  • Patent number: 12700705
    Abstract: An electrical connection device e includes a busbar group, a rack busbar group and an adapter. The busbar group includes a first busbar and a second busbar, the first busbar has a first body and a first transmitting portion. The second busbar has a second body and a second transmitting portion. The second body and the first body are constructed therebetween to be insulated from each other and be not conducted with each other. The rack busbar group includes two rack busbars. The adapter pluggably mates with the first transmitting portion and the second transmitting portion of the busbar group and is configured so that the adapter is capable of floating relative to the busbar group along a left-right direction, the adapter further pluggably mates with the two rack busbars of the rack busbar group and is configured so that the adapter is capable of floating relative to the rack busbar group along an up-down direction.

  • Patent number: 12700698
    Abstract: An inline electrical connector system includes male and female connectors and a mate assist slider. The male connector includes first and second spaced apart projections which engage with rotatable gears on the female connector, and the mate assist slider includes a gear track which engages with the gears. Axial movement of the female connector and mate assist slider relative to the male connector causes engagement of the first and second projections with the first and second gears, thereby causing the first and second gears to rotate relative to the gear track and draw the female connector and mate assist slider onto the male connector. A releasable connector position assurance device is provided on the mate assist slider to lock the components into a locked position.

  • Patent number: 12683311
    Abstract: For a connector 10, a stopper surface 35a interferes with a stopper contacted surface 53a when an actuator 50 is in an upright orientation and this restricts movement of the actuator 50 around a support shaft part 52 beyond the upright orientation. The cam control surface 25c and stopper surface 35a are positioned more to the back than at least a part of the support shaft part 52.
