A coaxial electrical cable assembly includes a central conductor disposed within a shield conductor of the coaxial cable and a shield terminal having a tubular portion. The central conductor of the coaxial cable is disposed within the tubular portion. The tubular portion is disposed within the shield conductor of the coaxial cable. The coaxial electrical cable assembly also includes a first outer ferrule crimped that is around the shield conductor of the coaxial cable and forms a first seam. The coaxial electrical cable assembly further includes a second outer ferrule that is crimped around the first outer ferrule and forms a second seam. The first seam and the second seam are radially offset from one another.

A cable connector includes a cable including a center conductor, a first housing, and an overmold attached to the cable and the first housing. The cable connector can include a second housing and the overmold can be attached to the second housing. Alternatively, a cable connector system includes a cable connector including a first latch, and a board connector including a second latch and a shield, wherein the shield is staked to a substrate, and a body of the cable connector includes an outer wall that extends over the shield when the cable connector is mated to the board connector.

A method and apparatus for securing an electrical connection formed by a mating structure including prongs of a male assembly and receptacles of a female assembly are provided. In certain embodiments, the electrical connection can be secured by frictional engagement between the plug and receptacle housings. This can be accomplished by forcing a wedge into an interface between the housings or expanding a locking element, such as an elastomeric ring, into the interface. Such locking and releasing of the secure connection can be actuated using a locking nut.

A method and apparatus is presented for strain relief for mil-spec RF cabling connectors. When the RF signals are carried on the cables, they are either attached to connectors to increase their lengths or they get attached to hardware assembly that receives and transmits RF signals. At connections, strain relief is provided so that any movement of the cables does not convey stress and strain to the points where cable joins the connector or its mate. A concise, space restricted strain relief solution is provided by use of clamp, cover or shrink tubing to transfer cables in all four directions. The concentric cables line up in small dimensions and are replaceable individually as opposed to discard of entire mesh of cables on single cable failure.

A motor vehicle handle includes a handle body with a first longitudinal end, a second longitudinal end, and a receiving space is formed on the handle body between the first longitudinal end and the second longitudinal end. An electronic module is arranged within the receiving space. At least one cable, which is used to transmit information and/or energy, connects a connection plug to the electronic module. A free end of a bearing arm which can be pivotally mounted on a motor vehicle protrudes from the first longitudinal end of the handle body, and the connection plug is arranged on the bearing arm free end. A strain-relief cable guide element, which is designed to guide the at least one cable, is releasably attached to the handle body and extends between the electronic module and the connection plug.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for pinless interconnect for twinaxial cables to an IC. This includes a socket coupled to an integrated circuit (IC), a port structure coupled to the socket, and a ground connector inserted into the port structure. It further includes a twinaxial cable including a pair of conductors inserted through the ground connector to establish an electrical connection between the twinaxial cable and the IC.

A connection includes a widened reinforcement harness which comprises a reinforced harness, a non-deformable ferrule and a reinforcement portion which has a greater diameter than the reinforcement of the harness, the non-deformable ferrule being arranged around the harness with the reinforcement of the harness folded on the outer side of the non-deformable ferrule, a first end of the reinforcement portion being attached around the folded portion of the reinforcement of the harness, the connection further comprising an integrated coupling connector, a second end of the reinforcement portion of the widened reinforcement harness being attached to a section of the integrated coupling connector. This connection is particularly advantageous for the small harness, wherein the reinforcement of the harness has a diameter which is too small to surround the section of an integrated coupling connector.

Provided is a cable holding member including: a main body; a through-hole; and a cover portion, wherein the through-hole is configured to allow a cable to be inserted therethrough the main body, a part of the cover portion is configured to, upon the cover portion being bent relative to the main body, be capable of covering a plane intersecting with a direction where the cable is inserted, at an opening end face of an opening portion of the through-hole, the main body includes a latch portion, the cover portion includes a cantilever elastic piece having a latched portion, and it is configured in such a manner that upon the cover portion being bent relative to the main body, the elastic piece is elastically displaced at least in a direction along the direction where the cable is inserted, and the latched portion is capable of being latched to the latch portion.

A coaxial electrical cable assembly includes a central conductor disposed within a shield conductor of the coaxial cable and a shield terminal having a tubular portion. The central conductor of the coaxial cable is disposed within the tubular portion. The tubular portion is disposed within the shield conductor of the coaxial cable. The coaxial electrical cable assembly also includes a first outer ferrule crimped that is around the shield conductor of the coaxial cable and forms a first seam. The coaxial electrical cable assembly further includes a second outer ferrule that is crimped around the first outer ferrule and forms a second seam. The first seam and the second seam are radially offset from one another.

A protector includes a plurality of lead-out openings through which electric cables are configured to be led out, and an electric cable attachment part which is provided in a projecting manner at an opening edge part of the lead-out opening and to which the electric cables are configured to be attached through a hinge part with flexibility. The electric cable attachment part is bent toward the lead-out opening by the hinge part, and a bent state thereof is configured to be held by a holding part.
