A vehicular camera includes a front housing portion, a first circuit board having an imager, a second circuit board in board-to-board electrical connection with the first circuit board, and a rear housing portion having a connector for electrically connecting to an electrical connection of a wire harness of a vehicle. The rear housing portion joined with the front housing portion forms a camera housing. The connector of the rear housing portion includes a multi-pin connector having at least three terminals that, with the rear housing portion joined with the front housing portion, electrically connect to respective terminals of the electrical connector at the second circuit board. An electrically conductive metallic shield element is disposed at the rear housing portion and contacts the electrical connector at the second circuit board. The vehicular camera is configured to be mounted at a rear portion of the vehicle and viewing rearward of the vehicle.

The present invention relates to a flexible connector for attaching electrical accessories to an industrial battery electrical cable. The connector includes a housing and an electrically conductive pin that is positioned within the housing and protrudes through a cable mating surface of the housing. The connector also includes a fuse positioned within the housing and electrically connected to the portion of the pin within the housing, and a conductive wire, wherein at least a portion of the wire is positioned within the housing and electrically connected to the fuse. At least the cable mating surface of the housing is suitably flexible to conform to the contours of an electrical cable insulation surface when the pin pierces through the insulation surface of the electrical cable to which the connector is attached.

Electrical connection console for a motor vehicle board net comprising a cable 2 with a metallic stranded conductor 4, and an electrical tap electrically and mechanically connected to the stranded conductor 4, characterized in that the tap is formed from a metallic sleeve 10, in that the sleeve 10 is connected to the stranded conductor 4 in a connection region 8 of the stranded conductor 4, and in that the sleeve 10 has a longitudinal extent in a longitudinal axis parallel to a longitudinal axis of the stranded conductor 4, in that the sleeve 10 has a recess 26 whose longitudinal axis runs transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis of the sleeve 10, and in that a contact sleeve 28 is arranged in the recess 26.

A coaxial connector with an F female end shield is configured to restrict RF ingress.

A banana plug center pin with a raised break point is disclosed. The banana plug center pin comprises a top portion and a bottom portion. The top portion has a first diameter, and the bottom portion has a second diameter. The banana plug center pin with a raised break point further includes a locking ring peripherally surrounding the center pin at the interface of the top portion and the bottom portion. Additionally, the banana plug center pin has a fillet feature coupled to the bottom portion and the locking ring. In one embodiment, the interface of the top portion and the bottom portion is located such that when the center pin is inserted into a banana jack, the interface is disposed above a top edge of the banana jack.

Generally, this disclosure provides systems, devices and methods for improved electrical coupling of multiple ground planes of a device. The device may include a plurality of ground planes and an electrically conductive ground clip. The ground clip may include a base portion configured to secure the ground clip to the device and a plurality of spring fingers. Each of the spring fingers may be configured to contact and electrically couple to one of the plurality of ground planes, wherein the ground clip is to provide a conduction path between each of the spring fingers. One of the spring fingers may pass through an opening or cut-through in a first ground plane to contact a second ground plane. The device may be a mobile communication or computing platform.

A waterproof electrical connector assembly releasably connects an electrical cable to a second cable, or to one or more electrodes or sensors in a housing that has a bore therethrough that accommodates the electrical cable on one end and a fitting on the other end. The fitting holds one or more electrodes/sensors in a bore through the fitting. The fitting is a commercially-available male-threaded polymeric fitting of the type used in High-performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) applications. This type of polymeric fitting has a conical, or tapered, ferrule portion at one end that is configured to fit securely into a female-threaded and chamfered bore in the housing so that when the fitting is tightened against the chamfered housing bore it forms a watertight seal which is waterproof to at least 10,000 psi. As the seal is formed, the components contact each other to form an electrical connection, illustratively, a connection from electrode or sensor probes to the cable leading to measuring equipment.
