A method for forming a connection between a wire and a pin includes placing a fixturing element over the pin, capturing the wire between an upper surface and a lower surface of the fixturing element, compressing the fixturing element to hold the wire around the pin and forming a fixed connection between the wire and the pin. A system for forming an electrical connection includes a pin, a fixturing element disposed around the pin, and a wire placed around pin and sandwiched between an upper surface and a lower surface of the fixturing element.

In a method for fastening a contact element (5, 6) in an electrical component (1), a contact element (5, 6) is arranged on a contact surface (3, 4) of a base body (2) of the component (1) and a laser beam (18) is directed onto a region (16, 17) of the contact element (5, 6) in such a way that the base body (2) is not located in the beam direction (24) of the laser beam (18). The contact element (5, 6) is partially melted by the laser beam (18), so that the molten material (7, 8) wets the contact surface (3, 4) and produces fastening of the contact element (5, 6) on the contact surface (3, 4).

Provided is a method of bonding an operation wire used in a medical equipment. The method includes: locally heating an adjacent region of a bonding region of an operation wire to generate an oxide in the adjacent region of the operation wire; coating the bonding region and the adjacent region with flux to remove an oxide in the bonding region and the oxide in the adjacent region; inserting a bonding end portion of the operation wire into a through-hole of a coupling material; injecting a melted bonding material into between the coupling material and the operation wire to integrally bond the coupling material and the operation wire such that the oxide remaining in the adjacent region prevents wet-spreading of the bonding material.

An electrical connector includes an inner signal contact, an outer shielding contact, and a cover. The outer contact has a crimping portion including a first crimp wing and a second crimp wing that are bendable towards each other to attach the outer shielding contact to a cable such that ends of the first crimp wing and the second crimp wing extend towards each other when the outer shielding contact is attached to the cable. The cover is configured to cover a braid or a protective layer of the cable that is arranged underneath the ends of the crimp wings when the outer shielding contact is attached to the cable.

A method of assembling a connector for automotive applications, comprising the steps of: providing a cable having at least one inner conductor; connecting an elongated inner signal contact of the connector to a stripped end of the at least one inner conductor; surrounding the elongated inner signal contact by an insulating element; placing a first shielding part of the connector around a first portion of the insulating element from a first radial direction; placing a second shielding part of the connector around a second portion of the insulating element from a second radial direction generally opposite to the first radial direction; and joining the first and second shielding parts to form a shielding contact of the connector surrounding the insulating element.

A connector is provided. The connector includes a shell assembly, a circuit board, a terminal, and an insulated block. The terminal includes a contact piece and a connecting piece including a connecting portion and a connecting pin, and an angle is between the connecting portion and the connecting pin. The insulated block is disposed on one side of the shell assembly, and the connecting pin passes through the insulated block to be connected to the circuit board. The connecting portion and a bending portion of the connecting piece are both embedded in the insulated block. The periphery of the contact piece is devoid of material receiving areas. The contact area of the contact piece has a pleasing appearance. Moreover, as the bending portion is completely embedded in the insulated block, insufficient molding and burr phenomenon during molding can be avoided.

A method for establishing a plug connection, and a method for strengthening a plug connection, wherein a connecting zone is welded with a laser beam which passes through a surrounding housing owing to transparency.
