Abstract: A cable terminating apparatus for terminating a cable having a plurality of wires with a connector, the cable terminating apparatus includes a housing having a plurality of slots arranged for positioning the plurality of wires in a fixed spaced relationship relative to each other. A connector has a plurality of terminals corresponding to the plurality of wires. A squeezing tool has a recess configured for receiving the housing and the connector. The squeezing tool has a moveable plate for urging the connector and the housing against a support wall and into engagement with each other to electrically connect the plurality of terminals with the plurality of wires.

Abstract: A plug-in connection system, having contact paths (2; 3) that are inserted into lateral receiving pockets (1.2; 1.3) of an insulation body (1) and that are fixed with a positive fit in a final assembly position by sliding the contact paths in a longitudinal direction perpendicular to the insertion direction. Preferably, fixation elements (1.3; 1.4; 1.5; 1.6) on the insulation body prevent dislocation of each contact path (2; 3) in at least three directions. Specifically, bearing webs (1.3; 1.4) that respectively overlap each contact path prevent the contact path from moving in a direction opposite to the insertion direction. Limit stops (1.6) and a clamping web (1.5) that snaps behind the contact paths prevent displacement of the contact paths in the longitudinal direction and in the direction opposite the longitudinal direction once the contact paths reach the final assembly position.

Abstract: A cable structure for data signal transmission comprises a connector housing having a front end and a rear end and a plurality of electrical contacts positioned within the housing proximate the front end. The contacts are configured for engaging electrical contacts of a device when the cable structure is coupled to the device. At least one cable, including an electrical conductor, terminates in the connector housing, and is electrically coupled to a housing contact. The connector housing is physically coupled to a section of the cable rearwardly of the contacts for securing the cable with the connector housing. A protective clamp overlies the section of the cable coupled to the connector housing and is positioned between the connector housing and the cable section and provides mechanical protection for the cable section to reduce damage thereto.

Abstract: A low profile hermetic electrical connector includes a conductive layer with opposite first and second conductive layer surfaces. An inner electrical isolation layer is coupled between the first conductive layer surface and a first contact and an outer electrical isolation layer is coupled between the second conductive layer surface and a second contact. A contact interconnector electrically couples the first contact and the second contact through the inner electrical isolation layer, the conductive layer, and the outer electrical isolation layer without electrically contacting the conductive layer, creating a serpentine, low flow path for vapor through the adhesive layers. In a hermetic electrical cable end connector, the first contact is electrically coupled to a first conductor through a first interconnector and a second contact is electrically coupled to a second conductor through a second interconnector. Two additional electrical isolation layers are required.

Abstract: A connector adapted for connection to the terminal pins of an electrical or electronic device or circuit and which includes a planar contact assembly which is formed in a stamped integral planar frame retained within a two-piece housing with constituents of the housing operative to retain corresponding portions of the frame and wires connected thereto. The frame includes contact members and integral intermediate members which provide a unitary structure for ease of fabrication and handling. The unitary frame is installed in the housing as a unit and intermediate portions of the frame are later severed from the frame to provide individual contacts, each electrically connected to a respective wire of an associated cable.
