A plug connector includes a first connector half configured as a socket connector and a second connector half configured as a plug connector, each of the connector halves including an insulating body housing at least a respective pair of electric contact elements, respectively female and male, a short-circuit element being provided between the contacts of the socket connector half, adapted to hold such contacts shorted upon unmated connector, wherein the short-circuit element is made from a strip of resilient metallic material, shaped so as to constitute a spring and to offer, at each of its ends, a resilient contact, the first end of the short-circuit element being substantially rigid and stable in contact with a respective female electric contact element, while the second end of the short-circuit element, upon plug connector unmated, goes intimately into contact with the other element of female electrical contact of the socket connector.

An electrical cable connector includes a contact subassembly and a housing. The contact subassembly is terminated to an electrical cable. The contact subassembly includes a center contact, a dielectric holder, and an outer contact. The contact subassembly has a protrusion extending outward from an outer surface of the contact subassembly. The housing defines a cavity that receives the contact subassembly therein. The electrical cable extends from the housing through an opening at a rear end of the housing. The housing includes a retention mechanism that engages the protrusion of the contact subassembly to secure an axial position of the contact subassembly in the cavity relative to the housing. The retention mechanism allows the housing to rotate relative to the contact subassembly and the cable.

A cable assembly is used to connect elements of a computing system. The cable assembly may include a first cable and a connector. The first cable includes an external portion having a first conductor, an electromagnetic (EMC) shielding jacket for the first conductor and a connector disposed at an end of the first conductor. Further, the first cable includes an internal portion comprising a second conductor and a connector disposed on an end of the second conductor. However, the internal portion lacks an EMC shielding jacket for the second conductor. The external portion of the first cable and the internal portion of the first cable form a continuous cable. The connector device comprises a shield area configured to electrically couple with a chassis of a node of a computer system and a retainer configured to physically couple the cable assembly with the chassis. The connector is configured to electrically couple the external portion of the first cable with the chassis, and wherein the external portion of the first cable meets the internal portion of the first cable at the connector device.

An electrical connector includes a housing, a primary locking sleeve disposed on the housing, and a securing tab. The housing has a receptacle open in a connection direction essentially parallel to a longitudinal axis, the receptacle receiving a complementary connector. The primary locking sleeve is movable relative to the housing between a locked position securing the electrical connector and the complementary connector and a release position for connecting and/or disconnecting the electrical connector and the complementary connector. A gap having a gap width is disposed between the housing and the primary locking sleeve at least in the locked position. The gap width decreases from the locked position to the release position. The securing tab is insertable at least partially into the gap to an inserted state to secure the primary locking sleeve in the locked position.

A moving direction of an operating member (11) from an initial position toward a connection position with respect to a housing (10) is selectable from directions along a first movement path and a second movement path opposite to each other. The housing (10) includes a first lock portion (25) and a second lock portion (26) at positions line-symmetrical with respect to a center of a length along the moving direction of the operating member (11). The first and second lock portions (25, 26) lock and hold the operating member (11) selected to move along the first movement path respectively at the initial position and the connection position and lock and hold the operating member (11) selected to move along the second movement path respectively at the connection position and the initial position.

An operating member (11) includes a plate-like arm (37) configured to cover an outer surface of a housing (10) and is displaceable to an initial position and a connection position. A resilient piece (48) is provided on an outer edge of the arm (37) and projects along a plate surface of the arm (37). The resilient piece (48) restricts a displacement of the operating member (11) from the initial position to the connection position by resiliently locking a lock receiving portion (32) while being unlocked from the lock receiving portion (32) by being pressed by an unlocking portion (15) of a mating housing (12) and allowing displacement of the operating member (11) to the connection position. The resilient piece (48) is shaped to be delectable and deformable in a direction along the plate surface of the arm portion (37) when being pressed by the unlocking portion (15).
