Abstract: A sealing unit about an elongated element, particularly a cable of an electric connector, and presenting first and second elastically deformable sealing elements facing each other, in use, on either side of the elongated element, and each having complementary first and second portions. The sealing elements are pressed against each other so that the first and second portions cooperate in sealing manner with each other, at least one of the first and second portions being deformed by the other portion to cooperate in sealing manner with the elongated element.

Abstract: An electrical connector for a flexible circuit comprising a number of side by side conducting tracks between a pair of insulating layers; an insulating casing with an inner end seat for receiving one end of the flexible circuit; a number of electrical terminals housed inside the casing and presenting contact portions cooperating with respective tracks of the flexible circuit by slitting the insulating layers; and a safety element, which snaps inside the seat and presents walls for gripping the contact portions of the terminals onto the flexible circuit.

Abstract: An electric connector having an insulating casing with at least one axial cavity, an electric terminal retained inside the cavity by primary retaining means, and a secondary retaining device in turn having a first movable element which snaps onto the casing for ensuring correct engagement and preventing release of the terminal by the primary retaining means. The secondary retaining device also has a second movable element interposed between the first movable element and the terminal, and which, when subjected to thrust by the first movable element, cooperates with the terminal for at least partially expelling it from the cavity in the event the terminal is not correctly engaged by the primary retaining means, the first movable element presenting an elastically deformable portion which is released from the second movable element in the event the terminal is correctly engaged by the primary retaining means.

Abstract: An electric connector presenting an insulating casing with at least one axial cavity; an electric terminal retained inside the cavity by an elastic lance; and a first movable element which snaps onto the casing to determine correct engagement and prevent disengagement of the elastic lance and the terminal; the first movable element also presenting a second movable element interposed between the first movable element and the terminal. The first movable element causes the second movable element to cooperate with and at least partly expel the terminal from the cavity in the event the elastic lance fails to correctly engage the terminal.

Abstract: A female electric terminal made of conductive sheet metal. The terminal has a contact body with contact first and second flexible blades which project from opposite walls of the contact body and which cooperate with a male terminal and a portion for connection to an electric cable. The blades define a gap smaller than the thickness of the male terminal. The male terminal is inserted into the gap and the blades cooperate elastically with opposite faces of the male terminal. The first and second blades are asymmetrical so as to define transversely offset contact areas on the respective faces of the male terminal.
