The invention relates to an assembled electrical cable (1). The cable (1) has a cooling channel (2) extending along the center axis (M) of the cable (1) and at least one inner conductor (4) extending along the outer surface of the cooling channel (2). The cable (1) furthermore has a cable sheath (7) guiding the inner conductor (4) and the cooling channel (2) within itself and a contact element (9) for an electrical plug connector (10), wherein the contact element (9) is electrically and mechanically connected to at least one portion of the inner conductor (4) exposed from the cable sheath (7). According to the invention, the inner conductor (4) is integrally joined to the contact element (9) or is compacted in a planar manner in order to form the contact element (9).

An apparatus for conducting heat, including a substrate for receiving one or more electric components and a thermal substance circulation system. The substrate includes a first interface for receiving a first part of the thermal substance circulation system and a second interface for receiving a second part of the thermal substance circulation system such that the substrate is, when in use, in contact with the thermal substance of the circulation system between the first and the second interface. The substrate is heat conductive for transferring heat between the one or more electric components and the thermal substance of the circulation system.

A connector, and associated methods, connect conductors or conduits by twisting/wrapping multiple lines around the conductors/conduits after they are inserted into the connector. Flexible/bendable lines extend between relatively rotatable housing portions and through the interior of the connector, parallel to but distanced from the longitudinal axis of the connector. After inserting the conductors/conduits into the connector at/near the longitudinal axis, between the lines, the housing portions are rotated relative to each other, automatically twisting/wrapping the lines around the outer surfaces of the conductors/conduits. This way, the conductors are secured together in electrical contact, or the conduits are secured and fluid-sealed to a hollow tubular insert on which the conduits ends are placed and which connects the interior fluid passageways of the conduits.

An electrical connector is provided. The electrical connector may include a body; a terminal portion disposed on the body; and a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) electrically connected to the terminal portion, wherein the body includes a first part on which the terminal portion is disposed, a second part disposed on one side of the first part in a vertical direction, and a third part disposed on the other side of the first part and coupled to the second part, the FPCB includes a first region and a second region extending from the first region and including a contact point connected to the terminal portion, and the second region is disposed between the first part and the third part in a front-to-rear direction and is fixed to the first part.

A base of a connector defines an accommodation portion for accommodating a card-type device. The base has holding portions with surfaces directed to the accommodation portion. The holding portions hold held portions of terminals 40. Heat conductive members are provided on the surfaces of the holding portions. The heat conductive members are sandwiched between the card-type device and the holding portions when the card-type device is connected to the connector 10. In this way, heat conductive paths, which include the conductive members, are formed between the card-type device and held portions of the terminals 40.

Presented herein are optical module cage designs and heatsink configurations for improved air cooling of pluggable optical modules disposed within the optical module cages. The designs and configurations presented herein facilitate efficient air cooling of higher power pluggable optical modules by enhancing airflow through the optical module cages, increasing contact between the optical modules and the heatsinks, and/or increasing the heatsink dissipation surface area.

A cooling system for a power connector of a charging inlet assembly includes a cooling adapter coupled to a housing of the charging inlet assembly including an adapter body forming a cavity. The cooling adapter includes supply and return ports adjacent a cable exit. The cooling system includes a heat exchanger positioned in the cavity of the cooling adapter including a heat exchanger body configured to receive the power cable and/or the terminal. The heat exchanger body is thermally coupled to the power cable or the terminal to dissipate heat therefrom.

A device for connecting fluid lines and other lines. The device has a first connection component for connecting fluid lines and a second connection component for connecting other lines. The first connection component has a first functional position, in which the first connection component disconnects the two fluid lines from one another, and a second functional position, in which the first connection component connects two fluid lines. The second connection component, in a connection position, connects two other lines and, in a release position, disconnects the two other lines from one another.

A connector for controlling impedance for use in a connector assembly, the connector has a housing made of dielectric material. The housing has a first conductor receiving opening and a second conductor receiving opening which are dimensioned to receive exposed conductors of a cable. The first conductor receiving opening and the second conductor receiving opening have conductor receiving portions, the conductor receiving portions extending at an angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the housing. The first conductor receiving opening and the second conductor receiving opening have conductor spacing portions which extend from the conductor receiving opening. The conductor spacing portions extend in a direction which is essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the housing. The spacing portions are spaced apart by a distance. The dielectric material and the distance the spacing portions are spaced apart being selected to match the impedance of the cable.

An adapter probe configured for injecting fluid (e.g., liquid, gas) into at least one electrical cable. Particularly for injecting an electrical cable with a fluid when the electrical cable is affixed to a separable connector (e.g., elbow separable connector). Separable connector may be configured to connect sources of energy (e.g., transformer, circuit breaker) with distribution systems via electrical cable (or cable section).
