Abstract: A connecting tool for guiding a flexfoil into a connector element. The tool includes a guiding part that directs the flexfoil into the opening in the connector element. The tool also includes a crimping part that urges the clamps of the connector element against the flexfoil. The guiding part and the crimping part of the tool are movable relative to each other.

Abstract: A connector element for connecting a flexfoil and a pin-like contact member, the connector element being made of a conducting material and comprising a base part, at least one clamp extending from a first side of the connector element for clamping said flexfoil and at least one further clamp extending from a second opposing side of the connector element for clamping said flexfoil, and walls arranged relative to said base part to form a opening for receiving said pin-like contact member.

Abstract: Filter unit for connectors comprising at least a substrate (2) made of electrically insulating material and having two mutually opposite sides and through openings (3) for contact elements of the connector, capacitors being situated at least one of the two sides of the substrate in the region of the through openings, which capacitors each comprise at least one first conducting layer (5) in contact with the substrate, a dielectric layer (7) and a second conducting layer (9) and there being provided above each of the capacitors a cover layer (13, 22) composed of at least one first flexible layer (13) substantially covering the top surface of each of the capacitors and having a low moisture absorption coefficient and a high moisture diffusion coefficient and a second hard layer (22) at least entirely covering the first flexible layer and having a high moisture absorption coefficient and a low moisture diffusion coefficient.

Abstract: A pierce contact element for a connector with a housing in which the end of a cable with one or more insulated conductors is inserted. The pierce contact has a pointed part intended to pierce into an insulated conductor and a contact crown intended to make contact with the contact strip or contact wire of a matching connector housing. The contact crown is shaped so that its radius of curvature is larger than half the width of the contact crown in order to reduce wear on the surface contacting the strip or wire of the matching connector. In one embodiment, pierce contact is designed so that its pointed part pierces in the longitudinal direction into the end face of the conductor.

Abstract: Connector intended for attachment to the end of a cable consisting of one or more insulated conductors enclosed by a jacket, said connector comprising two housing parts which in the assembled state together define a passage having a first section designed to take the jacketed end of the cable, and a second section situated further in to take the insulated conductors projecting from the jacket. Both housing parts being provided at the first section with strain relief elements acting on the cable jacket in the assembled state, and one of the housing parts is provided at the second section with a pierce contact for each conductor.
