The electrical connector can be used to establish mechanical and electrical connection between a flexible component, such as, a flexible circuit or a flexible cable, and a printed circuit board. The connector generally comprises an upper housing, a contact housing, contacts, expandable leg members and post elements. The expandable legs are disposed on the upper housing. The contacts are disposed in openings in the contact housing. In order to use the connector, the flexible component is placed b...

An electrical connector includes an insulative housing and a shielding plate attached to the housing. The housing includes a pair of locking arms extending from opposite ends thereof substantially along a direction along which the shielding plate is attached to the housing. The shielding plate includes opposite side portions engaging with the locking arms of the housing. Each locking arm of the housing has a protrusion. Each side portion of the shielding plate defines an opening engagingly recei...

A connector has a housing, contacts, and a cover housing which is mounted in the housing. Electrical wires are passed through the cover housing, and the tip end portions of the electrical wires are held by clips. When the cover housing holding the electrical wires is pushed into the recess of the housing, the protruding tongue parts of the contacts pierce the outer coverings of the electrical wires, and bite into the conductors of the electrical wires. Since the supporting arms of the clips are ...

An electrical connector for connection of a flat-type connection member is disclosed. The electrical connector includes a cover pivotally moved to open or close an opening of a housing. The cover is reinforced with a metal plate. The cover includes a pair of support shafts for pivotal movement, and engagement portions adapted to engage with lock portions of the housing for locking the cover in a close position. The metal plate is provided with the pair of support shafts and the pair of engagemen...

An electrical contact includes a tubular portion, and a contact piece portion which is provided within the tubular portion so as to contact a contact portion of a mating connector terminal, inserted into the tubular portion through one open end thereof, to be electrically connected to the contact portion. The contact piece portion is supported by a contact piece portion-interconnecting portion, extending from an edge of the other open end of the tubular portion, in such a manner that the contact...

An electrical adapter is composed of a body and a changeable plug. The body has a housing being composed of a first semi-housing having a first notch and a second semi-housing having a second notch. A circuit plate is received in the housing and has a third notch and two strips respectively provided at a top and a bottom of the third notch. A first plug is rotatably mounted in the first notch and the second notch, and has a seat, two rods vertically extending through a top and a bottom of the se...

An electrical connector is adapted to connect two signal transmission cables, and includes a terminal seat with a plurality of insert slots for snugly gripping transmission wires of one transmission cable. The terminal seat has two lateral portions and a transverse portion extending therebetween such that the distances of the adjacent insert slots can be increased so as to increase the distance between the transmission wires respectively mounted in the insert slot, thereby reducing the electroma...

An electrical connector with a plurality of contacts is provided wherein it offers improved contact reliability of a contact arm portion with a circuit board and allows for a longer arm length of the contact arm portion for a length along a horizontal direction of the housing. First and second resilient contact arms 12A, 12B extending in parallel to each other substantially obliquely from a first end of a base toward and above a second end of the base 11. Contact portions 13c, 14c at respective ...

Electrical connector with a contact element and an additional spring element, the contact element having a contact zone formed by two contact legs and a bent spring area that applies a contact force to a mating contact element inserted into the contact zone, the additional spring element having two legs and a bridge which connects the legs. The contact force is increased by the additional spring element which is arranged relative to the contact element such that the stretching of the additional ...

An electrical device is proposed which has a housing (1), comprising at least two housing parts (2, 3), and an electronic circuit disposed in the housing (1). A connection device (5) for supplying voltage to the device and/or for signal transmission to the electronic circuit is present that can be secured to the housing (1); the housing parts (2, 3) are joined to one another by laser welding at a joining edge (4). The connection device (5) is provided with a welding flange (8), which comes to re...
