An electrical apparatus such as an electrical contactor or a terminal block, comprises a casing made of an electrically insulating material, a conductive bar mounted in the casing and at least one push-in type connection terminal. The terminal comprises a contact spring having an elastic portion undergoing an elastic deformation under the action of an external force applied on the contact spring either by an electrical conductor during its insertion at a first aperture of the casing so as to place the electrical conductor in a contact position located between the contact spring and the conductive bar in order to establish an electrical connection between the electrical conductor and the conductive bar, or by a tool inserted into a second aperture of the casing so as to open the contact spring and release the electrical conductor in order to remove it out of its contact position. The electrical apparatus comprises a support clip independent of the casing and of the conductive bar. The clip comprises fastening elements allowing mounting of the support clip on the contact spring and delimits a bearing face against which the contact spring bears during the deformation of its elastic portion under the action of the external force in order to impose the manner in which the elastic portion spatially deforms and against which the contact spring abuts in its maximum deformation state in order to limit the elastic deformation of the elastic portion of the contact spring below a predetermined value regardless of the intensity of the external force.

A wiring connector housing including a housing body having first and second ends and at least one interference tab extending outwardly from the second end is provided. The wiring connector housing further comprises spaced apart channels located through the housing body extending from the first end to the second end with the first end of the channels each configured to receive a quick connector therein. Each of the second ends of the spaced apart channels being located to register with and receive corresponding quick connect terminals therein. The at least one interference tab is configured to contact an isolation ridge of an electrical relay and thereby prevent the second ends of the spaced apart channels from being improperly registered with the corresponding quick connect terminals.

A communication plug having a plug body and a plurality of contact pairs at least partially within the plug body, the contact pairs including an inherent asymmetric coupling between individual contacts of one of the contact pairs and other individual contacts of another of the contact pairs. Second asymmetric coupling elements are connected between the individual contacts of one of the contact pairs and the other individual contacts of another of the contact pairs. The second asymmetric coupling elements, when combined with the inherent asymmetric coupling, provide a balanced symmetric coupling between the individual contacts of one of the contact pairs and the other individual contacts of another of the contact pairs.

The invention provides a modular electrical power transfer device that enables push-in, pull-out connection between electrical power supply wires and interface components. The electrical power transfer device includes at least two physically isolated electrical buses mounted within a non-conducting housing. Each electrical bus includes a blade connector and one or more wire shark-bite connectors. The wire shark-bite connectors can engage with electrical power supply wires, the resulting mechanical and electrical connections enable the electrical bus to receive power from the connected supply wires and redistribute electrical power to another device connected to the electrical bus. The blade connector can engage with a blade contact from an interface component, the resulting mechanical and electrical connections enable transfer of electrical power from the electrical bus to the interface component.

A terminal that is capable of positively scraping off insulation coating of an electric wire. A wire connection portion is formed with a slit. A pair of positioning portions and a pair of supporting portions are disposed with the slit of the wire connection portion therebetween. A spacing between the pair of supporting portions is smaller than a spacing between the pair of positioning portions. Each supporting portion is formed with a corner portion in an end portion thereof toward a positioning portion associated therewith. Each positioning portion is formed with a cutout in an end portion thereof toward the supporting portion. An inner surface of the cutout is continuous with a surface of each corner portion toward the positioning portion.

An electrical connector is provided. The electrical connector includes two or more electrically conductive prongs. Each electrically conductive prong may have a tapered distal end operable to axially contact a conductor of a cable when a force is applied to axially push the cable onto the two or more electrically conductive prongs. Each electrically conductive prong may have a proximal end operable to be electrically coupled to a respective connector conductor.

An electrical cable connector includes a contact subassembly having a center contact, a dielectric holder, and an outer contact. The dielectric holder defines a channel that is open at a top side of the dielectric holder. The center contact has a termination region that is held in the channel. The termination region includes a first cable insulation displacement (CID) feature. The outer contact includes a second CID feature extending from a base wall of the outer contact outside of the dielectric holder. The second CID feature extends into the channel through an aperture in the dielectric holder. The first CID feature engages a core conductor of a cable and the second CID feature engages a shield layer of the cable as the cable is loaded into the channel from above the top side of the dielectric holder.

A receptacle connector is provided for a wearable article. The receptacle connector includes a housing having a receptacle configured to receive a complementary plug connector therein. The housing is configured to be mounted to the wearable article. A printed circuit board is held by the housing. The printed circuit board includes mating contacts for mating with the plug connector. The printed circuit board includes mounting contacts that are configured to terminate conductors of a flat cable of the wearable article or an e-textile of the wearable article.
