Abstract: A cable connector assembly includes a pair of sub-assemblies movable in translation relative to each other along a clamping direction and a tightening device tightening the sub-assemblies along the clamping direction. Each of the sub-assemblies is pivotable relative to a pivot axis extending perpendicular to the clamping direction. Each of the sub-assemblies has a main housing and a clamping part at least partially housed within the main housing. The clamping part is movable in translation relative to the main housing along the clamping direction. The tightening device tightens the sub-assemblies along the clamping direction with a first clamping region formed between the sub-assemblies that receives and clamps a first cable. A secondary clamping region is formed in each of the sub-assemblies between the clamping part and the main housing that receives and clamps a secondary cable.

Abstract: A method and device for pre-heating a first molding surface of a mold with an open position and a closed position defining a closed cavity between the first pre-heated molding surface and a second molding surface. A core is inductively heated outside the mold by placing the core inside a coil having an AC current passing there through. The core is inserted between the molding surfaces of the mold in the open position. The first molding surface is preheated by transferring the heat between the core and the first molding surface. The core is then removed and the mold is closed.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a device for molding of thermoplastic matrix composite materials or thermosetting materials. Two mold casings that are mobile relative to each other, electrically conductive material include a molding zone designed to be in contact with the material to be transformed, and an induction circuit for generating a magnetic field. The faces of one of the two mold casings are situated so as to be facing induction circuit, except for the molding zones, being coated with a shielding layer made of a non-magnetic material preventing the magnetic field from penetrating into the mold casings. The mold casings are electrically insulated from each other during the molding phase to define an air gap wherein flows the magnetic field that induces currents at the surface of the molding zones, thus localizing the heating at the interface between the molding zone and the material to be transformed.
