An electrical contact suitable for use within data connectivity applications in which both power and data are conveyed over the same pair of conductors is configured with a staggered profile geometry that isolates the location of high-current disconnects while maintaining a surface that remains free of electrical arcing and erosion. The electrical contact is designed with two points of contact, and the staggered geometry ensures that only one of the two points of contact is exposed to electrical arcing when the connector is disconnected while under power, thereby protecting the other point of contact from arc-related surface damage.

A transport system, in particular a multi-carrier system, includes a plurality of linear motors, which are arranged in a row and form a guide track, and at least one transport element that can be moved along the guide track with the linear motors.

The electrically conductive member (48) is rotatable against a biasing force of the biasing member (46) upon insertion of a conductor pin.

A robot including a robot main body having at least two openings passing through an outer wall thereof in a wall thickness direction and a cable routed in an interior of the robot main body, where the cable includes branch cables each of which is split off from a trunk cable of the cable in a vicinity of each of the openings.

An interconnection system is configured to be carried by a substrate and includes a cage that is configured to be connected to the substrate, that includes a first end and a second end opposed to the first end, and that is configured to receive an interconnection module; and an electrical connector located at the second end of the cage. The electrical connector includes a fixed connector that is configured to be rigidly attached to the substrate and a detachable connector that is configured to be mated and unmated from the fixed connector.

A relay connector connects a plurality of front female terminals that are fitted from a front side in a front-rear direction and a plurality of rear female terminals that are fitted from a rear side in the front-rear direction together. The relay connector includes a housing and a busbar. The housing includes a front insertion recess portion, a rear insertion recess portion, an intermediate wall portion, and a busbar holding portion disposed at the intermediate wall portion. The busbar includes a base portion, a rear tab, an extension portion extending from the base portion to the same side in an up-down direction, and a front tab extending from an extension end of the extension portion to the front-insertion-recess-portion side. The rear tab includes a rear held portion adjacent to the base portion and a rear male terminal portion housed in the rear insertion recess portion. The front tab includes a front held portion adjacent to the extension end of the extension portion and a front male terminal portion housed in the front insertion recess portion. The busbar holding portion includes a first holding portion that holds the rear held portion of the rear tab, a second holding portion that holds the front held portion of the front tab, and a third holding portion that holds the extension portion.

The present disclosure is directed to an apparatus for measuring a health condition and connectable to existing medical devices. In one embodiment, apparatus may include a cable apparatus.
