The present invention relates to a release tab (37) for an electrical connector (1), comprising a body (38) and an unlocking nose (42) for unlatching a latch (13) securing the electrical connector (1) connected with a mating connector (2), as well as to an electrical connector (1) comprising a housing (4), a latch (13) for securing the housing (4) to a mating connector (2), the latch (13) extending from the housing (4), having an opening (19), as well as being transferable to an unlatched position, and a release tab (37) being arranged movable between a released position and an actuated position, and having an unlocking nose (42) extending into the opening (19) to transfer the latch (13) to the unlatched position when moving the release tab (37) from the released position to the actuated position. For providing an improved release tab and an improved electrical connector of a simple and compact design, allowing the connector to be unplugged in high density applications, the unlocking nose (42) is arranged at a cantilever (41) projecting from the body (38), and the release tab (37) of the present invention is arranged at the electrical connector.

A receptacle assembly is provided with an electrically conductive terminal received within a receptacle. A longitudinal guide body is received within the receptacle in engagement with the terminal. The guide body has an aperture formed therethrough, which is sized to receive a pin through the aperture. At least one fastener extends from the guide body to provide an interference fit with a housing of the receptacle. A retainer is also provided with at least one fastener extending from a guide body to fasten the retainer to the receptacle. A charge assembly is also provided with a handle housing. A shoulder extends transversely from the guide body to engage a distal end of the receptacle and to position the guide body relative to the receptacle. A sleeve extends from the shoulder at least partially over the receptacle housing. The sleeve is formed integrally with the handle housing.

An electronic device (1) is described comprising a base module (2) and an electronic module (3) detachably pluggable onto the base module (2). The base module (2) comprises an insulation material housing (16) with a snap-in base (5) for attaching the base module (2) on a carrier rail and plug contacts (7, 8) on the side walls. The electronic module (3) comprises an insulation material housing (20) and is connectable to the plug contacts (7, 8) of the base module (2) in the attached state on the base module (2). The base module (2) and the electronic module (3) comprise interacting snap-in elements (23, 26) for locking the base module (2) and the electronic module (3) to each other when the electronic module (3) is attached to the base module (2) A snap-in element (23) of the electronic module (3) comprises a protruding activation lug (27) on a second face (15) of the electronic device (1). The electronic module (3) comprises a protruding catch lug (19) on its first face (11) opposite the second face (15). The electronic module (3) and the base module (2) comprise interacting linear guides (35a, 35b; 36a, 36b), wherein the electronic module (3) is held linearly displaceable on the base module (2) using the linear guides (35a, 35b; 36a, 36b) and is receivable on the base module (2).

A connector for a microphone and a microphone are provided that can prevent loose connections to a microphone stand. The connector for the microphone is to be inserted into a connector support hole of a microphone stand. The connector includes pins to be electrically connected to the microphone stand, a connector body accommodating the pins, a sleeve disposed on the outer circumferential surface of the connector body, and an elastic member for biasing the sleeve toward the rear end of the connector body. The sleeve has an insertion portion to be inserted into a space between the connector body and the connector support hole.

A connector includes a female housing, an engagement detection member, and a cover member. The female housing is provided with a terminal connected to a counterpart terminal of a counterpart connector and is capable of being engaged with the counterpart connector. The engagement detection member is assembled with the female housing in a movable manner from an initial position to an engagement assurance position in a state where the counterpart connector and the female housing are completely engaged with each other. The cover member is assembled with the engagement detection member through a locking unit locked with the engagement detection member. The locking unit is provided inside an outer shape line of the engagement detection member when viewed in a direction of relative movement between the female housing and the engagement detection member.

A connector includes an outer housing, an inner housing to be engaged with the outer housing, and a sliding member. The sliding member includes a first protrusion formed at the leading end part (+Y side) of a first support arm and protruding inwardly (−X-axis direction) that is at a main-arm side, and a second protrusion formed at the leading end part (+Y side) of a second support arm and protruding inwardly (+X-axis direction) that is at the main-arm side.

A lever-type connector includes a housing having support holes; a fitting part provided inside the housing and fitted in a counterpart connector; a lever that includes a pair of plate-like portions facing each other in an opposed manner, a connection portion connecting the pair of plate-like portions with each other, and projection portions provided respective outside surfaces of the pair of plate-like portions, the lever being rotatably supported by the housing while the projection portions are engaged with the support holes; and sliding members each includes a guide portion that is slidably supported by the housing and engaged with a part to be guided provided to the counterpart connector, the sliding members being slid depending on a rotation of the lever to depress the part to be guided by way of the guide portion and fit the counterpart connector in the fitting part.
