  • Patent number: 8926370
    Abstract: Electrical connector including at least one electrical power contact having a cross-section larger than 8 mm2 and adapted to mate with a complementary connector. The at least one power contact includes a front end adapted to be electrically connected with a first complementary contact of said complementary connector. The at least one electrical power contact includes a back pin having a back pin extremity located at the opposite end of the power contact with respect to the front end and adapted to be electrically connected with a second complementary contact of a second connector.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 17, 2011
    Date of Patent: January 6, 2015

  • Patent number: 7121866
    Abstract: There is described an electric connector (2) having an insulating casing (4) defining a number of cavities housing respective electric terminals and having axes parallel to a first direction (A) in which the connector (2) is coupled to a complementary connector (3); a slide (16) fitted to the casing (4) to slide in a second direction (B) perpendicular to the first direction (A), and having first cam coupling members (19) receiving respective second coupling members (20) on the complementary connector (3) to produce a relative coupling movement between the connectors (2, 3) in the first direction (A) when the slide (16) moves in the second direction (B); releasable retaining means (42, 43, 45, 47, 31, 32) defining a fully assembled position of the slide (16) to the casing (4); and elastic means (35) generating an elastic load on the complementary connector (3) being coupled to the casing (4), so as to expel the complementary connector (3), in the event the slide (16) fails to fully engage the casing (4).
