Abstract: Technologies are generally described for multiple individual connectors in a single connector assembly. The individual connectors may be any form-fit suitable connectors such as USB type connectors and similar ones. The connector assembly may be circular, oval, rectangular, or other shapes. Coupling between the plug and receptacle of the connector assembly may be through threads, pressure, a click-on mechanism, screws, or other compatible mechanisms. Off-the-shelf individual connectors may be fitted with a module adaptor, then inserted into an accordingly shaped inside portion of the outer shell, and held in place through a latching mechanism or similar. Alternatively, the connector assembly may be formed with the individual connectors and cabling may be added subsequently. In some examples, post retention or backshell retention may be implemented in conjunction with the plug connectors.

Abstract: A connector includes sheet metal contacts (40, 42) with termination ends (60, 62) for terminating to wires and with mating ends (70, 72) for mating to other contact devices such as circuit board pads. Each terminating end includes a wide groove part (90) with a groove bottom (94) that receives the wire insulation and with a pair of wide groove part wings (96, 98) that are crimped around the insulation. Each termination end also includes a narrow groove part (100) for receiving a bared conductor of the wire, the narrow groove part having a bottom (104) that is offset from the wide groove part bottom (94), and the narrow groove part having a pair of narrow groove part wings (106, 108) that are crimped around the wire conductor.

Abstract: A connector is provided for connecting to a device in a high pressure environment, wherein a front portion of the connector body is inserted into a passage of the device so contacts mate, and a nut is screwed into the threaded rear end of the passage until the nut front end presses against a shoulder on the body to press an elastomeric portion of the body against a ledge of the device to seal thereagainst. A grounded wire has its front end crimped to a grounding terminal. A finger on the grounding terminal extends radially through a portion of the body to the outside of the body, the finger being bent and engaging a smooth inner surface on the nut. One connector is formed of an elastomeric front member and a hard plastic rear member that is overmolded to the front member and to a quantity of potting material, the attachment portion of the grounding terminal being molded in the hard plastic rear member.
