In accordance with one aspect, a connector includes contacts meeting MIL-C-39029/57 or MIL-C-39029/58 without requiring a retaining clip to hold such contacts in place and without embedding such contacts in a plastic housing. The contacts are attached to electrical power or data conductors and loaded into apertures in a rear and front insert. The rear and front insert are held together by a rear and front shell so the contacts remain secure in the apertures. In accordance with another aspect, a latching mechanism provides a robust, reliable mechanism for securing a socket portion of a connector to a plug portion of a connector.

A latch system for a connector assembly, such as an electrical or fiber-optic connector assembly, includes a latch arm extending from one connector housing for engaging a corresponding catch of a mating connector housing. Some embodiments include a pair of opposing latch arms that slidably seat in a pair of opposing slots in the housing of the mating connector. In one embodiment, the connector housings of plug and socket connectors are identical, with latch arms and catches being interchangeable. Some embodiments include tactile features for indicating that the latch system is securely latched.

An electrical connector system includes a pin connector and a socket connector that each attach to a cable having multiple twisted pairs of wires. The connectors include features for shielding each pair of pin or socket contacts from the other pairs of pin or socket contacts to reduce interference and crosstalk. A contact-retaining shell of one of the connectors includes an integrally formed insertion plug having cantilever elements that electrically contact a conductive surface of the mating connector to provide a low-impedance pathway between the shell and the mating connector for purposes of grounding and/or shielding. The electrical connector system is designed to be readily disassembled and reassembled for repair or re-work without the use of special tools.

A board-mount electrical connector includes an electrically conductive rear shell interposed between a contact-retaining front body and an insulator member that holds a plurality of board-mount contacts. The rear shell includes at least one electrically conductive shielding divider that extends through the insulator member and is positioned between two or more of the board-mount contacts. Also disclosed is a rear shell elbow for an electrical connector that is assembled from a pair of slidably interlocking members that form an X-shaped divider within the rear shell when assembled.

A connector such as an electrical connector for a data cable assembly, preferably includes a frontshell mechanically fastened to a backshell with a gasket secured between. Mechanical fasteners apply force to the gasket and deform the gasket which forms a moisture ingress resistant seal between the frontshell and the backshell. A second moisture ingress resistant seal is formed over a strain relief that includes external grooves. An adhesive-lined heat-shrink tube mechanically grips the strain relief when heat is applied and the heat-shrink tube shrinks. The adhesive-lined heat-shrink tube also forms O-ring like seals in the grooves when heat is applied and the adhesive melts then re-solidifies in the grooves.

An electrical connector assembly comprises a main housing section and a strain relief member that is selectively connected to the main housing in one of a plurality of predetermined angularly offset positions each defining a corresponding exit path for a wire or cable that extends through the strain relief member and into the main housing section to terminate at a connector body of the electrical connector assembly, which is supported on the main housing section opposite the strain relief member. The main housing section and the strain relief member may be formed of a die-cast or molded electrically conductive material and may be closely mated together to shield the connector body and/or the wires from electro-magnetic interference (EMI).

A mechanism for attaching a structure to a relatively flat panel includes a housing containing an outer button which contains an inner button. Displacement of the inner button into the outer button causes a moveable attachment portion to partially collapse toward a centerline which permits the moveable attachment portion to pass through an engagement aperture in the panel. Movement of the outer button into the housing permits the moveable engagement portion to extend past a back surface of the panel to engage the back surface and hold the attaching structure to the panel via forces exerted by biasing members once the buttons are released.

A fiber optic socket contact includes a socket contact body and a capped sleeve containing a spring and a retention clip that engages a socket contact body. A fiber optic pin contact includes a pin contact body. One optical fiber is gripped by the socket contact body and another optical fiber is gripped by the pin contact body. When connector housings holding the fiber optic socket contact and the fiber optic pin contact are connected together, the fiber optic pin contact enters the capped sleeve which aligns the fiber optic pin contact with the fiber optic socket contact. The spring applies a force to keep the optical fibers pressed together. In preferred arrangements the fiber optic socket contact and the fiber optic pin contact have outer dimensions that substantially match outer dimensions specified for electrical socket and pin contacts.
