A coaxial cable connector generally includes a connector body, a nut rotatably coupled to the connector body, a post disposed in the connector body and a biasing element acting between the post and the nut. The nut has an internal thread for engagement with an external thread of a mating connector. The internal thread of the nut and the external thread of the mating connector can be mismatched, wherein an interference fit is created therebetween upon connection of the nut to the mating connector. Also, the post can have a forward flanged base portion disposed within the axial length of the internally threaded surface of the nut, which, together with the biasing element, provides a constant force between the post and the nut.

A click-tight coaxial cable continuity connector is provided comprising a connector body, a post engageable with connector body, the post including a flange having a plurality of spaced-apart surface features. A nut is rotatably movable with respect to the post, wherein the nut includes an internal lip having a plurality of spaced-apart surface features, wherein the plurality of spaced-apart surface features of the nut are dimensioned to oppositely correspond in size, number and location to the plurality of spaced-apart surface features of the post. A click-tight continuity member is structurally configured to operably correspond with the dimensions of the plurality of spaced-apart surface features of the nut and also the spaced apart surface features of the post, the click-tight continuity member residing between the nut and the post. When the nut is rotated with respect to the post, the click-tight continuity member affords intermittent rotational resistance upon the nut, via structurally-induced compression forces resultant when the plurality of spaced-apart surface features of the nut are not oppositely correspondingly aligned with the plurality of spaced-apart surface features of the post.

An modular plug includes a plug main body that can be inserted into and removed from a connector; an engaging claw configured to engage the plug main body with the connector; and an operations lever configured to turn off engagement of the plug main body and the connector by the engaging claw; wherein a lock turning-off member is provided at the plug main body so that the lock turning-off member can be slid in inserting and removing directions; an inclination surface of the lock turning-off member is formed in a position facing the operations lever; and the inclination surface operates the operation lever accompanying sliding in the inserting direction of the lock-turning off member so that the engagement of the engaging claw and the connector is turned off.

The present disclosure relates to modular plugs including a housing for holding a plurality of terminals that are engageable with contacts of a mating plug receptacle. The modular plug further includes a slider latch having a distal end portion integrally formed with the housing, a proximal end portion configured and adapted for operative engagement with the housing, and an intermediate portion disposed between the distal end portion and the proximal end portion. The intermediate portion defines at least one flex point. Accordingly, when the proximal end portion of the slider latch is operatively connected to the housing, the intermediate portion of the slider latch defines an anti-snag feature. The slider latch facilitates locking and unlocking of the modular plug with a plug receptacle when in a densely packed array.

A female terminal receptor for an automotive fuse or a terminal includes three or more pairs of opposing beams and at least one U-shaped clamping member. The U-shaped clamping member has a first base portion laterally disposed between two pairs of opposing beams and at least one pair of first end portions disposed over at least one pair of opposing beams for applying a predetermined compression force. The opposing beams have a first metallic composition and the U-shaped clamping member has a second metallic composition, wherein the first metallic composition has a higher conductivity than the second metallic composition, and wherein the second metallic composition has a higher relaxation temperature than the first metallic composition.

A connector comprising:a body for plugging in or on the body of a complementary connector along a plugging axis X-X′;connection means for co-operating with complementary connection means of the complementary connector so as to connect together electrical or optical conductors; anda locking sleeve that surrounds the body of the connector and that is adapted to co-operate with the body of the connector and with locking means provided by the complementary connector in such a manner as to block relative movement between the connector and the complementary connector in the plugging direction, the locking sleeve being movable in rotation about the axis relative to the body of the connector between an unlocking position in which the connectors can be separated and a locking position in which the connectors cannot be separated;wherein the connector includes a brake ring that co-operates with the body of the connector by being movable at least in rotation about the axis between a braking position in which the ring opposes any turning of the locking sleeve and a disengaged position in which the ring does not oppose any turning of the locking sleeve.
