A quick disconnect system for an accessory electrically coupled to a component of an amusement attraction includes a multi-part electrical enclosure including a first side, a second side opposite the first side, a first opening on the first side, and a relief pass through. The multi-part electrical enclosure is configured to: have a first electrical cable coupled to the accessory pass into the multi-part electrical enclosure via the first opening and have a second electrical cable pass into the second side of the multi-part electrical enclosure to enable the first and second cables to be coupled together within the multi-part electrical enclosure. The relief pass through is configured to provide strain relief to both the first electrical cable and the second electrical cable and to prevent disconnection of the accessory from the multi-part electrical enclosure.

It is aimed to prevent the damage of terminal fittings. A connector device (A) is provided with a case formed with an opening portion in a front surface and having an open lower surface, and a board connector including L-shaped terminal fittings and a housing to be mounted into the opening portion. The terminal fitting includes a penetrating portion extending in a front-rear direction and a board connecting portion extending downward from a rear end of the penetrating portion and to be accommodated into the case. The housing includes a terminal holding member for holding the penetrating portions penetrating therethrough, the terminal holding member being mounted into the opening portion from behind, and a protecting member separate from the terminal holding member, the protecting member surrounding front end parts of the penetrating portions by being mounted into the opening portion from front.

Backplane employing floating backplane network interconnects for electrical coupling with blade computer systems and related methods. To provide a displacement tolerant interconnection system between the backplane interconnects and respective blade backplane interconnects of blade computer systems to establish electrical connections therebetween, the backplane interconnects are provided as floating backplane interconnections. The floating backplane interconnects are configured to move and be displaced relative to the backplane while still retaining an electrical connection to the backplane. The backplane interconnects each include one or more flex circuits connected to electrical interconnects on the backplane on a first end, and electrical interconnects on a backplane connector on a second end. The flex circuit(s) include an electrical cable that includes a polymer or other material surrounding electrical wires to allow the flex circuit and its internal electrical wires to bend and flex, and thus move relative to backplane.

In a connector assembly in which a first connector and a second connector are fitted to each other, a first shell, which has a rectangular frame-like shape and serves as an outer shell of the first connector, includes curved portions on upper ends of respective sides of the rectangle, and a second shell, which has a rectangular frame-like shape and serves as an outer shell of the second connector, includes convex portions, which are elongated along respective sides to be slender, on outer surfaces on the sides of the rectangle. The curved portions and the convex portions are positioned so that the curved portions and the convex portions are partially overlapped with each other. The convex portions are in contact with the first shell through the entire lengths, and the curved portions are in contact with the second shell through the entire lengths.

A connector, with which an electrical wire is attachable, is connectable with a mating connector which has a mating contact portion. The connector comprises a housing and at least one terminal. The housing is provided with a support. The support has a receiving portion. The receiving portion is configured to receive a part of the electrical wire. The at least one terminal has an insulation displacement connection (IDC) portion, a contact portion, a supporting portion and a coupling portion. The IDC portion is configured to be insulation-displacement connected with the electrical wire. The support is positioned between the IDC portion and the supporting portion in a first predetermined direction. The coupling portion couples the IDC portion and the supporting portion with each other. The coupling portion has a neighboring portion. The neighboring portion neighbors to the support in a second predetermined direction perpendicular to the first predetermined direction.

An electrical receptacle includes a printed circuit board (PCB), a power control unit coupled to the PCB, AC electrical conductors, and an electrical receptacle coupled to the PCB. The electrical contacts are in electrical communication with respective ones of the electrical conductors. A first portion of each electrical conductor is coupled to a power source and a second portion of each electrical conductor is coupled to respective ones of the electrical contacts. The power control unit includes a controller and a switch, the switch operable to selectively establish continuity between the first and second portions of at least one of the electrical conductors. The controller is configured to selectively place the switch into either a closed position or an open position in response to a signal received from an environmental or occupancy sensor.

A power semiconductor module includes a substrate, having power semiconductor components, further including a housing element, and having a DC voltage connection device having a flat lead connection device and a second flat lead connection element, wherein the flat lead connection device has a first flat lead connection element encased by a plastic element of the flat lead connection device and materially bonded to the plastic element, wherein a connection section of the first flat lead connection element projects from the plastic element, a connection section of the second flat lead connection element is arranged on the plastic element or is at least partly enclosed by the plastic element and bonded to the plastic element so that a section of the plastic element is between the first flat lead connection element and the connection section of the second flat lead connection element.

This disclosure provides a method and apparatus for connecting wires and interlocking wires to an electrical component. More specifically, an electrical connector that includes an insulative housing, two electrical contacts, and two interlocking contacts is disclosed. In an embodiment, each electrical contact includes a female end, a press-fit end, and a transition portion. The transition portion is designed such that the first female end and the first press-fit end may be properly aligned depending on the application. The transition portion also provides support and stability to the electrical contacts when they are disposed within the insulative housing. The insulative housing includes four contact recesses. In an embodiment, the electrical connector allows for the safe, efficient, re-usable, and reliable connection for connecting high-voltage wires to a corresponding sensitive electrical component (e.g., a printed circuit board).
