Terminal-thermistor assembly

A terminal-thermistor assembly may include a thermistor and a terminal. The thermistor may include a body encasing a temperature-sensing element. The terminal may include a shaft and a housing disposed on an end of the shaft. The housing may include a cavity, a protrusion extending into the cavity and a cantilevered spring element. The spring element may be resiliently flexible between a first position in which a space between the spring element and the protrusion is less than a thickness of the body of the thermistor and a second position in which the space between the spring element and the protrusion is equal to the thickness of the body. A first surface of the thermistor body may contact the spring element and a second surface of the thermistor body opposite the first surface may contact the protrusion when the body is received within the cavity.

Field terminable plug assembly

A safety termination apparatus for connecting to a power conductor has first and second galvanic connections, a sensor wire, and an insulating housing. The first and second galvanic connections are connected to an uninsulated portion of the power conductor and a sensor wire is electrically connected to each galvanic connection. The insulating housing encloses the galvanic connections and has first and second compartments for enclosing the first and second galvanic connections. The first and second compartments separate the first and second galvanic connections such that the first and second galvanic connections are not electrically connected to each other than through a mutual connection to the power conductor.

CABLE FITTING FOR CONNECTING A HIGH-VOLTAGE CABLE TO A HIGH-VOLTAGE COMPONENT

A high-voltage cable fitting, typically a cable end termination or a cable joint, includes coaxially arranged around an axis a rigid conical insulator, an electrically insulating, elastomeric stress-relief cone matching the rigid conical insulator through a conical interface and an axially aligned current path. The current path connects a conductor of the cable to a high-voltage current terminal arranged on top of the rigid conical insulator and provided for connection to a high-voltage component. The rigid conical insulator is configured as a condenser core and includes a plurality of electrically conductive field-grading layers, which are arranged concentrically around the axis, and a rigid polymeric matrix which embeds the field-grading layers. In order to keep the size of the cable fitting small and to enable the fitting to carry high rated continuous currents a section of the cable conductor, which is stripped off the insulation of the cable, extends from the conical interface to the high-voltage current terminal and forms the axially aligned current path, and the condenser core comprises an axially aligned tubular duct which receives the stripped-off section of the cable conductor and which passes two opposing front faces of the condenser core.

A connector terminal with a unit-mountable connector of that includes a connector body having an adapter engagement end and a unit engagement end, and a mounting member therebetween for mounting the connector body to a unit. An insert extends through the connector body and has an inner bore extending between a cable interface end and a unit interface end, and a connector body interface portion between the ends. One or more double-sided contacts are received in the insert. The double-sided contact is one-piece with one end that is a cable termination end configured to terminate to a conductor of a cable and an opposite end that is a unit termination end configured to terminate to a conductor of the unit. The unit-mountable connector is adapted to mate with a cable sealing adapter. The cable sealing adapter is devoid of contact.

A conductor contact is provided having a sleeve (2) with an opening adapted to receive a free end (1) of a conductor. A contact tip (3) with an opening (35) is adapted to receive the sleeve (2), where the sleeve (2) has a tapered outer surface (21) on a compressible section surrounding the opening. The contact tip (3) has a tapered surface inside the opening adapted to compress the compressible section of the sleeve when the 10 contact tip surrounds the sleeve (2), and an outer smooth surface (34).

Angled bolt T-bar battery terminal clamp

A battery terminal clamp has a body portion with an intermediate aperture for engaging a battery post. The clamp further includes a threaded rod extending upwardly relative to the body portion at an angle to the horizontal of between 45 and 60. A battery pull bar extends from one side wall to the opposite side wall of the body portion. A wedge-shaped element abuts one side wall of the body portion. Together with the battery pull bar, the wedge-shaped element alternately effects a reduction in, or increase in, the size of the intermediate aperture.
