Abstract: A charging connector is provided for mounting on a printed circuit board and includes a dielectric housing. A triple-function terminal is mounted on the housing and includes a charger portion exposed on the exterior of the housing, a fixing portion for securing the connector to the circuit board, and a reflector portion having a reflective surface visible from exteriorly of the housing for detection by a fabricating device. Another terminal is a dual-function terminal and includes a charger portion as well as an enlarged fixing portion. A pair of additional metal reflector members also are mounted on the housing to provide triangular coordinates with the reflector portion of the triple-function terminal.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes an inner dielectric housing adapted for mounting a plurality of electrical contacts and including a forwardly projecting mating portion. A metallic shield surrounds the housing and includes a generally L-shaped resilient latching mechanism at the front of the shield outside the mating portion. The L-shaped latching mechanism includes a front-to-rear first leg along the mating portion and a transverse second leg projecting outwardly of the mating portion. The first leg has an outwardly projecting latch portion. An outer dielectric cover includes an actuator for engaging the second leg of the L-shaped latching mechanism to urge the first leg and its latch portion inwardly toward the mating portion of the housing.

Abstract: A terminal fixture of the present invention comprises an electric wire connection member connected to the terminal of an electric wire; a pair of elastic contact members in which the respective top ends of a pair of side plates opposite to each other and bent in the same direction from a bottom plate are bent inward in a reverse U-shape; and a protective plate member comprising a front protective plate provided integrally with the above-mentioned bottom plate on the front side of the pair of elastic contact members, a pair of side protective plates which surround the outside of the above-mentioned pair of side plates and is formed by bending both the sides of the front protective plate on the above-mentioned electric wire connection member side, and a top plate which is located between the above-mentioned electric wire connection member and the above-mentioned pair of elastic contact members and top end thereof is extendedly provided from the one side protective plate and locked to the other side protective p
