Abstract: Temperature sensor in plug form comprises a plastic body member having a bore with a metallic sensing member in one end, a thermistor in the bore, and a contact member with a spring portion in the bore and a contact portion extending through a slot in the body member from the bore to the other end of the body. Contact portion has electrical terminal for wire attachment and spring portion maintains contact with thermistor. Sensing member has retaining arms which extend into grooves in threaded cylindrical surface of body which are threaded as body is screwed into place in an engine block.

Abstract: A strain relief bushing having camming strain relief means for grasping a cord located therein. The strain relief bushing may be rotatably engaged and disengaged. It may be applied to existing cord, located in an aperture for later cord application or applied contemporaneously therewith.

Abstract: A multi contact electrical connector for interconnection of a ground-signal multi-conductor flat cable to a plurality of electric circuit elements such as terminal posts extending from a panel is disclosed. The connector includes a plurality of discrete terminals in a multi-contact insulating housing with a ground bus mounted on the housing. Conductor template surfaces are located on oppositely facing insulating cover members. The free ends of the conductors in the flat cable are reoriented during assembly of the connector so that proper ground and signal electrical terminations can be established using slotted plate terminal members located on centerlines differing from that employed in the cable itself.

Abstract: A stamped and formed connector for connecting semi-rigid conduit to electric boxes is disclosed. The subject connector is stamped from flat sheet metal stock in continuous fashion and is subsequently formed to have a conduit engaging portion and a connector box engaging portion. An end of a length of semi-rigid conduit is securely held in an aperture in the base of the connector while the connector itself can be readily mounted in an aperture of a junction box or the like.

Abstract: A two piece electrical terminal for use with stranded electrical wires such as those used in aluminum utility cables is disclosed. A device for establishing this electrical termination comprises two mutually rotatable members each having eccentric bores. Misalignment of the bores results in the establishment of intimate metal-to-metal contact between the individual strands and between the outer strands and with the die-cast body of the connector.
