Abstract: A connector assembly includes a connector housing configured to receive a terminal and a cover with at least one fastening means for securing the cover to the connector housing. The cover features pivoting means that allow the cover to pivot around a pivoting axis during mounting on the connector housing, allowing for convenient and secure attachment of the cover to the housing.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a vibration damping and clearance compensation element for an electrical connector, featuring a flexible wall with a first and second main surface, mounted in a cantilevered manner. A hollow space is positioned adjacent to the first main surface of the flexible wall, allowing for enhanced flexibility and vibration absorption. At least one contact element extends from the second main surface of the flexible wall, providing electrical connectivity while accommodating movement and misalignment. This configuration effectively dampens vibrations and compensates for clearance variations, ensuring reliable electrical connections under dynamic conditions. The design is particularly suited for applications requiring robust performance in environments subject to mechanical stress and movement, enhancing the durability and reliability of electrical connectors.

Abstract: A connector designed for mating with a counter-connector through the insertion of a connector housing into a counter-connector housing includes a lever that rotates around an axis between a first position for pre-engagement and a second position for full insertion. The connector features a latch with a tongue parallel to the lever's rotation plane, elastically flexible at its connection area with the housing. The tongue's free extremity blocks lever rotation in the delivery position, thereby preventing movement toward the mated position by abutting the lever. This extremity is displaced from its blocking position by a cam-like shape on the counter-connector during pre-engagement. The blocking action is cantilevered relative to the tongue's connection with the housing and/or angled with respect to the tongue's normal direction, causing deformation within the tongue's plane. This configuration ensures secure pre-engagement and controlled transition to the fully mated position.

Abstract: A connector assembly includes a connector with a first housing part, a second housing part, and a terminal holder within the first housing part. At least one terminal is housed in the terminal holder, featuring a contact portion designed to connect with a terminal in a counterpart connector, extending primarily in the mating direction. The second housing part is mountable with the first housing part through at least one mounting displacement parallel to the mating direction. It includes an actuating portion, while the terminal holder has a wedge portion configured for partial insertion between the first housing part and the terminal holder. The actuating portion presses on the wedge portion during mounting, and the terminal holder and wedge portion are designed to prevent movement parallel to the mating direction between the first housing part and the terminal holder when the wedge portion is engaged by the actuating portion.

Abstract: A right-angled connector is disclosed, including a connector housing with a forward stop surface designed to secure a right-angled terminal in a terminal cavity. The right-angled terminal features a connection section for interfacing with a corresponding terminal and an attachment section for conductor attachment. A cover, attached to the connector housing, encloses the terminal cavity and includes a rearward stop surface to limit the motion of the connection section to less than 0.5 mm along the connection axis. This design ensures precise positioning and retention of the right-angled terminal within the connector, enhancing stability and reliability of connections.

Abstract: A connector system includes a connector housing with electrical contacts for engaging counter-contacts of a counter-connector. The system features a lever mechanism with a lever arm connected to the housing via a joint, enabling movement between open and closed positions. In the open position, the counter-connector can be partially mated, while in the closed position, full mating is achieved. The lever includes a securing portion extending through an opening in the housing wall to secure the lever in place. This design facilitates the mating process between the connector and counter-connector, ensuring a reliable and secure electrical connection.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an electrical connector comprising first and second connector housings configured to be coupled and uncoupled from one another via a mate assist mechanism comprising a lever. The lever is configured to be positioned, when the first and second connector housings are in an uncoupled state or the second connector housing is absent, at a pre-lock position, whereby a blocking element of the lever is configured to cooperate with a blocking surface of the first connector housing, the electrical connector comprising a lever seal and a panel seal.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a connector assembly. The connector assembly includes a connector housing adapted to engage with a corresponding counter-connector housing. A lever including a first lever arm and a second lever arm is pivotably and sealingly mounted to the connector housing. Each lever arm includes interlocking means for connecting the first lever arm to the second lever arm at a first location. The interlocking means of each of the first lever arm and the second lever arm are configured to define complementary symmetrical surfaces that interlock with one another when the lever arms are pivotably mounted to the connector housing. On mounting the lever arms to the connector housing, the lever is configured to move about the connector housing between an open state and a closed state to secure the counter-connector housing to the connector housing.
