A wiring member includes: at least one first cover wire; at least one second cover wire; and a first sheet to which at least the first cover wire is fixed, wherein a first hole is formed in the first sheet, and a connection part where a core wire of the first cover wire and a core wire of the second cover wire are connected is located in a region where the first hole is formed.

A cable connector includes a cable including a center conductor and a housing supporting a portion of the center conductor. An imaginary line divides a cross-section of the center conductor into two semicircles, and when the cable connector is mated with a mating connector, only one of the two semicircles is directly connected with a corresponding contact of the mating connector.

Connectors that support high-speed data transfers and have a high signal quality, good reliability, and are readily manufactured. One example can provide a connector receptacle that supports high-speed data transfers and has a high signal quality by employing contacts that are directly attached to a flexible circuit board.

Provided are terminal-free connectors for flexible interconnect circuits. A connector for connecting to a flexible interconnect circuit comprises a base comprising a housing chamber defined by at least a first side wall and a second side wall that are oppositely positioned about the base. A circuit clamp is coupled to the base via a first hinge, and is configured to move between a released position and a clamped position. A cover piece is coupled to the base via a second hinge, and is configured to move between an open position and a closed position. The circuit clamp is configured to secure the flexible interconnect circuit between the base and the circuit clamp in the clamped position. One or more protrusions on the circuit clamp are each configured to interface with a socket within the first or second side wall to secure the circuit clamp in the clamped position.

Systems and methods for an electrical connector (e.g., of a vehicle) include a housing and a terminal at least partially disposed in the housing, defining a set of angled blade terminals, and configured to electrically connect to (i) an electrical system along a first axis and (ii) a set of exposed conductive circuit traces of a flexible circuit (FC) arranged along a second axis, wherein an acute angle is defined between the first and second axes and corresponds to the set of angled blade terminals.

The presently disclosed subject matter provides an electrical switch adaptor for connecting an electrical switch to an electrical device. In a preferred embodiment, the electrical switch adaptor is configured for use with a PCB (Printed Circuit Board)-mounted tactile switch button. In some embodiments, the electrical switch adaptor is a flexible PCB strip comprising a first end designed to fit around, and electrically connect to, the tactile switch button body, and a second end designed for electrical connection to an electrical device. When the electrical switch adaptor is electrically connected to a switch button and to an electrical device, a user may operate the switch button via the electrical device.

Self-aligning mounting systems and methods for an electrical connectors and controllers of an electrified vehicle include a dock member configured to be fixedly attached to a frame of the electrified vehicle and to at least temporarily secure the electrical controller therein and at least one floating electrical connector floatably mateable with the dock member such that the floating electrical connector is movable by a tolerance distance amount along each of at least first and second perpendicular axes that are each parallel to the base portion of the dock member, and configured to, during securement of the electrical controller within the dock member along a third axis perpendicular to the first and second axes, electrically connect a first connection portion of the floating electrical connector to a corresponding other electrical connector, such as an inline electrical connector or an electrical connector in a bottom surface of the electrical controller housing.

Electronic modules and methods of fabrication are described. In an embodiment, an electronic module includes a molded system-in-package, and a flexible circuit mounted on a side surface of a molding compound layer such that the flexible circuit is in electrical contact with a lateral interconnect exposed along the side surface of the molding compound layer.

A method for producing a catheter includes inserting a temporary mandrel into a catheter tube, followed by preshaping a FPCB in a round hollow cylindrical shape and position it on the catheter tube. Then a shrink tube is positioned around the FPCB on the outside of the catheter tube. The assembly is preheated to the point that the shrink tube has fully contracted and directly contacts and closes the FPCB around the catheter tube. Then the assembly is heated above the melting temperature of the catheter tube to reflow the catheter tube material around the FPCB inside the shrinking tube. After a resting period to allow solidification of the assembly material the mandrel is removed from the inner lumen of the re-solidified catheter tube, and finally the shrink tube is removed.
