  • Electrical contact having improved locking lances
    Patent number: 5741162
    Abstract: Improved locking lance structure for an electrical contact having a body portion from which a locking lance is cantilevered from a base where the base is resiliently interconnected to the body portion to provide sufficient resiliency for easier seating of the contact within a passageway of a housing and sufficient resilience so that the locking lance may function to position the contact within the passageway.

  • Stranded electrical wire for use with IDC
    Patent number: 5696352
    Abstract: A multi-stranded electrical conducting wire has conducting strands surrounded by an insulative jacket. The strands have serrations around the circumference thereof to inhibit slipping movement between adjacent strands. This is particularly advantageous when used with IDC contacts whereby the reduced slipping increases the contact pressure and therefore electrical conductivity of the connection, in particular for connections subject to vibration or thermal contraction and expansion movements.
