A wiring module includes a first housing section row, a second housing section row, and linking sections. The first housing section row includes first housing sections that are arranged in an arrangement direction and include connection bus bars therein, respectively. The second housing section row includes second housing sections that are arranged in the arrangement direction and include the connection bus bars and output bus bars therein, respectively, and is disposed away from the first housing section row with respect to a crossing direction that crosses the arrangement direction. The linking sections are disposed between the first and second housing section rows and link the first and second housing section rows. The first housing sections are connected by a first warping section that can be deformed with warping and the second housing sections are connected by a second warping section that can be deformed with warping.

Disclosed are a connector and a battery module. A connector according to an aspect of the present disclosure is a connector configured to electrically interconnect electrode leads of neighboring battery cells. The connector includes: a main body having a conductive material and having contact portions provided to face each other such that the leads of the neighboring battery cells are brought into contact with the contact portions, respectively; two or more push members disposed to be movable and to be spaced apart from each other between the contact portions so as to bring each of the electrode leads into contact with a corresponding contact portion among the contact portions; a core member disposed to be movable between the push members so as to bring the push members into close contact with corresponding contact portions, respectively; and a movement mechanism configured to move the core member in a second direction crossing a first direction in order to cause the push members in the first direction for close contact.

Power connection module, with a system for locking/unlocking electric cable terminations in the module. Terminal block including a plurality of independent connection modules. A connection module, the body of which is provided with cavities into each of which it is possible to insert an electric cable termination that may be fastened and locked by a sliding/translational movement of a locking plate over the body.

Power connection assembly including a connection module and electric cable terminations to be locked in/unlocked from the module in a desired insertion position. Terminal block includes a plurality of independent connection modules. A cavity in the body of a connection module is provided into which it is possible to insert an electric cable termination that is able to be fastened and locked in at least two separate insertion positions, preferably a multitude thereof, through sliding/translational movement of a locking plate over the body that is provided with reliefs, preferably ridges that interleave in complementary reliefs, preferably ridges of the sleeve of the termination.

A system includes a housing and a contact portion. The housing includes a first portion and a second portion, the first portion interlocking with the second portion so as to enclose a first volume and form a first wire opening within a first end of the housing and a second wire opening within a second end of the housing. The contact portion is disposed within the first volume and includes a first wire receiving portion, a first flexing beam extending from a first surface of the first wire receiving portion towards a second surface of the first wire receiving portion, a second wire receiving portion, a second flexing beam extending from a first surface of the second wire receiving portion towards a second surface of the second wire receiving portion, and a common wire stop disposed between the first wire receiving portion and the second wire receiving portion.

A bus bar assembly includes, among other things, a nonconductive terminal cap that is configured to at least partially surround an electrically conductive terminal. The terminal cap has a perimeter wall that is configured to circumscribe at least a portion of the terminal to provide a gap that is configured to expose the terminal. The terminal cap includes a first attachment feature. The terminal cap also includes a bus bar that has an end that is configured to mechanically and electrically engage the terminal in an assembled condition. The terminal cap further includes a nonconductive shroud that encloses the bus bar. The shroud includes a second attachment feature that is configured to removably engage the first attachment feature in the assembled condition to secure the shroud to the terminal cap.

A bus bar assembly includes a nonconductive terminal cap that is configured to secure to an electrically conductive terminal via an attachment feature. The terminal cap has a slot that is configured to expose a terminal portion of the terminal in an assembled condition. A bus bar has an end that is configured to be received in the slot in the assembled condition in which the end is in electrical contact with the terminal portion of the terminal. A nonconductive shroud encloses the bus bar. The end extends through shroud.

An electrical connector socket includes an outer receptacle and an inner receptacle disposed with the outer receptacle. A biasing element disposed between the inner receptacle and the outer receptacle biases the inner receptacle to a predetermined position with respect to the outer receptacle and allows displacement of the inner receptacle from the predetermined position to another position in response to an external force.

A contact terminal for connecting a pair of contact tabs includes a first tab reception volume, a second tab reception volume, a holder, and a contact spring attached to the holder. Each of the first tab reception volume and the second tab reception volume receive one of the pair of tabs in an insertion direction. The contact spring extends continuously from the first tab reception volume to the second tab reception volume and at least partially limits the first tab reception volume and the second tab reception volume on a side.
