    Abstract: An electrical connector includes an electrically conductive front and rear shell. The front shell includes a cantilever structure extending from a rear face in an axial direction, the cantilever structure having a catch on a free end thereof. The catch mates with a retention slot located on the rear shell to latch together the front and rear shells of the electrical connector. A contact-receiving cavity formed within the front and rear shells houses an insulating sheath carrying electrical contacts. The electrical connector may further include tangs formed as an integral part of the front shell for bearing against a mating end of a mating connector. The electrical connector may include a retention latch for seating the electrical connector within a separate connector housing.

    Abstract: An electrical connector for coupling with a terminal conductive structure includes a terminal assembly that mates with a separate socket assembly in a rotational interface. The terminal assembly terminates in a conductive element, such as a tongue, configured for coupling with a conductive structure, such as a terminal block or power strip, for example. The separate socket assembly has a portion for receiving a conductor of a cable. The terminal assembly includes a pin that fits into a socket portion of the socket assembly for mating the terminal and socket assemblies to form a rotational interface. To secure the assemblies together an outer groove is formed on an outer surface of the terminal assembly and an inner groove is formed in an inner surface of the socket portion. An expandable ring is positioned in the outer groove and is compressed to fit inside of the outer groove for mating the terminal assembly pin and the socket portion. When the assemblies are mated, the grooves align for allowing the ring to decompress into at least part of the inner groove to secure the mated terminal and socket assemblies together in the rotational interface.

    Abstract: An electrical connector assembly for use with conductors includes a pin assembly with a pin and a socket assembly to mate with the pin assembly. The socket assembly includes a socket body configured to receive the pin. A finger collar surrounds the socket body, and a locking collar surrounds and is rotatable on the finger collar. The locking collar moves between an unlocked position and a locked position. The finger collar includes one or more flexible fingers configured to flex to engage the pin assembly when it is mated with the socket assembly. The locking collar includes one or more windows that are in alignment with respective flexible fingers so the flexible fingers lex through the locking collar to engage the pin assembly and flex and grasp the pin assembly. The locking collar is further rotatable to the locked position that moves the windows out of alignment with the respective flexible fingers and prevents further flexing of the flexible fingers away from the pin assembly to lock the socket assembly in engagement with the pin assembly.

    Abstract: An electrical terminal for coupling to a conductive structure includes a body having a wire receiving portion for receiving a conductor. A cup portion is electrically coupled with the wire receiving portion and a boss portion extends from the cup portion. An overmold structure of insulation material is formed on the cup portion and covers the cup portion sides. An aperture is formed in the body and extends through the cup portion and the boss portion for receiving a post of the conductive structure for securing the terminal to the conductive structure. A fastener is configured for engaging a post and securing the boss portion against the conductive structure. The boss portion is configured to surround the aperture for providing an electrically conductive surface free from insulation material for interfacing with the conductive structure. The fastener and post are contained in the cup portion and an insulative cap is configured for engaging the overmold structure and sealing the cup structure around the fastener and post of a conductive structure.
