A method of forming an electrical cable assembly includes providing a multiconductor flat cable comprising wires arranged in a coplanar fashion with each other and encased within a planar dielectric structure, cutting a slot in the planar dielectric structure intermediate the wires, thereby forming wing features in the dielectric structure extending from the wires, removing portions of the dielectric structure from ends of the wires, wherein portions of wing features remain, attaching the exposed wires to terminals, wherein the terminals define prongs, and attaching the portions of the wing features to by inserting the prongs within holes defined in the portions of the wing features, thereby retaining the wires to the terminals.

An electrical power tap connector for a model vehicle is provided including a first power tap housing. The first power tap housing may contain a power tap terminal configured to electrically couple with a connector terminal of an electrical connector. The power tap connector may also include a second power tap housing releasably securable to the first power tap housing and a releasable locking mechanism configured to physically secure the power tap connector to the electrical connector. Wherein the power tap terminal may be configured to electrically couple with the connector terminal via a non-mating end of the electrical connector.

A plug connector adapted for connecting corresponding wires includes an insulative body integrally formed with two rows of plug contacts in a lateral direction and a transverse bar. The plug contacts are categorized with differential-pair contacts and grounding contacts alternately arranged with each other in a longitudinal direction. The transverse bar extends along the longitudinal direction perpendicular to the lateral direction and is unitarily linked to rear ends of all the grounding contacts of each row of plug contacts while being isolated from the differential-pair contacts. All the contacts and the transverse bar are stamped from a same sheet metal initially, and the differential-pair contacts are successively disconnected from the transverse bar after the plug contacts are integrally formed with the insulative body.

A lock structure of a connector assembly includes a socket connector and a plug connector. The socket connector includes a mounting base member and conductive terminals disposed in the mounting base member, and the mounting base member is combined with an outer metal shell. A base of the plug connector includes a plug part combined in the docking chamber, and a connection part, and contact terminals. The base is combined with a shielding housing, and a handle is pivoted to shaft holes of the shielding housing. When the plug connector is not locked on the socket connector, the handle is pushed apart from each other, by the shielding housing, and not clasped on the outer metal shell. After the plug connector is combined on the socket connector, the handle can be rotated to return the handle to original locations, and make the handle clasp on the outer metal shell.

An adapter assembly includes an elongated body, a switch, a sensor link, and an annular member. The elongated body includes a proximal portion configured to couple to a handle assembly and a distal portion configured to couple to a surgical loading unit. The switch is configured to be toggled in response to the surgical loading unit being coupled to the distal portion of the adapter assembly. The sensor link is disposed within the distal portion of the adapter assembly and biased toward a distal position. The sensor link is longitudinally movable between a proximal position and the distal position. The annular member is disposed within the distal portion and is rotatable between a first orientation, in which the annular member prevents distal movement of the sensor link, and a second orientation, in which the sensor link moves distally to toggle the switch.

A power distribution unit including an elongate housing and a power input penetrating said elongate housing. The power input can comprise a ground buss wire, a neutral buss wire and at least one line buss wire. A plurality of electrical outlets can be disposed along the housing. Each electrical outlet can comprise a receptacle and a plurality of spaced apart outlet pins protruding from the receptacle. The plurality of outlet pins can include a ground outlet pin receiving the ground buss wire, a neutral outlet pin receiving the neutral buss wire, and a line outlet pin receiving the line buss wire.

A joint structure includes an end portion of the flat electric wire assembly, a terminal fitting, and solder. The flat electric wire assembly includes a conductive line, a first insulating layer covering the conductive line, and a second insulating layer covering a portion of the conductive line. The terminal fitting includes a joint portion that includes a receiving section on which the end portion is placed and blocking sections extending from the receiving section such that the end portion is between the blocking sections. The first insulating layer includes a first surface opposed to the receiving section and a second surface on which the conductive line is disposed. The conductive line includes an end portion different from the portion covered with the second insulating layer. The solder is disposed over the second surface. The blocking sections include surfaces over which the solder is not disposed.

The connection structure connecting a core wire exposed, on the end side of a covered electric wire with an insulating covering portion covering the outer periphery of the core wire, from the insulating covering portion to a bus bar, on the end side of the covered electric wire, an auxiliary terminal including an electric wire grasping portion which grasps the insulating covering portion of the covered electric wire and a core wire protecting portion provided so as to extend from one end of the electric wire grasping portion is attached, the core wire protecting portion includes a base on which the insulating covering portion is placed and welded pieces which are provided so as to extend from the base and disposed near the core wire exposed from the insulating covering portion, and the welded pieces are welded to one face of the bus bar along with the exposed core wire.

A joint of a copper terminal and an aluminum wire, the copper terminal is divided into a connecting part and a functional part connected to the connecting part, and an aluminum wire core of the aluminum wire is connected to the connecting part of the copper terminal. Preferably, the aluminum wire core extends or does not extend to the functional part. The connecting part is a component of the copper terminal that is connected with the aluminum wire, and the functional part is a fixed area of the copper terminal that is configured to connect to a power consumption device.
