A high voltage connection between a first line of a traveling wave tube and a second line of a voltage supply unit for the traveling wave tube includes a plug which is connected to an end section of the first line or of the second line by a crimp connection, and a socket which is connected to an end section of the other line by a crimp connection. Furthermore, a method for manufacturing a high voltage connection is also described.

A method for producing a medical electrode lead or a catheter, and also to an associated semifinished product. The semifinished product for this purpose includes a cable having at least one electrical conductor, which is embedded in a sheath made of an electrically insulating, thermoplastic material. It is characterized in that the cable, at least at one cable end, forms a connection point, via which the conductor can be attached permanently and non-detachably to further components, wherein part of the surface of the conductor is exposed in the region of the connection point and forms a contact face, and the sheath has, in the region of the connection point, a recess that is continuous in the longitudinal direction of the cable.

An electrically conductive contact element for an electrical connector comprises a contact surface having a plurality of caverns arranged under the contact surface in a microstructure and an auxiliary material filled in the plurality of caverns.

A method includes a placing step in which an end portion of a covered electric wire is placed on an inner surface of a barrel portion along an axial direction such that a tip of the aluminum core wire overlaps a second portion of a seal member attached close to a terminal portion, and a crimping step in which the barrel portion is wound around and crimped to the end portion, thereby fixing the crimp terminal to the end portion and sealing, with the seal member, a space between the inner barrel piece and the outer barrel piece, an opening of the barrel portion formed cylindrical located on a side of the terminal portion, and a space between the covered portion and the barrel portion.

A system (10) and method that facilitates the delivery of power and fiber communications together is provided. The system and method enables quick and easy connection of a hybrid cable (12) to telecommunication equipment. The system provides a sealed robust connection for both conductors (78, 80) and fibers (50) at a single location (56). It can be used to avoid the need for local powering of fiber based communication devices and networks.

It is aimed to suppress the peeling of an adhesive from an insulation coating of an insulated electrical cable due to resin shrink after the molding of a molded member. A molded part-equipped electrical cable includes a terminal-equipped electrical cable with an insulated electrical cable and a terminal, an adhesive provided on a surface of the insulation coating of the terminal-equipped electrical cable and a molded member covering from a part provided with the adhesive on the insulation coating of the terminal-equipped electrical cable to a connected part of the insulated electrical cable and the terminal. The molded member includes a first molded part and a second molded part separately molded, and the first molded part includes a part covering the adhesive while being in contact with the adhesive.

An electrical connector includes a terminal module and a shielding shell surrounding the terminal module. The terminal module has an insulative housing and a plurality of conductive terminals retained in the insulative housing. The shielding shell has a metallic shell and a waterproof shell insert molded on an outer side of the metallic shell. The metallic shell surrounds the insulative housing to form a mating cavity opening forwardly. The shielding shell has a sealing member disposed between the metallic shell and the waterproof shell and a retaining member disposed at a rear side of the waterproof shell. The retaining member is separate from the sealing member. The metallic shell defines an opening slot going therethrough. The sealing member covers the opening slot. The retaining member defines a mounting leg.

This document describes techniques and apparatuses for connecting an electronic component to an interactive textile. Loose conductive threads of the interactive textile are collected and organized into a ribbon with a pitch that matches a corresponding pitch of connection points of the electronic component. Next, non-conductive material of the conductive threads of the ribbon are stripped to expose the conductive wires of the conductive threads. After stripping the non-conductive material from the conductive threads of the ribbon, the connection points of the electronic component are bonded to the conductive wires of the ribbon. The conductive threads proximate the ribbon are then sealed using a UV-curable or heat-curable epoxy, and the electronic component and the ribbon are encapsulated to the interactive textile with a water-resistant material, such as plastic or polymer.

Automated assembly systems and methods are configured to automatically insert components into grommets. The systems include a component insertion sub-system configured to insert first components into first cavities of a first grommet, an imaging sub-system configured to acquire images of the first grommet, and a grommet shift determination sub-system in communication with the component insertion sub-system and the imaging sub-system. The grommet shift determination sub-system is configured to compare at least two images of the first grommet acquired by the imaging sub-system to determine distance changes between the first cavities in response to one or more of the first components being inserted into one or more of the first cavities, and generate an insertion map that accounts for the distance changes.

A connector (10) configured to bring an object (70) into conduction comprises: a pair of fitting bodies fittable to each other; and a filler (60) with which at least one fitting body of the pair of fitting bodies is loaded, wherein a fitting body of the pair of fitting bodies includes an accommodating portion (35a) configured to accommodate an end of the object (70), and the filler (60) is configured to cover the end of the object (70) in the accommodating portion (35a).
