  • Patent number: 9419348
    Abstract: The connection refers to a connecting arrangement with a crimp connector (2) and a wire (3) fixed in place to the crimp connector. The crimp connector encompasses two clamping plates (4, 5) executed as one piece that, in a mounted state, clamp the wire (3) between them and while doing, so fix the wire (3) firmly in place with a force acting in longitudinal axial load direction (B). At least in the mounted state, the inner surfaces of the clamping plates face one another and are at least partially executed as level clamping surfaces (4a, 5a). In the mounted state, the clamping surfaces (4a, 5a) of the clamping plates (4, 5) make contact with one another, whereby an area of the wire section (3?) is pressed partially inside the one clamping plate and partially inside the other clamping plate (4, 5).

  • Patent number: 9267495
    Abstract: The invention refers to an actuator with a movable controlling element (7), a wire-shaped SMA element (2) for moving the controlling element in one direction, on whose at least one wire end (3) a connector (4) having a contact surface (13) and made of an electrically conductive material has been fixed, and a structural part (5) made at least partially from an electrically non-conductive plastic material, that has been provided with a conductive strip (6). The connector (4) is fixed to an area of the structural part made from non-conductive material, whereby as a result of that, the contact surface (13) is maintained in electrically conductive contact with the conductive strip (6).
