Abstract: A connector housing for an electrical connector includes a receiving portion arranged inside a cavity of the connector housing. The receiving portion is adapted to receive an electrical contact terminal. The receiving portion further comprises at least one latching nose adapted to block a release movement of the electrical contact terminal upon insertion of the electrical contact terminal into the connector housing. The connector housing comprises a reinforcement element made of a material different than the material of the connector housing. Said reinforcement element is arranged on a surface of the connector housing and adapted to reinforce at least a part of the connector housing in a region around the at least one latching nose. The present disclosure further relates to a connector assembly for an electrical connector.

Abstract: An interface assembly includes an interface housing including a receiving portion arranged inside an interface cavity of the interface housing, for receiving an electrical contact element. The interface housing further includes at least two latches and an electrical contact element for transferring electrical power. The electrical contact element includes a busbar portion and a plug-in portion. The busbar portion includes at least two latching noses. Each of the at least two latching noses is assigned to one of the at least two latches to block a release movement of the assigned latching nose upon mating of the electrical contact element and the interface housing.

Abstract: A electrical connector comprises a housing defining a receiving space, and a first opening in communication with the receiving space and configured for receiving a first electrical terminal. The housing includes a primary locking device configured to secure the first electrical terminal at a defined position within the receiving space, and a secondary locking device includes one or more locking elements. The secondary locking device is located within the receiving space and configured to be moveable between a pre-locked condition and a locked condition. In the pre-locked condition, the secondary locking device and the housing are configured to permit the first electrical terminal to move into, or out of, the defined position. In the locked condition, the one or more locking elements of the secondary locking device are configured to lock the first electrical terminal in the defined position.

Abstract: A rotatable interface assembly for an electrical connector, an electrical connector, a connector system, and a method for coupling the system is presented herein. The rotatable interface assembly includes a connector component, having an electrical contact for electrically connecting electrical elements via a corresponding counter connector. The rotatable interface assembly further includes a base part and a rotatable part. The base part at least partially houses the connector component and has a securing means for being secured to a fixed counterpart. The rotatable part being configured to receive the corresponding counter connector at least partially under a specific angular orientation. The rotatable part is arranged on the base part, so as to be rotatable around a rotational axis relative to the base part.

Abstract: An illustrative example embodiment of a network connector module for a network connector is adapted for network communication with data rates of at least up to 1 Gbit/s. The network connector module comprises a module housing of electrically insulating material wherein the module housing comprises at least two terminal receptacles that are arranged directly adjacent to each other, each of the terminal receptacles receives an electrical contact terminal. The network connector module comprises further an electrical shielding member made of cut and bent sheet metal, wherein the electrical shielding member at least partially surrounds the module housing. The electrical shielding member includes at least two contact elements for electrically contacting ground contacts of a corresponding counter connector. The contact elements are arranged lateral of the module housing, so as to be in a row with the electrical contact terminals. Further, the contact elements sandwich the electrical contact terminals.
