Abstract: The device is provided with at least one laser diode (2) and two electric connecting members for connection to an electric power supply (8) for supplying said at least one laser diode. It includes two elements (14, 16) which can be elastically deformed or moved, which are conductive electrically and arranged in a base electrically insulated from the two connecting members. The two elastically deformable or moveable elements are electrically connected and arranged so as to abut against two respective contact surfaces (34, 36) of the two connecting members when the device is not connected to said power supply by means of an external connector (40) which is complementary to the two electric connecting members. The two elastically deformable or moveable elements are respectively separated from the two connecting members when the external connector is introduced or are able to be respectively separated from said two connecting members when the external connector is introduced.

Abstract: A hermetic compressor assembly including a housing; an electric motor disposed in the housing; a compression mechanism disposed in the housing and operatively coupled to the motor; a terminal assembly comprising a terminal body extending through and sealingly attached to the housing, at least one elongate conductor pin having interior and exterior ends, the interior pin end located inside the housing, the exterior pin end located outside the housing, and an insulator disposed between the pin and the terminal body, whereby the pin is electrically insulated from the terminal body by the insulator; a lead wire extending between the motor and the interior pin end, the lead wire having an electrical connection to the pin, the motor and the pin electrically connected by the lead wire, the lead wire having an insulative jacket; and an insulative covering which extends between the terminal body and the lead wire jacket, the insulative covering covering at least a portion of the terminal body, the insulator, the elect
