    Abstract: A connector system is provided that includes an electrical connector having a housing, a connector position assurance (CPA) element, and an actuator. The housing defines a socket that receives a mating connector. The CPA element is slidable relative to the housing between a released position and a locked position. The actuator is mounted on the housing in operable engagement with the CPA element. The actuator is moved from a blocking position to a clearance position as the mating connector is loaded into the socket. The actuator in the blocking position mechanically blocks the CPA element from being moved between the released position and the locked position. The actuator in the clearance position allows the CPA element to be moved between the released position and the locked position. The actuator attains the clearance position responsive to the mating connector being fully loaded in the housing.

    Abstract: A hybrid electrical connector is provided that includes a housing having a unitary, one-piece body that extends between a front end and an opposite rear end. The housing defines two adjacent cavities each extending between a respective mating opening at the front end and a respective cable opening at the rear end. The two cavities include a shielded cavity configured to hold a shielded contact subassembly therein and an unshielded cavity configured to hold an unshielded contact subassembly therein. The housing includes a first deflectable latch extending into the shielded cavity and directly engaging the shielded contact subassembly therein to secure the shielded contact subassembly within the housing. The housing further includes a second deflectable latch extending into the unshielded cavity and directly engaging the unshielded contact subassembly therein to secure the unshielded contact subassembly within the housing.

    Abstract: A connector assembly includes an electrical contact subassembly and an outer housing. The contact subassembly is terminated to an electrical cable. The outer housing defines a cavity and holds the contact subassembly in the cavity. A mating segment of the outer housing defines a socket of the cavity that is configured to receive a plug end of a mating connector assembly. The outer housing further includes an interface seal within the cavity. The interface seal is configured to engage the plug end of the mating connector assembly during a mating operation to seal an interface between the connector assembly and the mating connector assembly.

    Abstract: A header assembly includes an outer housing holding a center contact and a dielectric body. The outer housing has a rear shell and an outer contact extending forward from the rear shell. The outer contact has a catch extending therefrom positioned forward of the rear shell. The header assembly includes a nose cone coupled to the outer contact. The nose cone surrounds the outer contact. The nose cone has one or more keying ribs along an exterior thereof. The nose cone has a latch engaging the catch to secure the nose cone to the outer housing in one of at least two distinct rotational orientations.

    Abstract: An electrical connector includes an outer contact and a cavity insert. The outer contact has a mating segment, a terminating segment, and a middle segment therebetween. The cavity insert surrounds the middle segment of the outer contact. The cavity insert is defined by an upper shell and a lower shell that couple together at an interface. The upper shell extends along a portion of a perimeter of the outer contact, and the lower shell extends along a remaining portion of the perimeter of the outer contact. The upper shell includes a first strap that extends across the interface. The first strap includes a latching surface that engages a corresponding first catch of the lower shell to couple the upper shell to the lower shell.

    Abstract: An electrical connector includes an outer contact extending along a longitudinal axis between a front end and a rear end. The outer contact has a terminating segment that extends to the rear end and is configured to engage and be surrounded by a conductive layer of a cable to electrically connect the outer contact to the cable. The terminating segment is cylindrical and defines a chamber therethrough that is configured to receive one or more wires of the cable therein. The terminating segment has a crosshatch pattern along an outer surface thereof. The crosshatch pattern includes multiple grooves extending parallel to one another and multiple cross-grooves extending parallel to one another. The cross-grooves intersect the grooves to define multiple raised panels along the outer surface.
