Abstract: A plug (2) that includes a plug frame (7) is inserted into an opening of a housing (4) and is retained by a pair of spring-like detent pieces (6) extending into the opening. Projecting portions (6a) on the detent pieces engage recess portions (15) on right and left hand sides of the plug frame. A cylindrical lug (13) is slidably mounted on the plug frame and includes an opening portion (14) and inclined surfaces (17) to permit plug removal. The inclined surfaces (17) serve as cams to lift the projection portions (6a) out of the recess portions (15) when the lug is moved rearwardly. A stopper (3) is insertable into the plug frame to block such rearward sliding motion of the lug on the frame to prevent removal of the plug from the housing. The stopper may include a locking inward projection (3d) for engaging a hole (13b) bored in the lug to block rearward motion of the lug on the plug frame.

Abstract: The sleeve holder for an optical connector capable of preventing slip-off or disconnecting of the sleeve holder from a housing and eliminating breaking of a split sleeve due to the increase of an insertion force of the ferrule by maintaining always no-load state for engaging pieces. A tube-shaped main body inserted and held in the housing is mounted therein with a slider slidable in an axis direction. A split sleeve inserting and holding the ferrule is mounted at the insides of a tube body and the slider fixedly engaged coaxially with the main body, and such mount of the split sleeve together with the slider is slidable by a predetermined stroke in the axis direction.

Abstract: An audio apparatus having a detachable control panel or operating-part main unit includes a microcomputer for detecting an OFF state of an ACC position of the ignition key, or the attached/detached state of the operating-part main unit. When such states are detected, normal operations of the microcomputer; namely, the operations to turn on an SWD V.sub.DD terminal and an A/D port and to set a KEY DATA terminal into a standby mode, are stopped intermittently in order to execute a low consumption process in which electric power is consumed only for holding information in memory in the microcomputer. When the microcomputer detects the OFF state of the ignition key or the OFF state of an installation detection switch and, an alarm ON state is set in the memory in the microcomputer, then an alarm sound is generated from a speaker for a predetermined time.

Abstract: Means and method for assembling an optical fiber cable with a tubular member that secures an outside protective jacket of the cable. The inside wall of the tubular member is provided with serrations such that when the wall is physically reduced on the protective jacket, the serrations engage and retain the jacket without compressing the inner optical fiber so that it is free to move longitudinally within the jacket. This is accomplished by using a crimping device having a crimping aperture that is sized to precisely control the amount of reduction of the tube wall onto the protective jacket.
