Abstract: A woven electrical transmission cable and method for the rapid repair of a defective electrical cable in an aircraft and the like is disclosed. A woven electrical transmission cable (A) for rapid repair includes longitudinal warp anchor cords (B) interwoven with warp and weft yarns (38, 40). The warp and weft yarns are woven in a prescribed pattern in which elongated electrical conductors (36) are bound in individual cells (22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32). A prescribed number of conductors (36) is included in each cell which may be easily traced and identified at opposing ends of the cable within the individual cells. This insures reliable termination at the ends of the cable. In accordance with the method, cable (A) is bonded to the skin (12a) of an aircraft adjacent access openings (14, 16) to repair a defective cable (11a ) which has been damaged by a bullet or shell through hole (11). Woven electrical repair cable (A) by-passes defective cable (11a) and may be terminated through the access openings.

Abstract: A crimp contact and method for terminating discrete electrical conductor wires with a printed circuit board includes a crimp contact A having a crimp barrel (10) in which wire (16) is crimped. A solder post (24) extends from a widened circular flange (22) which is integral with the crimp barrel. Spacer block (20) spaces circular flange (22) above plated through hole (32) so that a space is provided which may be completely filled with solder. A pair of quarter round seating sections (28 and 30) are formed on opposing surfaces (24a and 24c) of solder post (24). The remaining periphery of solder post is open at (42) to facilitate upward and complete flow of the solder.
