes a plug body, a deflectable beam, and a tether. A rear end of the plug body is removably receivable in a module cavity of a cage member. The deflectable beam extends from a fixed end to a free end that is spaced apart from the plug body by a clearance gap. The deflectable beam includes a catch feature engaging a complementary catch feature of the cage member to secure the pluggable module in the module cavity. The tether extends through the plug body within a tether channel. A mounting end of the tether is secured to the deflectable beam and a handle of the tether projects beyond the front end of the plug body. Frontward movement of the handle deflects the deflectable beam into the clearance gap for disengaging the catch features to allow removal of the pluggable module from the module cavity.

The present utility model relates to the field of a QSFP+ module hot-pluggable unlocking structure. The hot-pluggable unlocking structure includes a housing formed of an upper cover and a lower cover buckled to each other, and a locking component provided on the housing, where guiding grooves are provided on two sides of the housing, two unlocking pieces are provided at one end of the locking component and a pull tab is provided at the other end, the unlocking pieces are engaged with and provided in the guiding grooves, a spring is provided on the upper cover, spring-catch elements are provided on the locking component and protrude towards the upper cover, and the spring-catch elements and the spring are pressed against each other. The structure simplifies the pull tab unlocking structure and manufacturing process thereof and helps reduce costs.

An electrical connector with a flat-type conductor 1 for matingly connecting a front end section of a flat-type conductor C with a strip-like configuration extending in the forward-backward direction to a counterpart electrical connector 2, said electrical connector with a flat-type conductor 1 comprising the flat-type conductor C and a housing 10 holding the front end section of the flat-type conductor C, wherein the housing 10 has a locking portion 11E lockable to the counterpart electrical connector 2 and receiving spaces 10D for receiving counterpart terminals 30 provided in the counterpart electrical connector 2, and the locking portion 11E, along with being positioned differently from the position of the receiving spaces 10D when viewed in the thickness direction of the flat-type conductor C, is positioned so as to at least partially overlap with the receiving spaces 10D in the thickness direction of the flat-type conductor C.

The present invention provides a plug connector engaged with a socket. The plug connector includes an insulating body and a metal limiter. The insulating body has a mating port and a space for accommodating a circuit board, and the mating port is connected with the space. The metal limiter includes a metal bottom plate and a pair of metal side structures. The metal bottom plate is arranged under the opening of the mating port. The pair of metal side structures are respectively connected to the two sides of the metal bottom plate and arranged on the left and right sides of the opening to form a limiting space. When the plug connector is matched with the socket, the metal shell of the socket is sheathed with the front end of the insulating body, and the metal shell is located in the limiting space to restrict the plug connector from shaking.
