A retention clip for mechanical strain relief of a cable tube surrounding a cable harness of a connector defines a cable channel for passing therethrough the cable harness along an insertion direction. The retention clip includes a catch section at least partially projecting into the cable channel and adapted to engage the cable tube inserted into the cable channel, an anchoring section for attachment of the retention clip to the connector, and a transition section located between the anchoring section and the catch section, wherein the transition section continuously surrounds the cable channel and is circumferentially monolithic with respect to the insertion direction. Due to the circumferentially monolithic nature, the retention clip more compact and easier to manufacture and install than existing strain relief structures with two halves. Further, a cable assembly, a connector and a connection assembly with such a retention clip are provided.

A plug connector for being mated with a mating connector, to the mating connector, the connector assembly, and to a method of mating a connector assembly. A plug connector for being mated with a mating connector comprises a rotatable lever, which is operable to be rotated between an unlocked position and a locked position; and a first housing comprising a pivot bearing for rotatably supporting the rotatable lever. The lever comprises an actuating element, which is engageable with a driving element arranged at the mating connector, the actuating element being operable to un-mate the plug connector from the mating connector by rotating the lever from the locked position into the unlocked position, wherein the rotatable lever has latching means, which are operable to lock the plug connector at a corresponding locking element of the mating connector without rotating the lever, when the lever is in the locking position.

A clamp retainer for an electric connector includes an insulation housing defining at least one receptacle for inserting an electrical conductor along an insertion direction, and at least one clamping spring for clamping the electrical conductor upon insertion into the at least one receptacle, wherein the at least one clamping spring comprises a fixing portion, a clamping portion and an intermediate portion, wherein the fixing portion is held directly by the insulation housing, wherein the clamping portion is deflectable towards the fixing portion, wherein the clamping portion and the fixing portion are jointed by the intermediate portion, and wherein the intermediate portion is spaced apart from the insulation housing in the insertion direction.

A crimp terminal includes a crimping segment having a base, a first side wall extending from the base, and a second side wall extending from the base opposite the first side wall. The crimping segment has a first surface adapted for arranging a wire thereon along a longitudinal axis and a second surface opposite the first surface. The first side wall has a first serration on the second surface. The second side wall has a pair of second serrations on the second surface. The first serration is displaced from the second serrations along the longitudinal axis and, in a crimped state, a portion of the first serration is positioned between a pair of portions of the second serrations along the longitudinal axis.

A contact element includes a frame and a contact spring fixed to the frame. The frame has a first region and a second region opposite the first region. The second region is spaced apart from the first region by a gap. The contact spring has a fixed end fixed to the first region of the frame and a free end opposite the fixed end. The contact spring extends from the first region across the gap to the second region. The free end of the contact spring overlaps the second region.

A connector assembly for electric cables having a predetermined wire gauge to be mated with a mating connector along a mating direction includes a plurality of terminals arranged on a common terminal plane. The common terminal plane extends parallel to the mating direction. Each of the terminals is configured to be connected to at least one wire. The distances between each of the plurality of terminals in a pitch direction is smaller than the predetermined wire gauge. An electric connector including the connector assembly further includes a mating connector having a plurality of mating contacts with a mating pitch that is equal to the distance of the terminals of the connector assembly.

A connector housing assembly includes a housing and a metal plate provided in the housing. When an upper row of terminals and a lower row of terminals of a connector are provided into the housing, the metal plate is between, and not in contact with, the upper row of terminals and the lower row of terminals. The metal plate reduces signal crosstalk between the upper row of terminals and the lower row of terminals.

A cable connector includes an outer shell, an outer electrical conductor mounted within the outer shell and defining a first through hole, an insulating housing disposed inside the outer electrical conductor and defining a second through hole, an inner electrical conductor disposed inside the insulating housing and defining an insertion cavity and a connection hole communicating with the insertion cavity, a fastener mounted at least partially in the connection hole and operable to fasten a center conductor of the cable inserted into the insertion cavity, and an insulating ring fitted over the outer circumferential surface of the electrical conductor. The insulating ring is movable between a shielding position in which the first through hole is covered and a non-shielding position in which the first through hole is uncovered to allow the fastener to be exposed from the first and second through holes aligned with each other.

A wire clamping assembly for automatically clamping an electrical conductor inserted in an insertion direction, comprising a first housing part, a second housing part, and a wire clamping spring. The first housing part is attached to the second housing part and the first housing part and the second housing part define a assembly interior volume extending between them. The wire clamping spring is attached to the first housing part and extends into the assembly interior volume, the wire clamping spring being configured to clamp the electrical conductor.

A wire clamping assembly and a connector arrangement for automatically contacting an electrical conductor upon insertion of the electrical conductor into the wire clamping assembly. The wire clamping assembly includes a clamping spring, a trigger, and a latch. The latch engages the clamping spring in a preloaded position of the clamping spring. The trigger is coupled to the latch and configured to disengage the latch when the trigger is operated, thereby releasing the clamping spring. The released clamping spring being configured to clamp the inserted electrical conductor in a clamping position of the clamping spring. The trigger is configured to be operated by the electrical conductor upon insertion of the electrical conductor into the wire clamping assembly. The trigger and the clamping spring are two separate elements.
