A connector for a flexible busbar is provided. The connector includes a jaw and a relief. The jaw has a first member and a second member both depending from a support member and spaced from one another by a distance. The distance is larger than a thickness of the flexible busbar. The relief is defined on first member and/or second member. The jaw is deformably compressible onto the flexible busbar upon application of a deformation force on the first and second members so that the flexible busbar conforms to the at least one relief to form an electrical and mechanical connection.

A tool for soldering an electrical conductor with a connection device includes a deformation unit plastically deforming the connection device around the electrical conductor. The deformation unit has a fixed deformation module and a movable deformation module that is movable with respect to the fixed deformation module. The fixed deformation module has an anvil with an electrical contact area on which the electrical conductor and the connection device are disposed. An electric current circulates through the electrical conductor and the connection device by passing through an electrically conductive first part of the anvil that is electrically insulated from a rest of the anvil.

A composite wiring includes: elastic wiring comprising an elastic tube, a conductor wire disposed inside the tube, and fixing portions that fix the conductor wire and the tube together at both ends of the tube in the lengthwise direction thereof, the length of the conductor wire between the fixing portions when the tube is in an unextended state being longer than the length of the tube between the fixing portions; other wiring separate from the elastic wiring; and a connection member that connects the conductor wire of the elastic wiring and a conductor wire of the other wiring by caulking in a state of being brought into contact with each other, the connection member having an interior section sealed in a watertight manner with a sealing material.

An electrical terminal includes a contacting section and a crimping section arranged to a rear of the contacting section in an axial direction of the terminal. A first material layer of the crimping section is crimped directly onto a second material layer of the terminal or of the crimping section in a crimped state, forming a double material layer region.

A female terminal includes a terminal body having a bottom wall and a spring member mounted in the terminal body. The terminal body includes a connecting tube portion continuous with the bottom wall, a tab of a male terminal being inserted into the connecting tube portion, a resilient contact piece configured to resiliently contact the tab inserted into the connecting tube portion, and a through hole penetrating through the bottom wall. The spring member is made of metal having a higher elastic modulus than the resilient contact piece. One end part of the spring member biases the resilient contact piece in a direction toward the tab by coming into contact with the resilient contact piece. The other end part of the spring member is located in a region inside a hole edge part of the through hole with the spring member mounted in the terminal body.

A conductive connecting member includes a first terminal, a second terminal, and a braided member for electrically connecting the first and second terminals. The braided member is a member formed by braiding a plurality of metal stands each other. The braided member includes a first fixing portion to be fixed and electrically connected to the first terminal, a second fixing portion to be fixed and electrically connected to the second terminal and an intermediate portion serving as a part of the braided member between the first and second fixing portions. The intermediate portion retains its own shape in a natural state where no external force is applied and is deformed to allow a relative movement of the second terminal with respect to the first terminal when an external force for relatively changing a position of the second terminal with respect to the first terminal is applied.

A method of manufacturing a terminal-equipped electrical wire includes: inserting a core-wire exposed part of a core wire of an electrical wire at a terminal between inner wall surfaces of a pair of piece parts of a terminal fitting including a core-wire connection body formed of a bottom part and the piece parts protruding from both ends of the bottom part, and placing the core-wire exposed part on an inner wall surface of the bottom part; melting the core-wire exposed part and the core-wire connection body by emitting a laser beam to the core-wire exposed part and the core-wire connection body from a free end side of each piece part; and fixing the core-wire exposed part and the core-wire connection body melted by the laser beam, with the emission of the laser beam stopped.

An oil temperature sensor includes a sensor body that detects the temperature of oil. The sensor body is formed by covering a thermistor mounted on a first lead frame and a second lead frame with a resin mold portion. The sensor body is fixed to the housing in a manner that the resin mold portion is buried and a first terminal portion and a second terminal portion are partially exposed to space.

An electrical terminal clamp includes a contact cage including a contact floor, a contact ceiling, a first contact side wall and a second contact side wall that connect the contact floor and the contact ceiling. The contact floor, the contact ceiling, the first contact side wall and the second contact side wall jointly form a conductor insertion channel. A conductor clamping device that includes at least one clamping spring that is preloaded against a reaction bearing and an insertion bevel for a conductor configured in a portion of the contact ceiling, wherein the insertion bevel is formed by a guide arm that extends from the contact ceiling in the conductor insertion direction and that is configured sloped towards the contact floor.
