Abstract: An electrical data connector includes a socket having a socket body that defines a plug connector cavity and electrically conductive shields within the cavity. A plug connector has a plug body telescopically slid into the plug connector cavity. The plug body has an insert cavity and adjacent spring openings, each of the spring openings aligning with a respective one of the shields. A cable head has an insert module telescopically slid into the insert cavity. The cable head includes an electrically conductive fixation element that is fixed to the insert module and fixed to a cable. The fixation element includes integral spring elements that extend generally radially outwardly from the insert module and are each configured to extend through respective spring openings into contact with respective shields.

Abstract: A support member may be connectable in a removable and adjustable manner to a track assembly. The support member may include an electrical connector, a contact, and a biasing member. The electrical connector may be adjustable to a first position and a second position. The contact may be connected to the electrical connector and configured to engage a conductor of said track assembly. The contact may be engageable with said conductor when the electrical connector is in the first position. The contact may not be engageable with said conductor when the electrical connector is in the second position. The biasing member may be configured to bias the contact into engagement with said conductor when the electrical connector is in the first position.

Abstract: A support assembly may be configured for connections with, adjustment along, and removal from a track assembly. The support assembly may include a support member and/or an electrical connector. The electrical connector may be adjustably connected to the support member and adjustable to a first position and a second position relative to the support member. The electrical connector may include a first contact configured to engage a first conductor of said track assembly. The first contact may be engageable with said first conductor when the electrical connector is in the first position. The electrical connector may be configured such that the first contact is disposed at a distance from said first conductor when the electrical connector is in the second position. The first contact may be movably connected to the electrical connector such that the first contact is movable relative to the electrical connector and the support member.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a housing that has a housing first end, a housing second end, and a housing main body that defines a recess, a recess base, a projection, a projection end, and a plurality of terminal passageways. The recess extends from the housing first end toward the housing second end and to the recess base. The projection extends from the recess base toward the housing first end and to the projection end. Each terminal passageway of the plurality of terminal passageways has an inner wall. The inner wall has an inner wall first end, an inner wall second end, and an inner wall length that extends from the inner wall first end to the inner wall second end. The inner wall tapers along a portion of the inner wall length.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a plurality of electrical connector assemblies includes assembling a plurality of individual electrical connector assemblies within a facility. The assembly includes a plurality of connectors. Each of the connectors includes a connector position assurance that is movable between an opened position and a closed position and an indicator that is in a concealed condition when the connector position assurance is in the opened position and in an exposed condition when the connector position assurance is in the closed position. For each of the indicators, a determination is made as to whether it is in the concealed condition or the exposed condition. A record is generated of the determinations of the concealed and exposed conditions for each of the indicators. Lastly, a report is generated of the record of the determinations of the concealed and exposed conditions for each of the indicators.

Abstract: An electric terminal housing includes a terminal cavity. The terminal cavity extends along a cavity axis from an insertion end to a mate end. The terminal cavity is adapted to hold an electric terminal. The terminal housing includes a terminal lock. The terminal lock includes a resilient arm that extends from the housing into the terminal cavity. The terminal lock includes a rib that extends from the arm toward the cavity axis.
