Abstract: An electrical contact or electrical contact system includes a connector and a conductive band, the band configured to be disposed within a groove in the connector. The groove may include an undercut configured to receive and secure a portion of the band. The band may be ladder-like in structure, with a plurality of rung-like elements separating a pair of rails, and the portion of the band that may be received by the groove preferably corresponds to no more than at least a part of one rail. The system also may include a retention element, such as a snap ring, which may be configured to fill in the portion of the groove not occupied by the band, thereby holding the band in place and preventing it from becoming dislodged.

Abstract: An electrical connector system including contacts configured to electrically couple to cables at one end and to one another at the other end. Contacts may be housed in rubberized insulations, which in turn may be housed in various types of receptacles, e.g., bulkhead mounts, wall mounts, in line connectors, or caps. Male contact may be disposed within opening of female contact, but insulation surrounding male contact may be configured to envelope insulation surrounding female contact. As a result, an overall diameter of insulations and contacts may be reduced significantly, permitting the use of receptacles sized to accommodate openings previously reserved for metal-on-metal insulating connection systems.
