Abstract: A power cord electric connection structure includes a power cord and a terminal socket that are electrically connected in a vertical direction. The power cord has a connecting portion in which the conductive core is bare and exposed outside the insulation layer. The terminal socket has a coupling trough which contains a conductive terminal to form a plane contact with the bare conductive core so that a secure electric connection is established, and wiring management of the power cord and terminal socket is easier.

Abstract: An electric connection box provided with a wiring board 20 having an electric wire 21 arranged on both surfaces of an obverse surface 20a and a reverse surface 20b, an obverse cover arranged on the obverse surface 20a of the wiring board 20 and having a connector cavity, a reverse cover arranged on the reverse surface 20b of the wiring board 20 and having a connector cavity, and press contact terminals 10, 10A and 10B each having a press contact edge portion 11 pressed onto the electric wire 20 and a tab portion 12 and/or 13 erected in the connector cavity, wherein the press contact terminal 10, 10A or 10B presses the press contact edge portion 11 onto the electric wire 21 from a side where the electric wire 21 is arranged, thereby selectively erecting the terminal portion 12 and/or 13 on both surfaces of a surface having the electric wire 21 arranged thereon and/or a surface opposite to the surface.

Abstract: Systems for electrically interconnecting components are provided. One such system comprises: a flex cable having a first end and a second end; a first connector attached to and electrically communicating with the first end of the flex cable; a second connector attached to and electrically communicating with the second end of the flex cable; and a first retention member extending outwardly from the flex cable.

Abstract: A contact element having at least one leaf spring 2,3 has a U-shaped contact means 6, the two U-legs 8,9 of which taper towards their ends and can be elastically deformed with respect to each other. This contact element 1 is introduced into a guide groove 22 of a guide rail 13 of a module support structure or the like. The leaf springs 2,3 thereby contact a printed circuit board which can be inserted into the module support structure and the contact means 6, together with guide rail 13, can be clamped in a positioning hole 15 of a module rail 16 of the module support structure to thereby establish electrical contact with the module rail 16. In this manner, the interfering effect of an anodized layer on the module rail 16 is circumvented.

Abstract: A clamping bracket connects an electrical wire to a lip of a grounded utility box so as to ground the wire. The bracket has U-shaped portions and a threaded stud which moves an annular abrading end surface with a center cone point into engagement with the metal plate lip when located between the U-shaped portions. The rear planar member of the U-shape is formed by a leaf spring which slants inwardly and bends rearwardly until the leaf spring is approximately parallel with the front planar member due to engagement of a stop surface on the stud with the front planar member. A plurality of barbs located on the leaf spring assist to prevent inadvertent movement during tightening. The front planar member of the U-shape has side ribs which strengths the front planar member and space a threaded bore from the metal plate lip.

Abstract: An electrical connection arrangement between a contact element (13) and connection wire (12)is designed in such a way that reliable contact-making is possible in a simple manner and with the capability of automation. For this purpose, the connecting arrangement has a receptacle (11), in which the connecting wire (12) is held in the form of a winding having a plurality of turns. The contact element (13) provided with cutting edges (32) can be plugged into the receptacle (11). The outer delimitations of the turns of the connecting wire (12) and the cutting edges (32) are inclined with respect to one another in their longitudinal extent, with the result that, in the case of a plug-in movement of the contact element (13) into the receptacle (11), said contact element enters into a cutting connection on a plurality of turns of the connecting wire (12). This connection arrangement is used, inter alia, when contact is made between the connecting wires (12) of coils.

Abstract: A versatile terminal members useable in any type of ribbon cable connectors has a generally elongated stem, contact and positioning prongs extending generally parallel to each other from a generally intermediate portion of the stem in one direction, and a pair of lead elements extending generally parallel to each other from opposite ends of the stem in a direction counter to the one direction. One of the lead elements is adapted to be trimmed off from the stem depending on the type of ribbon cable connector in which the very terminal member is to be mounted. A terminal array is also provided which comprises a series of the versatile terminal members which are connected together by means of a metal carrier strip at intervals of a predetermined pitch, but which can be separated from the metal carrier strip to provide the individual terminal members that can be subsequently trimmed to suit to a particular type of cable connectors.

Abstract: A connector and method of termination for high speed signal cable of small physical dimension. The connector embodies a wire manager plastic fixture (22) into which the fine signal and ground wires (18,20) of a cable (10) are inserted and folded back in a precise location to form an ensemble. This ensemble has a geometry to allow ease of handling and orientation to be inserted into the rear portion of a connector (40) with the wires (18,20) sliding in engagement with slotted connector blade portions (42,46) to assure proper assembly. Blade portions (42,46) are radially forced inwardly to cause the wires (18,20) to be captured in slots therein (44,48) to be additionally terminated as by welding. A variety of types of connector front ends are disclosed.

Abstract: Connector plug comprises an insulating housing having a conductor-receiving opening extending into its conductor receiving end and substantially to the leading end. The conductors extending into the opening are in parallel side-by-side relationship at the leading end. The contact members extend through openings in one of the housing sidewalls to the conductor-receiving openings. The contact members have plate-like portions having conductor-receiving slots by means of which contact is established. The plate-like portions of the contact members are arranged in a row with the planes of the plate-like portions extending diagonally with respect to the axes of the conductors. The contact members have external contact portions which extend to the leading end of the housing and partially across the leading end.
