A protection sheath structure for switch wire connection device provides dustproof and waterproof effects and enhances the assembling security between the switch wire connection device and the conductive wire. The protection sheath has the form of a cylindrical body including a head section having a mouth section, a belly section connected with the head section and a tail section connected with the belly section. The head section and the belly section together define a chamber for assembling with the switch wire connection device. The tail section defines a guide hole permitting the conductive wire to plug into the protection sheath. Multiple annular ribs are disposed on a circumference of the tail section to enhance the structural strength of the protection sheath (or the tail section), whereby the tail section is able to bear external force produced in wiring operation of the conductive wire.

A cable entry sealing system includes a housing having a first housing end and a second housing end; a sealing and shielding member having a portion insertable into the housing, the sealing and shielding member comprising: a plug portion and a medial sealing portion, extending from the plug portion. The medial sealing portion includes a first raised edge, a lip sealing portion extending outwardly from the first raised edge, and a medial body section having a second raised edge. The system further includes an end sealing portion, extending from the medial portion, and at least one compression member coupled to the end sealing portion. The sealing and shielding member is configured to prevent contamination into the cable entry sealing system and distortion of the at least one compression member.

An electrical connector includes conductive male and female contacts and insulating inner and outer sleeves, and connects first and second electrical wires end-to-end. The contacts can be attached to corresponding conductors of the first and second wires. The male contact includes an elongated pin; the female contact includes a receptacle. Inserting the pin into the receptacle results in mechanical engagement of, and electrical continuity between, the assembled contacts. The assembled contacts can be positioned within the compressible inner sleeve, which extends beyond the ends of the assembled contacts. The inner sleeve, with the assembled contacts therein, can be positioned within the rigid outer sleeve, which extends at least as far as the inner sleeve. Compression of the inner sleeve by the ends of the outer sleeve frictionally engages the ends of the inner sleeve with the corresponding wires.

Cable splice sleeve assemblies and methods of housing cables. The assemblies may include reversibly engageable segments configured with interlocking ends. When engaged, the segments form a seal that insulates cable terminals disposed within the sleeve assembly. Some assemblies include extensions that may be biased to improve sealing capabilities.

On example provides a ferrule for an implantable medical device including a first frame body having a first perimeter surface to make a brazed connection to a first medical device component, and a second frame body having a first perimeter surface to make a welded connection to a second medical device component. A spacer flange connects a second perimeter surface of the first frame body to a second perimeter surface of the second frame body, a thickness between a top surface and bottom of the spacer flange being less than a thickness between a top surface and a bottom surface of the first frame body such that the spacer flange is to deflect relative to the first frame body in response to forces being applied to the second frame body so as to reduce transmission of weld strain from the second frame body to the first frame body.

A cable retention assembly comprising a housing defining a cable aperture extending axially through the housing and a retention aperture extending from an outside surface of the housing through the housing and opening into the cable aperture. A clamping mechanism may be disposed within the retention aperture. A hook may have an insert and a lip. The hook may be coupled to the housing via the clamping mechanism. The cable retention assembly according to the present invention can be used with all known cables including, but not limited to, USB cables.

A cable gland and methods for earthing, grounding, bonding, and electromagnetic capability with armored, metal-clad, and metallic-sheathed cable types. The cable gland comprises a gland body, a plurality of extensions, an elastomer seal, a compression member configured to rotate the plurality of extensions towards to the elastomer seal, and an earthing insert mounted in the gland body configured to electrically connect a cable to a neutral and/or grounded conductor. The cable gland is configured to provide an air-tight seal between the exterior of the cable and the elastomer seal through rotation of the plurality of extension upon the elastomer seal. The cable gland may include an o-ring and nut to secure the cable gland to a planar body. The earthing insert comprises a grounding spring in electrical communication with a metallic portion of the cable and a neutral and/or grounded conductor.

A cable anchor assembly includes a housing that receives adhesive through a fill inlet to secure a cable relative to the housing. The cable enters and exits the housing through first and second gaskets that hold the adhesive within the housing during filling and curing. Various components enable the orientation of the fill inlet relative to the housing to be changed. In some cases, the fill inlet is defined by the housing. In other examples, the fill inlet is defined by the housing in cooperation with a guide member. In still other cases, the fill inlet is defined by one of the gaskets.

Provided are load bearing universal adaptors for connecting electrical cables in a watertight configuration. The mechanical advantage associated with wedges in a tapered cavity ensures that load is appropriately transferred to the walls of the wedge housing and, as the load increases, the gripping force on the electrical cable increases. In this manner, a load applied to the electrical cable is at least partially provided to the walls of the system rather than acting to pull the cable out of the adaptor, and the object to which the adaptor is connected, such as a terminal block.

An electrical junction box comprises an electrically conductive housing and at least one cable end wherein an everted braided shield section of the cable end is received in a retainer section of the housing and an electrically conductive adhesive is provided.
