An angled housing part for an electrical connector includes a first section having a first flange surface, a second section having a second flange surface, and a bellows section arranged between the first section and the second section. The first flange surface is angled with respect to the second section. The first section and the second section are movable relative to one another upon elastic deformation of the bellows section.

Angled housing part and angled housing assembly

A housing part for an electrical connector includes a cable channel receiving a cable, a flange surface adapted to abut a complementary housing part, and a sealing gasket extending along the flange surface. The sealing gasket has a pair of cable sealing portions extending across the cable channel. The cable sealing portions are spaced apart from one another in an axial direction of the cable channel.

A device for connecting one or more electrical connectors to a printed circuit board includes a casing, a printed circuit board supported within the casing, and a miniaturized connector system. The miniaturized connector system includes a connector element mounted on a main side of the printed circuit board. The connector element includes a main body connected to the printed circuit board and defining a receptacle, and a metal terminal electrically connected to the printed circuit board. The metal terminal is arranged inside the receptacle and cooperates with a terminal of a cable. The miniaturized connector system includes an auxiliary portion of the main body arranged on an extension of the main body and defining an extension portion of the receptacle. The auxiliary portion is an integral part of a portion of the casing and has at least one seat receiving the printed circuit board and positioning the printed circuit board.

A lighting device uses a plurality of lighting sources. The lighting device includes a printed circuit board having a main side on which the lighting sources are arranged side by side, the lighting sources are oriented so as to project an emitted light radiation in a direction perpendicular to the main side, a first support body supporting the printed circuit board in a horizontal direction, a second support body rigidly connected to the first support body to form a single casing, and a reflector element rigidly connected by a plurality of connecting members to the second support body. The reflector element has a plurality of reflective surfaces arranged side by side. Each of the reflective surfaces faces towards one of a plurality of channel-shaped portions of the second support body and directs the emitted light radiation to one of a plurality of lenses at ends of the channel-shaped portions.

A connector for connecting an electrical conductor to a glow plug of a diesel engine comprises an electrical receptacle terminal, a housing capable of receiving a terminal portion of the glow plug, and a bushing slidably mounted around the housing by engagement of a longitudinal guide rib disposed on an outer surface of the housing in a longitudinal guide groove disposed on an inner surface of the bushing. The housing has a substantially cylindrical tubular body containing the electrical receptacle terminal with an end opening defined by a pair of elastically deformable axial arms capable of engaging the terminal portion. The bushing is movable with respect to the housing from a pre-locking position to a locking position only when the housing is in a correctly mounted position on the terminal portion.

An electrical connector comprises a contact element capable of being coupled to a support element on which a wire is wound and a flexible sleeve mounted around the contact element to retain the contact element on the support element. The contact element has an inoperative undeformed position in which flexible walls of the contact element are outwardly divergent from one another and, when the contact element is fitted over the support element in the inoperative undeformed position, a cutting element of the contact element remains at a distance from the wire. The flexible sleeve is movable into a final operative position in which the flexible sleeve pushes the flexible walls toward an inwardly inclined position in which the cutting element cuts into the insulating material of the wire and forms an electrical connection with the wire.

An electrical connector comprises a first connector, a second connector matable with the first connector, an elastic clip mounted on the first connector and movable between an engagement position and a disengagement position, and a safety locking member slidably mounted on the first connector and movable between a pre-locking position and a locking position. The elastic clip is coupled to the second connector in the engagement position to keep the second connector mated with the first connector. The elastic clip enables decoupling of the first connector and the second connector in the disengagement position. The safety locking member contacts the elastic clip in the locking position and prevents movement of the elastic clip from the engagement position toward the disengagement position.
