Abstract: An electric connector connectable to a mating electric connector includes and inner part, an outer part and a self-locking mechanism. The inner part is adapted to be connected to an electrical conductor. The outer part is adapted to connect to the mating electric connector. The inner and outer parts are connected coaxially and rotatably to one another. The self-locking mechanism selectively blocks rotation of one of the inner or outer parts with respect to the other one of the inner or outer parts in a first circumferential direction, and permits rotation of one of the inner or outer parts with respect to the other one of the inner or outer parts in a second circumferential direction opposite the first circumferential direction.

Abstract: Clamping device includes a clamp frame that is configured to move between an open configuration, in which the clamp frame is configured to receive at least one longitudinal element, and a closed configuration, in which the clamp frame wraps around and holds the at least one longitudinal element. The clamp frame includes a coupling end having an inner surface and a coupling base having an outer surface. The inner and outer surfaces have profiles that form a locked engagement to hold the clamp frame in the closed configuration. The clamping device also includes a secondary locking mechanism that secures the coupling end and the coupling base to each other. The secondary locking mechanism is activated after the clamp frame is held in the closed configuration by the locked engagement.

Abstract: A cable tie includes a belt, a head connected to the belt and having a passageway for receiving the belt, and a lock disposed in the head. The lock is displaceable parallel to a plane of the passageway along a stroke and has a protrusion configured to lock the belt.

Abstract: There is provided a cable breakout support, comprising a clamp for clamping to a trunking, and a clip for clipping to a cable breakout of a cable bundle supported in the trunking. Each clamp comprises at least two trunk fittings for fitting to at least two respective bulbous longitudinal edges of the trunking; and a clip fitting for connecting to a respective clip.

Abstract: A flexible circuit to wire transition member and method which transitions wires connected to a standard wire termination connector to a flexible circuit. The transition member includes a housing with a flexible circuit receiving recess provide proximate a first surface of the housing. A wire receiving recess is provided in the housing proximate a first surface of the housing. A contact extends between the flexible circuit receiving recess and the wire receiving recess, the contact provides an electrical connection between a flexible circuit received in the flexible circuit receiving recess and a wire received in the wire receiving recess.

Abstract: A two-component device for supporting and retaining a cable or wire bundle in a channel comprises support part with a support surface in which is formed an elongate recess for a cable tie. The upper part lifts on to a lower part and it secured to the floor of the channel, by means of rivets or the like. The support part has an integral tie bar extending across the elongate recess. The lower part has a corresponding tie bar extending across it, between opposed side walls of the lower part. With the wire bundle in place, the cable tie is passed around it and through the recess, passing under the respective tie bars and secured at to hold the bundle in place against the support, at the same time holding the two parts of the support together.

Abstract: A connector (100) for making an electrical connection between two plates (110, 120) that are mechanically secured to one another, the connector comprising a first socket (50) for fixing to a first plate (110), a second socket (60) for fixing to a second plate (120), and a connector pin (150), the first and second sockets both comprising an aperture (55, 65) for receiving the connector pin (150), wherein the connector further comprises a first spring (161) for contacting between the connector pin and the first socket, and a second spring (162) for contacting between the connector pin and the second socket.

Abstract: There is disclosed a connector system (500) comprising a contact pin (400) and a socket (200) for receiving the contact pin. The contact pin comprises a first groove (402) extending around the axis (410) of the contact pin; a coiled spring (404) within the first groove; and a set of teeth (406) extending around the axis of the contact pin. The socket (200) comprises a cup portion (202). The cup portion comprises a set of teeth (206) extending around the axis (210) of the cup portion (202) and for engaging with the teeth (406) of the contact pin; and a first contact surface (518) inside the cup portion and extending around the axis (210) of the cup portion for contacting the coiled spring (404) of the contact pin.
