Abstract: An electrical connector configured for connection with a flat cable includes a housing and a wedge, in some configurations. The housing may include an internal cavity, a slot in communication with the cavity and configured for receiving said flat cable, and/or a contact plate disposed within the cavity. The wedge may be configured for connection with the contact plate. The housing and the wedge may be configured to secure a portion of said flat cable in the cavity. An electrical assembly may include the electrical connector, a second electrical connector having an identical configuration as the electrical connector, said flat cable, and/or a second flat cable. In an assembled configuration, the second electrical connector may be connected to the electrical connector such that said flat cable is electrically connected to the said second flat cable.

Abstract: An angle clip assembly includes a first guide. The first guide has a first guide surface. A first retainer is adapted to retain a first part of a flat flexible cable on the first guide surface. The angle clip assembly also includes a second guide. The second guide has a second guide surface. A second retainer is adapted to retain a second part of the flat flexible cable on the second guide surface. The second guide is rotatable relative to the first guide about a lock axis to one of a plurality of assembly angles. The angle clip assembly includes a radial lock. The radial lock prevents rotation of the first guide relative to the second guide.

Abstract: A cable retainer for connecting a flat cable to an external object may include a base and/or a locking member. The base may include a platform, a securing protrusion, and/or a fastener. The securing protrusion may extend from the platform in a first direction and the fastener may extend from the platform in a second direction opposite the first direction. The fastener may be configured for connection with said external object. The locking member may include an interior surface defining a hole and an internal connection formation extending from at least a portion of the interior surface. In an assembled configuration, the locking member may be connected to the base, and the cable retainer may be configured to secure a portion of said flat cable between the platform of the base and the locking member.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a housing. The housing defines a terminal cavity that extends along a connector axis. The terminal cavity has a height that is perpendicular to the connector axis. The terminal cavity has a width that is perpendicular to the connector axis and also perpendicular to the height. The width is greater than the height. The terminal cavity adapted to accommodate a flat cable inserted in an insertion direction parallel to the connector axis. The electrical connector also includes a polarizer that extends parallel to the height. The polarizer is located within the width. The polarizer is adapted to prevent insertion into at least part of the terminal cavity.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a housing with a housing body and a cover mount. The housing has a cable cavity that extends through the cover mount along a connector axis. The electrical connector includes a first cover. The first cover is located on the first side of the connector axis. A second cover is located on a second side of the connector axis. The first cover engages the second cover to retain the covers in their relative positions. The covers also engage the cover mount to retain their position relative to the housing.

Abstract: An electrical terminal includes a contact portion that is adapted to engage a complementary contact and is connected to a transition portion. The electrical terminal also includes a crimp portion. The crimp portion includes a crimp base that extends in a first crimp direction from the transition portion to a base end. Two first crimp wings are located on opposite sides of the crimp base and extend in a second crimp direction. The first crimp wings are separated from each other by a width. Two second crimp wings are also located on opposite sides of the crimp base and extend in the second crimp direction. The second crimp wings are also separated from each other by the width.

Abstract: A method of attaching an electrical terminal to a flat flexible cable includes the step of deforming crimp wings on an electrical terminal to engage a flat flexible cable.
