The male connector portion includes a third electrical contact comprising a first insulation displacement contact (IDC) portion and a first male portion, a fourth electrical contact comprising a second DC portion and a second male portion, and a second outer shield, the second outer shield mechanically secured to a second insulative housing.

An electrical connector in a type of connectors that comes into contact with a counterpart connector in a gap between contacts of terminals is provided in which the adjustment of contact positions of the terminals is easy and therefore the manufacture of the electrical connector is easy and the manufacturing cost is low. The electrical connector includes a housing and paired terminal supports. Each of the paired terminal supports can support the terminals in cantilever fashion. Moreover, the paired terminal supports are mounted on the housing in a state of abutting each other in predetermined directions. The terminals supported by the terminals supports mounted on the housing can form a gap where a contacted object is inserted, between the contacts of the terminals in a direction along the abutment directions of the paired terminal supports.

A flat electrical cable is described. The cable includes a plurality of equally spaced substantially parallel electrical conductors lying in a same plane and extending along the length of the cable. Each conductor has a same diameter D. The cable further includes a common unitary electrically insulating layer encapsulating the plurality of conductors. The insulating layer includes a plurality of cover portions where each cover portion is concentric with a corresponding conductor and has a radial thickness t. t/D is in a range from about 0.50 to about 1.25.

A connector (100) is disclosed that includes a housing (2) having a length, a width, a first end wall (15), a second end wall (19), and a plurality of first (17) and second (18) grooves disposed on upper-portion main surface and bottom-portion main surface of a base (2). The grooves receive pluralities of first (70) and second (71) insulated conductors, respectively. A plurality of terminals (16) make contact with the first and second insulated conductors so that the first insulated conductors and the second insulated conductors are electrically connected to each other.

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 safe grounding apparatus (SGA) for safely grounding or neutralizing the electrical conductors for permanent magnet motor (PMM) powered artificial lift systems and methods of practicing the same are disclosed. The SGA of the present invention ameliorates some of the dangers associated with PMM's. Methods of shorting, grounding, testing and monitoring the electrical conductors of a permanent magnet motor in order to safely manipulate the conductors are also disclosed.

A universal cable system includes a cable, which may include a keyed profile and an optional, integrated pull cable for low-voltage applications in residential and commercial structures, both old and new construction, which may further includes a connector, which does not require individual splicing of the wires from the cable. The connector may be self-crimping or crimped with a tool. During installation of the connector onto the cable, conductors in the connector may be simultaneously spliced to the wires of the cable during crimping.

The present invention concerns a line filter (1), which is configured to be installed onto a system cable (2), wherein the line filter (1) comprises a magnetic component (4), wherein the line filter (1) defines a cable path (6) through the line filter (1), wherein the line filter (1) is configured to allow a placement of the system cable (2) along the cable path (6) at the time of an installation, thereby providing a magnetic coupling of the system cable (2) to the magnetic component (4), and wherein the line filter (1) comprises an insulation displacement connector (16) and a shunt component (5) wherein the insulation displacement connector (16) is configured to be tightened at the time of the installation, thereby providing a galvanic connection of the system cable (2) to the shunt component (5). Further, the present invention concerns a method of installing a line filter (1) onto a system cable (2).
