20220050249 · 2022-02-17 · ·

A terminal connector or two-part connector comprising male and female parts having respective contact pins and contact receivers (10,15) of a construction generally known in the art. In the body (1) of the or at least one part, closely juxtaposed a terminal block (9), there is provided a conductor management device (8) adapted to receive conductors (12) as they are unbundled from the connected cable or reel and support the unbundled or individual conductors through the transitional region of the connector part to where they are secured at the terminal block (9). The conductor management device (8) has through body apertures defining each conductor path (14) to align each conductor with its respective receiver (13). In a different configuration, the conductor management device provides strain relief to the conductors, provides support and conductor rigidity, provides a locking means and is a bore modifier.

A feedthrough for a connector system includes an insulator comprising a passage therethrough, a conductor pin located in the passage, and a pressure sleeve located between the insulator and the conductor pin. The pressure sleeve is coupled to the insulator and to the conductor pin, and the conductor pin is movable relative to the insulator under thermal or pressure expansion or contraction.

HIGH VOLTAGE CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY AND MOTOR-OPERATED COMPRESSOR INCLUDING THE SAME
20220045455 · 2022-02-10 · ·

A high-voltage connector assembly and a motor-operated compressor including the same are disclosed. The high-voltage connector assembly according to embodiments disclosed herein may include a cover defining an outer appearance and a shielding plate designed to shield an electrical noise signal. The cover and the shielding plate may be integrally formed by a double shot molding or insert injection molding. Accordingly, manufacturing time and costs of the cover and the shielding plate may be reduced. In addition, the cover and the shielding plate may be coupled to each other in a more stable manner. Further an outer circumferential portion of the shielding plate may have a higher roughness than the cover. Alternatively, the outer circumferential portion of the shielding plate may be provided with a plate protrusion or an uneven portion. Accordingly, a contact area between the shielding plate and the cover may be increased.

Electrical connection apparatus and method

A technique facilitates mechanical and electrical connection between components. The components may be coupled mechanically by a threaded engagement and electrically by first and second electrical couplers. The first and second electrical couplers may each have a plurality of electrical contacts oriented for linear engagement. The electrical contacts of the second electrical coupler are mounted on a first portion of the second electrical coupler which is rotatably received by a second portion to enable linear engagement of the electrical contacts while rotating the components relative to each other to form the mechanical connection.

The core 11 of the coated wire 10 is provided with a core fixing portion 25 integrated with the core 11 and the core fixing portion 25 is embedded in the housing 30 by molding.

Corrosion Protected Communication Connections And Related Methods

Corrosion within a flangeless connector, or at an associated connection of a device or medium (e.g., cable), used in a wireless base station may be reduced by incorporating a seating member, e.g., an O-ring, between the connector and a connector port. Conductive plating selectively applied within the connector port may provide a low-resistance ground connection between the port and the connector, while a non-conductive coating selectively applied to a surface against which the seating member is seated may form a weather-tight seal. The connection between the connector and the connector port is thereby protected from moisture, while exposed surfaces of the connector port re protected by the non-conductive coating.
