An electrical contact for forming a materially bonded, electrically conductive connection to a mating contact comprises a contact surface and a soldering body. The contact surface has a recess extending into the contact surface. The soldering body is formed of a hard solder material and is pressed into the recess. The soldering body protrudes out from the recess beyond the contact surface.

An electrical terminal includes a base portion having a base portion outer surface, a base portion inner surface, and two securing tabs extending from an edge of the base portion. The electrical terminal also an attachment portion having an attachment portion outer surface an attachment portion inner surface. The base portion inner surface is proximate the attachment portion inner surface and wherein the two securing tabs overlay the attachment portion outer surface. The electrical terminal may be especially well suited for making an electrical connection to components disposed on a glass surface. A method for forming such a terminal is also presented.

A connection structure for an electric wire includes an electric wire that has a conductor and an outer sheath covering the conductor; a bonding member that is made of a conductive metal material and is attached to the electric wire and; and a busbar that is made of a conductive metal material and on which the bonding member is overlapped and ultrasonically bonded with the conductor interposed between the busbar and the bonding member. The bonding member includes a crimping portion for crimping and fixing the electric wire.

An automotive booster cable system includes a first battery clamp attached to a first battery a second battery clamp attached to a second battery; an optional electrical plug adapter with an adapter electrical connector for mating with the second battery clamp; and a booster cable assembly having a first polarized electrical booster connector for mating with the first battery clamp and a second polarized electrical booster connector for mating with either the electrical plug adapter or the second battery clamp.

An electrical terminal includes a planar base portion having a base portion outer surface, a base portion inner surface, and two securing tabs extending from an edge of the base portion. The electrical terminal also includes a planar attachment portion having an attachment portion outer surface, an attachment portion inner surface, and an attachment member extending from the attachment portion outer surface. The attachment member is configured to secure a wire cable to the electrical terminal. The base portion inner surface is arranged such that it is in contact with the attachment portion inner surface and the two securing tabs are bent over the attachment portion outer surface. The electrical terminal may be especially well suited for making an electrical connection to components disposed on a glass surface. A method for forming such a terminal is also presented.

This invention relates to an earthing bond seal for sealing between a flanged bush of an earthing bond and a substrate with which the flanged bush is to form an electrical connection, the seal comprising: an upper surface for engagement with the flange of the bush; a lower surface for engagement with the substrate; and an opening extending between the upper and lower surfaces, wherein the upper surface is provided with a first recess configured to receive the flange of the bush.

A connecting element comprises a first connecting region receiving a first connecting section and a second connecting region arranged above the first connecting region and receiving a second connecting section. An adhesively bonded connection between the first connecting section and the second connecting section is retained within the first connecting region and the second connecting region.
