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 signal transmission terminal, a sampling device, a battery module and a device are disclosed. The signal transmission terminal is used for the sampling device. The sampling device includes a conductive sheet. The signal transmission terminal includes a first connecting portion, a second connecting portion and a bendable portion. The first connecting portion is used for being connected to the conductive sheet and is provided with a raised portion. The second connecting portion is connected to the first connecting portion and is used for being connected to a sampling object. The bendable portion is used for being connected to the first connecting portion. The bendable portion is configured to press the conductive sheet between the first connecting portion and the bendable portion after being bent. The above signal transmission terminal can improve connection stability with the conductive sheet, such that reliability of sampling precision can be guaranteed.

A cable assembly includes coaxially arranged inner and outer barrels. The outer barrel overlaps a portion of the inner barrel. The cable assembly further includes a cable that has at least one wire surrounded by an inner insulator that is covered in a metallic shield. The metallic shield is arranged in between the inner and outer barrels. The inner barrel includes a retention feature that is arranged beneath the metallic shield. The retention feature protrudes radially outward from the inner barrel to an outermost diameter. The outer barrel includes a crimped portion that is arranged adjacent to the retention feature and has an innermost diameter that is less than the outermost diameter to capture the metallic shield therebetween and prevent the outer barrel from axial movement relative to the inner barrel.

A cable assembly includes coaxially arranged inner and outer barrels. The outer barrel overlaps a portion of the inner barrel. The inner and outer barrels respectively include first and second features that cooperate with one another to form a retention feature. The cable assembly has a cable that has at least one wire surrounded by an inner insulator that is covered in a metallic shield. The metallic shield is arranged in between the inner and outer barrels. The first feature is arranged beneath the metallic shield, and the second feature is arranged over the metallic shield. At least one of the first and second features extends in a radial direction relative to the other of the first and second features to capture the metallic shield with the retention feature.

A joint connector includes the plurality of wires extending in an extending direction, a plurality of terminals to be respectively connected to front end parts of the plurality of wires in the extending direction, a lower housing for accommodating the plurality of terminals, a busbar to be disposed in the lower housing, and an upper cover to be assembled with the lower housing. The busbar includes a plurality of tabs. Each of the plurality of terminals includes a tube portion, into which each of the plurality of tabs is inserted, and a wire connecting portion to be connected to each of the plurality of wires. The plurality of wires drawn out rearward in the extending direction from the lower housing include bent portions folded forward in the extending direction. The upper cover includes wire pressing portions for holding the plurality of wires folded forward in the extending direction.

Provided is a sensor which makes it easy to mount a cable to a circuit board. This sensor 1 is provided with: a circuit board 2; a connector 10 which is composed of a metal material and which is fixed to the circuit board 2; and a cable 3 which is connected to the circuit board 2 via the connector 10. The connector 10 has: a bottom part 11 that is connected to the circuit board 2; and a pair of pinching elements 12L, 12R that are raised upright from said bottom part 11. The cable 3 is held in a space S between the pair of pinching elements 12L, 12R.

A cable assembly includes a flat flexible cable having a plurality of conductors embedded within an insulation material. A portion of each of the conductors is exposed via openings selectively formed in the insulation material, allowing for a crimping portion of an electrically conductive terminal to engage with the conductor within the opening. The crimping portion of the terminal includes a base defining at least one protrusion extending therefrom, and first and second sidewalls extending from the base. The base and the first and second sidewalls define an opening configured to receive the conductor therein. The first sidewall includes a first section attached to the base and a second section attached to the first section on an end opposite the base. In a crimped state of the terminal, the first sidewall rotated into the opening such that the first section at least partially surrounds the second section, and the second sidewall is rotated in a direction opposite the first section such that the first section at least partially surrounds the second section, for crimping the conductor within the opening and against the protrusion.

An electrical connector assembly includes a generally planar metallic substrate having a surface with an electrically nonconductive coating and an electrical connector having a contact tab extending therefrom that is in mechanical and electrical contact with the metallic substrate. The contact tab defines two sharp points that are formed by two triangular portions of the contact tab that pierce the electrically nonconductive coating. An electrical shield incorporating the contact tab and a method of forming the electrical shield are also provided herein.
