Abstract: An electrical terminal is disclosed having a crimp barrel. The crimp barrel has a base; and opposing side walls extending from the base and each has an opposing end region. The opposing side walls have a conductor receiving region in which the sidewalls have an F-crimp when crimped to stripped conductors of a wire; a wire insulation receiving region for receiving an insulation covered portion of the wire; and a transition region positioned between the conductor receiving region, and the wire insulation receiving region. The opposing end regions in the transition region are overlapped in the circumferential direction when crimped to surround the wire.

Abstract: An electrical connector (2) housing (1) for connecting at least one cable lug (31) to a threaded terminal of an electrical device (4), including, for each lug, a hole (11) for receiving a screw (12) for retaining a lug in a threaded terminal, which hole has a lateral slot (13) designed to allow a lug to penetrate the hole, a lower opening (14) for connecting the lug to a threaded terminal and an upper opening (15) designed to allow the passage of a screwing tool for the screw, the size of the upper opening of the hole at its widest point being strictly less than the size of the hole at its widest point, said opening being designed so as to allow the passage of the screwing tool and having a section which is less than the section of a human finger.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly including a first and a second connector, the first connector including a terminal unit and a housing having a wall section, where the terminal unit protrudes from the wall section enabling the first connector to be mated with the second connector. The terminal unit is movable with respect to the wall section. In a first state, the terminal unit protrudes from the wall section. In a second state, the terminal unit is lowered under, or aligned with the wall section.

Abstract: A connector assembly having a trough-shaped accommodating part and a plug part which can be plugged into the latter where the plug part has an essentially rectangular cross-section and in the vicinity of the two end edges, a safety rib extends in the plugging direction outward therefrom in such a way that the width the respectively opposite safety ribs is greater than the width of the basic plug part and the accommodating part has a plug channel with safety grooves for accommodating the safety ribs in the longitudinal side walls such that the plug part is receivable therein, the plug part having a surrounding housing and a socket housing that can be telescopically pushed into the surrounding housing through an insertion opening on a transverse side surface and complementary latching structure is provided on the surrounding housing and on the socket housing, for the purpose of latching the socket housing in the surrounding housing where the safety ribs are fitted to the socket housing or the surrounding housin

Abstract: A fused battery terminal has a stamped and formed terminal member an insulative housing integrally molded over power supply line connection bolts, and a battery post mounting member attached to the terminal member. The terminal member is rigidly attached to the insulative support member thereby providing a safe and rigid support for a fuse link which is integral with the terminal member. Power supply lines can thus be clamped against connection platforms of the terminal member by the bolt and are thus directly connected to the battery post via the fuse link. Safety and reliability of the fuse connection between the battery and power supply line are thus enhanced due to the integral forming of the fuse line onto the battery post connection section.

Abstract: A tab terminal comprises a box-shaped body section having short circuit cantilever beam spring members projecting outwardly from side walls thereof. The terminals are for mounting in a connector assembly matable to a complementary connector assembly for applications such as automotive airbags where a short circuiting function is required between adjacent terminals of a connector assembly. Spring members of adjacent terminals thus abut and electrically contact each other when mounted in a connector assembly that is disconnected. The complementary connector assembly has a wall portion that is insertable between the contacting spring members for separation thereof when the assemblies are mated.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly comprises terminals having an inner body and an outer body. The inner body is provided with cantilever beam locking lances that are positioned in slots of the outer body. The outer body thus protects the locking lance from catching onto foreign objects. This is particularly advantageous for insertion and retraction through a sealing member. The slot may also provide polarization of the terminal in a connector housing cavity.
