  • Patent number: 8137135
    Abstract: The coaxial cable connector according to the invention includes a male connector having a male terminal assembly that connects to a female connector having a female terminal assembly during coupling between the male connector and the female connector. Each of the male and female terminal assemblies includes a catching protrusion, while each connector includes an elastic plate formed at a top of an receiving passageway. The elastic plate includes a catching hole in which the corresponding catching protrusion is caught. Each male and female terminal assemblies includes a groove formed at a side thereof, while the male and female connectors include a fixing piece formed at a side of the receiving passageway thereof. The fixing piece fits in the corresponding groove through a side of a corresponding one of the male and female connectors, whereby the male and female terminal assemblies are dually fixed to the male and female connectors.

  • Patent number: 7632116
    Abstract: A connector having a first connector portion with a first connection interface and a guide projection is disclosed. The connector also has a second connector portion with a second connection interface configured for insertion into the first connection interface. The connector also has a lever having a guide channel configured to receive the guide projection. The lever is linearly movably connected to the second connector portion and is positionally biased away from the second connector portion. While the guide projection is within the guide channel, movement of the lever from a fully positionally biased location with respect to the second connector portion initiates a change in a state of connection between the first connector portion and the second connector portion.

  • Patent number: 7520764
    Abstract: A cable connector for a vehicle door has a first connector including a first contact terminal and a fitting member. The fitting member has at least one cam recess, at least one locking recess, and at least one elastic member. The elastic member has at least one latching recess that engages an edge of a connecter mounting opening of a panel of a vehicle body. The contact terminal and the fitting member have a flange with a waterproof seal provided there between. A second connector is engaged with the fitting member of the first connector. The second connector includes a second contact terminal and a slide lever. The slide lever has at least one guide protrusion and at least one locking protrusion. The slide lever is slideable to move the guide protrusion along the cam recess and lock the locking protrusion in the locking recess.
