Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes a connector, a counter-connector, and a dedicated tool for disassembling the connector and the counter-connector. The connector includes primary and secondary locking means, at least one of which being at least partially covered by a protecting wall configured so as to have an insertion opening, wherein a key portion of the dedicated tool can be inserted. The insertion opening has a shape which is complementary and/or adjusted to the key portion. A process for unmating the connector and the counter-connector is also presented.

Abstract: An illustrative example embodiment of a connector shell includes a connector cover and a cable-guiding sleeve having a curved conduit. The cover and the cable-guiding sleeve are made up of two separate elements. The cable-guiding sleeve is mounted on the cover so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation. The cable-guiding sleeve and the cover comprise means for blocking the rotation of the cable-guiding sleeve on the cover in at least two different pre-set angular positions about the axis of rotation. These blocking means comprise shapes that engage with each other in a complementary way, and that are able to release each other and allow the passage from one angular position to the next.

Abstract: An electrical connector having a mate assist system including a user actuatable member which slides along an operating direction between a rear position and a forward position, a first and a second rack sections extending parallel to the operating direction, and first and second rotatable cam members having a cam slot configured to receive a respective mounting pin protruding from a mating electrical connector. Each rotatable cam member engages a respective rack section and the first and second cam members rotate in opposite directions when the user actuatable member is moved from its rear position towards its forward position.

Abstract: A set of electrical connectors includes a connector and a mating connector. The connector comprises a locking device mounted on a housing so as to slide in a locking direction between a pre-locking position and a locking position. The connector also has a latch. The latch is provided with a locking surface for locking the connector to the mating connector. The latch extends between a junction that joins it to the body of the housing and at least the locking surface in a direction opposite to the locking direction.

Abstract: The electrical connector assembly includes a first connector having a first housing, a second connector having a second housing, and a cover movably mounted on the housing. The housing of the second connector is movably mounted on the housing of the first connector. A lock that may be actuated is movably mounted on one of the housings. In the initial position of the cover, the cover covers or shields the lock. In the final position of the cover, the cover does not shield the lock.

Abstract: Connector assembly for electrical power supply or transmission in vehicles, comprising first and a second connector devices to be mated according to a mating axis. The first connector device comprises at least one spring device terminated by at least one electrically conductive head, movable in a spring load direction. The second connector device comprises at least one interlock terminal including an electrical conductor and an insulation cap arranged in such a way that, during the mating sequence, the at least one head touches first the insulation cap on one or several insulating areas and then contacts the electrical conductor on one or several conducting areas. Each of the one or several insulating areas is offset laterally with respect to each of the one or several conducting areas, according to a lateral direction perpendicular to the mating axis and to the spring load direction.
