A contact assembly for a connector housing includes an adapter element and a contact element. The adapter element has a sleeve with a lead-through opening extending in an axial direction of the sleeve and with a threaded bore extending perpendicularly to the lead-through opening through the sleeve. The contact element is adapted to be inserted into the lead-through opening and latched to the sleeve. The contact element may exhibit varying types of a cable connection section and/or a contact section. The adapter element is receivable within the connector housing and may accept the contact element regardless of the type of cable connection section and/or contact section.

The present disclosure provides a wire with terminal that can suppress buckling of a wire during assembly. A wire with terminal includes a wire having a core wire made of a conductor and an insulation coating covering the outer periphery of the core wire, and a terminal connected to a lengthwise end portion of the wire. Also, the wire with terminal includes a reinforcing material adhered to an outer peripheral surface of the insulation coating and an unreinforced part where the reinforcing material is not provided, in the circumferential direction of the wire.

A crimp connector for a wire includes first and second clamping plates connected via a bending portion so as to be pivotable with respect to one another for clamping the wire between them in a clamping state. Inner surfaces of the clamping plates are designed as clamping surfaces having a plurality of elongated depressions and elongated ribs that run perpendicularly to a pivot axis of the bending portion. The ribs of one clamping plate are each arranged and dimensioned in such a way that they are at least partially arranged in the depressions of the other clamping plate in the clamping state such that a wire clamped between the clamping plates in the clamping state is formed into a meandering shape. Distance between adjacent depressions in at least one of the first and second clamping plates varies along the clamping surface on a straight line parallel to the pillar axis.

A terminal assembly structure according to one or more embodiments includes: a terminal having a crimp portion configured to crimp and connect to a core wire of an electric wire and a fastening portion configured to be fastened by a fastening member; and a holder having a base configured to mount the terminal when fastening the terminal to the holder. The holder has a plurality of ribs extending in a fastening direction of the fastening member and arranged around the fastening portion of the terminal when the fastening portion is set and positioned onto the base.

A terminal module to be electrically connected to a mating connector by being fit to the mating connector relatively approaching along a first direction from one side to another side is provided with a case having a ceiling wall and a pair of side walls extending toward the one side from the ceiling wall, a resilient member to be accommodated into the case and stretchable along the first direction, a first terminal to be supported on the pair of side walls while being biased toward the one side by the resilient member and movable toward the other side by being pressed by the mating connector, a second terminal located away from the first terminal toward the other side and extending in the first direction, and a flexible conductor for electrically connecting the first terminal and the second terminal.

A terminal-wire bonding method includes: arranging a first core at a second end of a first terminal-wire having a first terminal connected with the first core exposed from an insulating sheath at a first end, onto a side of an anvil and a second core at a second end of a second terminal-wire having a second terminal connected with the second core exposed, at a first end, from an insulating sheath longer than the insulating sheath of the first terminal-wire, onto a side of a horn; and bonding the first core at the second end and the second core at the second end together by ultrasonic bonding between the horn and the anvil.

A connector is provided with a flexible wire, a terminal to be connected to the wire, and a housing for accommodating the wire and the terminal. The housing includes a housing body for accommodating the wire and a holder for accommodating and holding the terminal. The holder is configured to be swingable in a plane direction together with the terminal with respect to the housing body by being attached to the housing body with a play between the housing body and the holder. The wire extends to the outside of the housing body in an extending direction intersecting a Z-axis direction and is slidable in the extending direction with respect to the housing body, following a swinging motion of the terminal. A gap for allowing the wire to be bent, following a swinging motion of the terminal, is provided between the housing body and the wire.
