A failure detection method in a charging connector locking system includes transmitting, by the main controller, an initial command that is received from the charge controller to the locking device; monitoring, by the main controller, whether the initial command is normally executed by the locking device; and determining, by the main controller, whether a failure occurs in the locking device by monitoring whether the initial command is executed while transmitting, to the locking device, a lock command and an unlock command alternately at predetermined time intervals within a predetermined number of times when the initial command is not normally executed, thereby determining the failure of the locking device with high accuracy.

A cable combination device includes joint terminals configured to be mounted at a joint part formed by jointing a main cable and a branch cable to each other to fix the main cable and the branch cable; a housing configured to have the joint part inserted and mounted therein; and a clip configured to be provided on the housing and fixed to a vehicle body, such that moisture introduction may be prevented by improving water proof performance of the cable, and the cable may be stably mounted in a vehicle by the clip. Therefore, a wiring of the vehicle may be lightened, and at the same time, a cost may be decreased, thereby making it possible to improve marketability.

A power control system and method for vehicle power outlets is provided which integrally controls power of power outlets mounted in a vehicle to improve the efficiency of power distribution in the vehicle and enable ordinary use of the power outlets while the vehicle is turned off. To this end, the power control system includes a startup power source configured to supply power to a plurality of power outlets mounted in a vehicle while the vehicle is turned on, a battery power source configured to supply power to the power outlet while the vehicle is turned off, and a controller configured to detect whether the vehicle is turned on, a battery charge capacity, and an electric current consumption quantity of each of the plurality of power outlets and determine a type of power that should be supplied to each power outlet and whether to supply power to each power outlet.

A connector for a flat cable is provided that prevents damage to a conductor when a terminal is forcedly pressed to a flat cable. The connector for a flat cable includes a retainer that is coupled to flat cable while a portion of the flat cable covers an upper side of a plate-shaped body of the retainer. In addition, a housing is coupled to enclose the body of the retainer and the portion of the flat cable coupled to the body and has a plurality of exposure depressions for exposing exposed conductors at a portion of the flat cable coupled to opposite surfaces of the body to the exterior to connect the conductors to terminals. A position fixing unit is configured to fix a position of the flat cable coupled between the housing and the retainer.

Connector for flat cable

A waterproof connector for a vehicle includes a front holder mounted on a front side of a main housing via a front seal for watertight, and having terminal-connecting holes. The front seal and the front holder are disposed inside the first mounting hole sequentially. An inner housing with a terminal is mounted to a rear side of the main housing and has terminal insertion holes. A subcover is disposed at a rear side of the inner housing. Each terminal has a connector portion disposed inside a terminal-connecting hole of the front holder, and a wire-welding portion is disposed inside a terminal insertion hole of the inner housing. Watertight and vibration-absorbing materials are attached to a lower side of an upper cover and an upper side of a lower cover of the subcover to protect the wire-welding portions of the terminals.
