A waterproof structure for stopping water between bare wires of multiple circuits stopping water between bare wires all together for plural covered wires each of which has a stripped wire exposed part formed by removing a cover material in an intermediate portion thereof, and is folded over at the stripped wire exposed part; a non-electrically conductive wire support supporting plural covered wires so as to prevent short-circuits between the stripped wire exposed parts of plural covered wires; a container accommodating portions of plural covered wires supported by the wire support and the stripped wire exposed part; and a thermosetting waterproofing agent filled into the container to immerse at least the stripped wire exposed parts of plural covered wires and cured to immerse the stripped wire exposed part and clearance between plural covered wires.

A bonding wire conductively connected to a pipe having a pipe body and a conductive tab mounted to the pipe and having a hole therein, the bonding wire being in the form of a braided conductive cable provided with a connector at each of its ends, the bonding wire being tightly wound around the pipe body and the ends both passing through the hole in the connector such that the ends of the bonding wire extend away from the pipe body after passing through the hole, while a portion of the bonding wire between the end portions is wrapped tightly around the pipe body; the bonding wire held under tension around the pipe body by a crimp around the two end portions where they pass through the hole.

A wire-connecting element for connecting a metal wire to a circuit board or to an electrically conductive substrate via a connecting portion (V) of the wire-connecting element. The wire-connecting element has a two-zone portion (Z), which consists of a pre-mounting portion (B) and an adjoining final mounting portion (C). The pre-mounting portion (B) is designed for the attachment of a wire winding (IO). The final mounting portion (C) forms a contact region for the wire winding (IO), which wire winding, in the intended use, is moved, preferably pressed, onto the final mounting portion (C) after the wire winding (IO) has been attached around the pre-mounting portion (B).

In at least some implementations, a coupler for a spark plug includes a body formed from an electrically conductive material and including a first connecting portion defining a first cavity, and a second connecting portion defining a second cavity spaced from the first cavity, and the body includes an intermediate portion physically and electrically coupling the first connection portion and the second connecting portion. In at least some implementations, the first connecting portion is formed from a wire coiled to define the first cavity within the coil. In at least some implementations, the second connecting portion is formed from a wire coiled to define the second cavity within the coil.
