A fastener for connecting an electrical conductor to a connector body includes a first portion adapted to engage an opening of the connector body and a second portion engaging the first portion. The second portion includes a head, a base coupled to the first portion and including an end adapted to engage the electrical conductor, and a shearable section positioned between the head and the base.

A straight through type connector capable of repeatedly pulling caps at both ends, including a first shell having a first jack hole, a middle body, a second shell having a second jack hole, a conductor, two elastic pieces and two flip caps. The middle body is arranged between the first shell and the second shell and the first shell, the two flip caps are in one-to-one correspondence and are respectively rotatably arranged in the first shell and the second shell, the conductor penetrates through the middle body and is fixed relative to the middle body, the conductor is located above the two elastic pieces and respectively form a holding space for holding wires, one of the two elastic pieces is arranged in the first shell, the other elastic piece is arranged in the second shell. The connector can be firmly connected with the wires, avoiding bad contact.

An electric wire connector connecting at least two wires includes a connector housing having a housing base and a housing cover, the housing base divided into at least two compartments, and at least two contact terminals each arranged in a different one of the at least two compartments. The at least two contact terminals are connected to one another by an electrically conductive member. The housing cover has a wire receiving opening receiving one of the at least two wires in an insertion direction. The housing cover is linearly movable relative to the housing base from an open position receiving the one of the at least two wires to a closed position terminating the one of the at least two wires.

This disclosure provides a method and apparatus for connecting and disconnecting a first wire to a second wire. More specifically, an apparatus that includes a first electrical contact, a second electrical contact, an insulated housing, and a male contact prong (i.e., a shunt) is disclosed. In an embodiment, the first and second electrical contacts conductively connect with a first and second wire, respectively, via an insulation displacement connector. Furthermore, the male contact prong conductively connects (i.e., shunts) the first and second electrical contacts together. A wire-to-wire contact with shunt allows for two wires to be quickly and efficiently connected and disconnected.

An electrical connector system includes a connector with a plug. A shroud extends over a portion of the plug and is coupled with the plug. A conductive socket is configured for receiving the plug of the connector. The socket includes a groove formed on an outer surface thereof. The shroud includes spring fingers having a lock portion thereon configured for engaging the groove for securing the connector in the socket. A collar is slidably mounted on the conductive socket and is configured for sliding between a locked position proximate to the socket groove and an unlocked position. The collar is further configured for engaging the spring fingers of the connector shroud in the locked position to hold the finger lock portions engaged with the groove to lock the connector in the socket.

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.
