A spacer for maintaining one or more wires during a molding process, the spacer having an external frame, and a plurality of spring curved leaves. Each spring curved leaf has a fixed end attached to an inner face of the external frame and a free end. The free ends of the plurality of spring curved leaves are arranged to flexibly wrap the one or more wires.

Electrical power connector assembly

Connection assembly comprising a connector and a counter-connector. The shielding cage of the connector has attachment means which are formed by deformation of the shielding cage, without an opening being created. The attachment means are configured to prevent the internal element of the connecting casing from moving in translation with respect to the shielding cage, parallel to the coupling direction (A). The shielding cage is prevented from moving in translation parallel to the coupling direction (A) with respect to the external casing element with the aid of the retaining device.

Shielded connector assembly

Electrical connector comprising a detection device for detecting potential overheating, which comprises an electrically conductive element and an electrically insulating element inserted between the electrically conductive element and a low-voltage line. The electrically conductive element exerts an elastic force on the insulating element. For example, the electrically conductive element is a spring. In the event of overheating, the insulating element deforms under the pressure of the electrically conductive element and enables an electrical connection between two low-voltage lines. The overheating is detected as a consequence of the electrical design of this connection between the low-voltage lines.

Passive detection of overheating in a power connector

Connector assembly comprising a housing and a strain-relief device attached to the housing for clamping a cable in a fixed position at the rear opening of the housing. The strain-relief device comprises first and second portions, both made of a single part and being detachable from the housing. The first portion has a first arcuate surface engaging the outer sheath of the cable, and the first portion also comprising first retaining means engaging the housing for retaining the first portion on the housing. The second portion has a second arcuate surface also engaging the outer sheath, and the second portion also comprising second retaining means engaging the housing for retaining the second portion on the housing. Strain-relief device designed to be mounted on a connector. Method for mounting the strain-relief device with a connector assembly.

Connector assembly with strain relief device in two parts

The invention relates to a connector for motor vehicles. By means of the invention it is possible to cause a pawl and a detecting device the position of this pawl to interact so as to block the displacement of this detecting device when it is displaced from its delivery position into its use position and when the pawl protrudes due to incorrect positioning of a contact or a contact carrier module. To this end, the detecting device blocks the pawl, for example by said pawl being subjected to shear, in the position protruding between two surfaces of the detecting device.
