Abstract: The seal spring of the present invention has a dual functionality. The seal spring provides both a sealing property and spring function in use within an electrical connector system, which is accomplished by its elastomeric qualities. The seal spring is preferably comprised of Silicone, EPDM rubber or materials and compositions that provide similar performance during use, or the like. The seal spring of the present invention is not limited or defined into a spring section or a seal section by its geometry. Shown is an implementation of the seal spring within a conductive female housing and connector assembly. The seal spring compresses and provides adequate spring force against a disk ferrule assembly, pressing the disk ferrule assembly, with a wire shield, against a conductive female outer housing, providing a grounding scheme for the connector assembly. The seal spring also seals against the female outer housing and a wire.

Abstract: A connector includes a metal housing, an insulating body received in the metal housing, a conductive terminal held in the insulating body and electrically connected to a wire introduced into the metal housing, and a conductive shield mounted in the metal housing and sleeved on a conductive shielding layer of the wire. The conductive shield has a C-shaped ring adapted to electrically and elastically contact an inner wall of the metal housing and a plurality of elastic arms connected to a side of the C-shaped ring and adapted to electrically and elastically contact the conductive shielding layer.

Abstract: Technologies are described for devices and methods to splice two contacts of a cable. The assemblies may comprise a first and second sealing boot each configured to slide onto and form a seal to the cable. The assemblies may comprise a pin contact and a socket contact. A first side of the pin contact may be configured to receive wires from the cable. A second side of the pin contact may be configured to mate with the socket contact. A first side of the socket contact may be configured to receive wires from the cable. A second side of the socket contact may be configured to mate with the pin contact. The assemblies may comprise a housing with a tube shaped body and a grommet at a first and second end. Each grommet may be configured to form a seal to the first sealing boot or the second sealing boot.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a conductive terminal and an electrical connector assembly. A high power electrical connector is provided for transmitting electrical signals from a pair of cables, such as high current capable cables, to an associated member, such as a dash panel. The high power electrical connector includes an insulative housing and a pair of contact path assemblies therethrough for transmission of the electrical signals. The cables include a shield layer that is biased to the backshell providing a ground path for the cables and connector.

Abstract: A connecting end portion of a shield pipe with respect to a shield member is waterproofed. A shield conduction path includes: a shield pipe having a connecting end portion opened obliquely downward; a braided wire fasten to an outer periphery of the portion by a swaging ring; a plurality of wires inserted into the pipe and braided wire; a rubber shield grommet and surrounding a fastening region between the braided wire and swaging ring; a binding band that fixes an upper end portion of the grommet to an outer periphery of the pipe in a liquid tight manner; a tube formed of synthetic resin surrounding the braided wire and having an upper end portion surrounding a lower end of the grommet; and exterior adhesive tape wound in a liquid tight manner from an outer periphery of the upper end portion of the tube over an outer periphery of the grommet.

Abstract: A sheathed wire harness includes connectors to be fitted to counterpart connectors, electric wires connected to the connectors, and a fibrous resin cloth that is connected to the electric wires and surrounds the electric wires. The resin cloth includes a cover portion that can be moved to a closed position in which portions of the electric wires near the connectors are covered, and moved to an open position in which the portions of the electric wires near the connectors are exposed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a wiring harness having a plurality of electrical wires and a tubular shielding member capable of accommodating the plurality of electrical wires as a whole therein. The wiring harness includes a plurality of electrical wires; and a tubular shielding member configured to receive the plurality of electrical wires as a whole, and coupled to a shield part of a device side via a tubular terminal portion thereof. The tubular shielding member includes a shielding body portion disposed over a bundled portion in which the plurality of electrical wires is bundled as a whole, and a shielding terminal portion disposed over an enlarged portion which gradually enlarges from the bundled portion in conformity with terminal arrangement of the plurality of electrical wires or a shape of the shield part of the device side, and continuous with at least one end of the shielding body portion. The shielding body portion is formed of metallic film and the shielding terminal portion is formed of braid.

Abstract: Cable interconnection terminated by a pin or socket includes a housing, an inner conductor arranged in the housing and having a first end adapted to couple to the pin or socket, and an outer sheath adapted to couple to an outer sheath of a cable including at least one conductor, e.g., a coaxial cable, twin-axial cable or tri-axial cable. The interconnection also includes first and second pins. The first pin is arranged at a second end of the inner conductor while the second pin is electrically connected to the outer sheath. The first and second pins each have a mating portion, and both mating portions terminate at a common plane a set distance from the housing. This termination in a common plane, substantially perpendicular to the axial direction of the pins, enables the cable to mate with a wide range of electronic componentry.

Abstract: A connector assembly includes an outer housing, an electromagnetic shield, and a plug. The outer housing includes an interior chamber and an opening. The electromagnetic shield is disposed within the outer housing and includes a conductive body having an interior compartment with an aperture. The plug is disposed in the opening of the outer housing and is engaged with the shield around the aperture of the shield. The plug seals the opening in the outer housing and the aperture in the shield to prevent ingress of contaminants into the interior chamber of the outer housing. The plug also restricts emission of electromagnetic interference from the interior compartment of the shield.

Abstract: A fixing structure includes: a shield electric wire; a shield shell having a small diameter part having a hollow tubular-shape through which the exposed part passes, and an outer periphery being covered with an end of a peeled braided part of the shield electric wire, and a main body part having a hollow shape extended from the small diameter part and through which the shield electric wire passes; a shield ring clamped to the small diameter part under a state that the end of the peeled braided part is located between the shield ring and the small diameter part; and an inner holder that is inserted into and fixed to an inner part of the main body part under a state that the shield electric wire passes through the inner holder.

Abstract: An electrical connector having a contact connection portion electrically shielded better than heretofore. The connector is reduced in size and cost. The connector has contacts connected with a signal line, an insulative housing, and a metal shell surrounding and electrically shielding the housing except for a connection portion that is a region necessary for connection with a mating member. The housing has accommodation portions for receiving the contacts. A part of the metal shell has a shielding wall surface surrounding the entire outer periphery of a peripheral wall forming the connection portion of the housing with a given gap therebetween. The four sides of the shielding wall surface have lock portions by which the receptacle connector of the mating member is engaged and anchored.
