A poke-in terminal includes a main body, a tab terminal socket at a mating end, and a wire socket at a terminating end. The tab terminal socket includes walls forming a tab terminal receptacle configured to receive a tab terminal. Upper and lower beam contacts extend into the tab terminal receptacle to interface with the tab terminal. The wire socket includes walls forming a wire receptacle configured to receive a wire. Poke-in retention beams extend into the wire receptacle to interface with the wire when poked into the wire socket. The wire socket includes a wire release element configured to be actuated to release the poke-in retention beams from the wire.

An electrical connector for connecting to flat-wire conductors of a flexible circuit (FC) is described. The electrical connector includes an elongated body, a split-blade terminal, and a spring terminal. The elongated body has a longitudinal axis. The split-blade terminal has two prongs separated by a distance and is configured to interface with an electrical terminal of an electrical device. The spring terminal is configured to mate with one or more of the flat-wire conductors within a connection area of the FC. The spring terminal and the split-blade terminal are positioned on the longitudinal axis at opposing ends of the electrical connector.

A core wire connecting body to be connected to a core wire in an electric wire includes: a bottom, a pair of cantilevered side walls that are disposed facing each other with a space therebetween; and a plurality of pairs of press contact bodies that are disposed facing each other with a space between the pair of side walls, and that cut the coating of the electric wire inserted from an opening, and make press contact with the strands. For the pairs of press contact bodies, compared to a distance between the press contact bodies that is a pair at the farthest section that is farthest from an end part of the electric wire, a distance between the press contact bodies that is a pair closer to the end part of the electric wire than the pair at the farthest section are, is smaller.

A capacitor carrier assembly includes a carrier, a capacitor disposed in the carrier and electrically conductive connection terminals. The connection terminals support the carrier with respect to another electronic component or device such as a printed circuit board, retain individual carrier portions in an assembled configuration, and provide an electrical connection between the capacitor and the electronic component. Each connection terminal includes an elastic member that protrudes from a surface of the connection terminal and engages the carrier, and regions of serrations provided on opposed edges of the terminal that engage the carrier, and a flange that protrudes from the surface in a direction perpendicular to the first surface. An edge of the flange includes an insulation displacement contact (IDC) joint for connection to the capacitor leads.

A current transmission assembly and a current transmission system are provided. The current transmission system includes the current transmission assembly and a circuit board structure. The current transmission assembly includes a pluggable component, at least one conductor component, and at least one electrically connecting component. The pluggable component includes a housing, two sets of electrically conductive arms, and two connecting members. Each of the two sets of electrically conductive arms is disposed inside the housing. Each of the conductor components includes an electrical insulator and a wire main body. The electrical insulator encircles the wire main body, so that a first terminal and a second terminal are exposed from the wire main body, and the first terminal is connected to one of the two connecting members. Each of the electrically connecting components includes a connecting portion, to which the second terminal of the wire main body is fixed.

A conductor connection terminal, having an insulating material housing, a busbar, a clamping spring and an operating lever which is pivotably received in the insulating material housing over a pivoting range and can be pivoted between an open position and a closed position, wherein the clamping spring has an operating arm which is deflected via a spring driver of the operating lever at least in the open position, characterized in that the operating lever is supported in the open position at a first and a second support point spaced from the first, and that the operating lever is pulled against the first and the second support point by a tensile force of the clamping spring acting on the spring driver from the operating arm.

A connector 10 includes two connection terminals 30 to be respectively connected to ends of two wires 20 extending side by side and having through holes in tip parts, and a housing 70 for accommodating the two connection terminals 30 separated from each other with the respective tip parts caused to project out. The tip parts of the two connection terminals 30 are overlapped each other while being spaced apart in an orthogonal direction Z, and the through holes of the two connection terminals 30 are located on the same axis along the orthogonal direction Z.
