Systems, devices, and methods including: a cable; a housing having a tapered exit hole connected to an internal volume; a tapered seal having a tapered outer surface and an inner aperture, where the inner aperture of the tapered seal receives the cable; an encapsulant disposed in the internal volume and about one or more wires of the cable; and a compression cap placed over the tapered seal and about a flange of the housing to compress the tapered seal into the tapered exit hole; where compression from the compression cap forces the encapsulant up inside the cable and around the one or more wires of the cable, and where curing of the encapsulant seals the cable from moisture incursion.

A receptacle connector device for electrical vehicle use in accordance with the present invention is disposed at a battery terminal of an electric vehicle and is connected to a plug connector in a charging station. The receptacle connector comprises an insulating body and a plurality of conducting elements. The insulating body is made of waterproof plastic materials and the plurality of the conducting elements are made of metal materials. The insulating body has a plurality of concentric circular grooves and a transverse portion. The plurality of the conducting elements are respectively disposed in the plurality of the concentric circular grooves, characterized in that: each of the plurality of the conducting elements forms a rough surface, thereby to enlarge contact area between the plurality of the conducting elements and the insulating body in moulding process for firm combination of plastic and metal materials.

An electrical feedthrough for a pressure housing includes two feedthrough elements having substantially matching external shape and dimension. Each feedthrough element extends straight along an element axis between a first element end portion and a second element end portion. A connecting element is releasably connected to the feedthrough elements and has opposite sides, with one of the opposite sides having a contact area upon which the first element end portion of one of the feedthrough elements abuts, and with the other one of the opposite sides having a contact area upon which the first element end portion of the other one of the feedthrough elements abuts. At least one of the feedthrough elements includes an electrical feedthrough conductor which extends along the element axis of the feedthrough element and abuts a connecting conductor of the connecting element.

A contact pin for an electrical plug includes a contact element formed of an electrically conductive material and a contact protection formed of an electrically non-conductive material and at least partially enclosing the contact element. A cooling channel system conducting a cooling fluid is formed in the contact protection. The cooling channel system has a cooling fluid supply and a cooling fluid return connected to the cooling fluid supply in a fluid conducting manner. The fluid cooling channel extends to a distal end of the contact element that faces a mating plug matable with the electrical plug.

It is aimed to improve anti-vibration performance. A connector includes a terminal holding member made of synthetic resin for holding terminal fittings and a case made of metal for accommodating one end part of each terminal fitting by being integrated with the terminal holding member. The case includes a displacement restricting portion having an irregular shape, and the displacement restricting portion is formed on a contact surface of the case with the terminal holding member. When the case made of metal and the terminal holding member made of synthetic resin are thermally deformed, an anchoring effect by the engagement of the displacement restricting portion and the terminal holding member is achieved on the contact surface of the case with the terminal holding member to suppress relative displacements between the case and the terminal holding member.

There is provided a connector including: a housing; and a terminal-equipped electric wire assembled to the housing. The terminal-equipped electric wire includes: a terminal; an electric wire; and a flexible conductor provided between the terminal and the electric wire. The flexible conductor is divided into a plurality of divided conductor portions along an axial direction of the flexible conductor. The divided conductor portions are bent in different directions from each other.

Provided are an electric appliance and a method of manufacturing the same, the electric appliance having a smaller size and a reduced overall weight by preventing a fluid from flowing into a space unrelated to a heating component in a state where the fluid fills its case.

The electric appliance includes: a case including a first space and a second space communicated to each other; a first component disposed in the first space; a second component disposed in the second space; a connection portion electrically connecting the first component and the second component to each other; and a potting pattern including a resin material and formed in the first space.
