An electrical connector includes at least two electrical connector elements extending side by side along a longitudinal direction, each of the electrical connector elements being connectable to a respective wire of an associated electrical cable. An electrical device is in electrical contact with the respective electrical connector elements. A flexible carrier surrounds the electrical connector elements annularly in cross section, and the electrical device is mounted on an inner side of the flexible carrier which faces the connector elements.

A terminal metal fitting 1 includes a terminal connection portion 2 connected to a partner terminal metal fitting, and a wire holding portion 3 provided at the back of the terminal connection portion 2. The wire holding portion 3 is configured to hold, in a pressure-bonded state, an insulating wire 100 configured such that a core wire is coated by an insulating coating. The wire holding portion 3 includes a bottom wall portion 31 on which the insulating wire 100 is placed, a first insulating wire swaging portion 32 formed continuously to one side edge of the bottom wall portion 31, and a second insulating wire swaging portion 33 formed continuously to the other side edge of the bottom wall portion 31. One or more claws 34 configured to bite into the insulating wire upon swaging of the insulating wire 100 are formed at at least one of the bottom wall portion 31, the first insulating wire swaging portion 32, or the second insulating wire swaging portion 33.

A plug connector for flexible conductor films having film-insulated conductors, includes a plug connector housing in which at least one plug contact element is arranged, and a connection region in which blades electrically conductively connected to the at least one plug contact element penetrate and fix at least one film-insulated conductor and produce an electrical contact. The plug connector housing includes two housing parts which can be pushed into one another, of which the first housing part supports the blades and the at least one plug contact element electrically conductively connected thereto, and the second housing part receives and supports the flexible conductor film and has the at least one blade receptacle which is adapted to the blades and whose boundary surfaces are designed such that the at least a part of the blades is bent towards the film-insulated conductor when the two housing parts are pushed into one another.

A contact carrier receives and fixes at least one crimp contact. The contact carrier includes an insulating body and a holding plate that can be mounted on the insulating body on a connection side. The insulating body has a detent element which, in the non-mounted state, can assume both a position in which the crimp contact is latched and a position in which the crimp contact is unlatched. The holding plate has a locking element which, in the mounted state, fixes the at least one detent element in its position in which the crimp contact is latched. It thereby prevents the crimp contact from moving from the latching position to the unlatching position. The detent element is designed as a detent arm which points towards the connection side and has a detent molding for latching in a latching groove of the crimp contact.

A self-enclosed electrical assembly with a wire crimping structure, including an installation faceplate, a front assembly, and a back assembly affixed to each other using buckles. The front assembly includes a base plate and an open-top enclosure member extending perpendicularly from the base plate. Disposed inside the enclosure member are plug insertion pieces with wire receiving slots. The back assembly includes a top panel and a shell body extending perpendicularly from the top panel. Disposed within the shell body is a wire crimping structure, which includes a wire crimping block and an inserted member. The wire crimping block has multiple wire crimping notches respectively spatially corresponding to the wire receiving slots. After the back assembly and the front assembly are affixed to each other, the inserted member is used to press the crimping block to crimp the wires into the wire receiving slots.

An electric machine having a rotor, stator and at least one winding. The winding defines a first lead having a conductive core and an electrically insulative exterior layer. A connector engaged with the first lead includes a plurality of projections that pierce the exterior layer of the first lead to engage the conductive core. The connector may be C-shaped having a spine and first and second arms with first and second bend lines respectively disposed between the spine and the two arms. Alternatively, the connector may be U-shaped having a spine and first and first and second arms wherein a bend line and a central opening are disposed between the two arms. The first lead extends through the central opening and is grippingly engaged by the connector between the first and second arms. The connector may also be used to securely engage an uninsulated terminal.
