Each of the terminals has a contact portion, a held portion and a connecting portion. The connecting portion is connected with the composite cable when the connector is attached with the composite cable. In the at least one terminal set, the connecting portion of the first terminal is positioned between the connecting portions of the second terminals in a horizontal direction. The second member is combined with the first member.

Module-housing system and method

A clip-on module having a specialized housing design, probe contacts, switches, various advertising modes, and various configurations of signal repeaters is disclosed. The module is utilized via attachment to a specialized garment worn by a human patient. To properly apply the housing to the garment, a user will squeeze the module to open using tactile features embedded within the housing, locate the module, and then press-clamp the module to close and attach it. A plurality of probe contacts within the module have sharpness requirements for penetrating one or more layers of the garment while still maintaining low resistance, and will work with a backing material for probe.

IN-LINE SWITCH ASSEMBLY
20210126381 · 2021-04-29 ·

An in-line switch assembly comprising a housing and two ports at different parts of the housing for insertion of an end of a power cord into the housing. The housing has first and second housing parts. A connection mechanism is provided in each of the ports, adapted to receive an end of a power cord, and is operable to cause piercing of a piercing part through a sheath of a power cord and then electrical contact with a conductive core of the power cord. The housing is configured to undergo from a first state in which the first and second housing parts are partially attached together, thereby allowing insertion of an end of a power cord through each of the ports to the respective connection mechanism, to a second state in which the first and second housing parts are fully attached together, with an inserted end of a said power cord being acted upon by the connection mechanism.

Solder-Less and Tool-Less Electrical System
20210143594 · 2021-05-13 ·

An adjustable and reusable electrical assembly has an electrical unit, such as a plug unit or light unit, configured to engage with a cable. The electrical unit has a body that defines a channel connecting opposite pass-through openings. A first contact member and a second contact member are positioned with at least a portion in the body, each contact member having a piercing member. The cable is engageable with the plug unit extending through the channel with one piercing member in conductive contact with one wire and the other piercing member in conductive contact with the other wire. The cable can be disengaged from the plug unit and re-engaged at a different transverse position to change the length of the assembly.
