Quick junction box
A quick junction box includes a junction box base having a cavity suitably sized and shaped for receiving therein the first set of existing wires and the second set of existing wires, a plurality of electrically conductive members housed within the junction box base, a junction box cover lid having a plurality of apertures for receiving a plurality of existing fasteners therethrough, and a lock for attaching the junction box cover lid to the junction box base. The plurality of electrically conductive members are configured to enable electrical connections between the first set of existing wires and the second set of existing wires while the first set of existing wires and the second set of existing wires remain physically spaced apart within the junction box housing.
CABLE CONNECTORS AND CABLE CONNECTOR SYSTEMS AND METHODS INCLUDING SAME
A cable connector (100-900) for connecting an electrical cable, the electrical cable including a cable conductor having a terminal end portion, the terminal end portion having an end face, includes an electrically conductive connector body (110), a conductor bore (102) in the connector body (110), a securing mechanism, and a contact mechanism (141). The connector bore (102) defines a conductor bore axis and is configured to receive the terminal end portion of the cable conductor along the conductor bore axis. The securing mechanism is operable to clamp onto the terminal end portion. The contact mechanism (141) includes a pressure member (170A, 170B), an electrical contact surface, and a drive mechanism (151). The drive mechanism (151) is selectively operable to drive the pressure member (170A, 170B) to force the electrical contact surface against the end face of the cable conductor.
Magnetic connector assembly
A magnetic connector assembly has a female connector with spring-loaded conductive pins slightly protruding inside a recess or cavity in the female connector's body. A corresponding male connector has a protrusion on its body with conductive pins slightly indented into the protrusion's surface. The protrusion on the male connector is sized and shaped to fit into the cavity in the female connector such that the male connector's pins engage the pins of the female connector, allowing for electrical communication across the connector assembly. Magnets on the male and female connectors secure them in a correct orientation. A unique shape ensures proper alignment of the pins and prevents the connection of incompatible devices.

CONNECTOR
A connector includes a resin housing to be assembled to a wall portion of a box-shaped body, a bus bar held by the housing and having a fastened portion that is disposed inside the wall portion and is to be connected to a terminal fitting by fastening using a bolt, and a nut held by the housing with a gap between the nut and the fastened portion, the gap allowing insertion of the terminal fitting and engaged with the bolt to fasten the fastened portion and the terminal fitting inserted into the gap together. In the bus bar, a recessed portion recessed such that the bus bar is cut off is provided inside the wall portion. The recessed is exposed to an outside of the housing without being covered with a resin constituting the housing.
