An electrical connector assembly is provided with a conductive body with a first aperture formed therein, and a second aperture formed therein intersecting the first aperture. A first post has an aperture formed radially therethrough. The first post is sized to be received within the first aperture of the conductive body with an end of the first post accessible externally from the conductive body for receipt of a first electrical connector. A fastener is sized to be received within the second aperture of the conductive body and extend through the aperture in the first post to retain the first post in the conductive body for electrical communication between the first electrical connector and the conductive body. A second post is exposed externally from the conductive body for receipt of a second electrical connector for electrical communication with the first electrical connector.

A splice assembly for engaging a conductor includes a brush configured to engage the conductor. The brush includes a housing having a first portion and a second portion. The housing defines a housing axis extending between the first portion and the second portion. The first portion defines a cavity having an open end. The second portion defines a bore. A diameter of the cavity is larger than a diameter of the bore. The cavity and the bore are configured to receive the conductor therethrough. The brush further includes a brush member secured within the cavity and positioned proximate the open end.

A combination terminal (1) has a first terminal (10) overlapping a second terminal (110) in a plate thickness direction. The first terminal (10) includes a base (41) and two inclined walls (20) intersecting surfaces of the base (41) from both lateral ends of the base (41) and forming an insertion/accommodation space (C) having a trapezoidal shape. The second terminal (110) includes an inserting piece (132) that overlaps the base (41) when inserted into the insertion/accommodation space (C). A locking claw (132A) on the inserting piece (132) locks the base (41) by overlapping the inserting piece (132) on the base plate (41). An external force absorbing tapered portion (133) projects laterally from the inserting piece (132) and comes into surface contact with one of the inclined walls (42) with the locking portion (132A) locked to the base (41).

A terminal block in which outflow of a sealing portion made of a rubber-based adhesive can be suppressed even when exposed to a heated environment, and the sealing properties can be maintained. The terminal block includes a housing having a resin portion, a bus bar, and the sealing portion. The bus bar integrally includes an embedded portion embedded in the resin portion, and a connecting portion projecting outward from the resin portion. The sealing portion fills a gap between the embedded portion and the resin portion. The sealing portion is made of a rubber-based adhesive. The bus bar includes a base material made of Cu or a Cu alloy, and an Sn-based plated layer made of Sn or an Sn alloy and partially covering a surface of the base material. The base material is exposed at a sealing region in contact with the sealing portion.

The technology relates to an electric current conducting assembly, more specifically with the incorporation of a dead end shoe.

Cable connectors for connecting two multicore cables are provided including a clamping sleeve, having a ceramic insulator with openings on each side of the sleeve, for accommodating core conductors. The clamping sleeve includes contact inserts passing through the clamping sleeve. Clamping elements are provided to clamp the core conductors to the contact inserts to electrically connect the multicore cables. The cable connector has a heat shrink tube that surrounds the clamping sleeve and the cables. Furthermore, cable termination including a clamping sleeve with a ceramic insulator with openings for core conductors is provided. Contact inserts are situated behind the openings to clamp the core conductors on the contact inserts establishing mechanical fixing of the core conductors on the clamping sleeve. The cable termination includes a heat shrink tube as according to the first aspect.
