Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for unmating an electrical connector assembly wherein the movement for unmating the first and second connectors is temporarily blocked after interlocking contacts are disconnected and before the power contacts are disconnected. The invention also relates to a connector system and a connector assembly offering such functions.

Abstract: The electrical connector includes an insulating housing, for receiving at least one electrical contact terminal connected to a cable, wherein at least one terminal accommodating chamber is formed, said insulating housing including a front face intended to mate with a counterpart connector, and a rear wall provided with a rear slot for introducing each terminal in the respective chamber. It further including a sealing deformable material facing the rear wall, and a press for pressing the sealing deformable material against the rear wall. The press comprises a flap connected to the housing so as to be able to rotate between an open position in which access to the rear slot is allowed, and a closed position in which the flap presses the sealing deformable material against the rear wall, so that the sealing deformable material deforms in order to sealingly close the rear slot and come into contact with the cable when it is inserted.

Abstract: The cable includes a conductive cable core, an inner insulating sheath covering the cable core, a conductive sheath covering the inner insulating sheath, and an outer insulating sheath covering the conducting sheath, except for a revealed portion of the conductive sheath extending from an end of the cable, wherein the revealed portion has an end opposite the outer insulating sheath. The method includes the steps of, while maintaining the free end of the conductive sheath in contact with the inner insulating sheath, pushing up the end of the revealed portion of the conductive sheath from the end of the cable for revealing a portion of the inner insulating sheath and causing the revealed portion of the conductive sheath to crumple, forming an annular nipple, and blocking the pushed up portion of the conductive sheath.

Abstract: The object of the invention is an electrical connector module comprising housings (16) for receiving forwardly-inserted female contacts (18), each contact comprising a forward cage (20) and a rear blade (24) provided with pins (26) to be crimped on a flexible circuit (12). The object of the arrangement according to the present invention is to permit a forward mounting of the contact with an immobilization in its housing.

Abstract: An electrical connector with reduced insertion force comprising a base (10) provided with a blind recess (22) for receiving a plug (12). The base and the plug are connected to a flexible circuit (14, 16) of the type comprising a layer of electrical cables (18, 20). The electrical connector comprises sliding introduction guide means (38, 40) and means (84, 86) for locking in translation to permit a first orientation in which the plug can be displaced in translation and a second orientation in which the plug is immobilized by relative swinging of the plug and the base.

Abstract: A low insertion force electrical connector comprising at least a plug and a base provided with a blind recess for receiving the plug. The base has pin contacts. The plug is connected to a bundle of electrical cables by means of electrical contacts. The base and the plug comprise conjugal means on the base and plug, which conjugal means include the base having a guide groove opening into a swing and lock hole formed in the base. The conjugal means permit a displacement in translation, with the plug in a first orientation, and when the plug is completely inserted at the end of the blind recess of the base a swinging displacement of the plug relative to the base, from the first to a second orientation, in which the plug is immobilized in translation by first locking means on the base and plug.
