An electric motor built for exposure to high pressure fluid includes a unitary metal sleeve that provides a fluid barrier between the rotor and the stator. An overmolded resin encapsulates the stator windings and reinforces the sleeve to minimize deformation of the sleeve under high fluid pressures. The overmolded resin also fixes the positions of insulation displacement connectors connected to the stator windings, thereby avoiding mechanical brackets and fasteners for holding the insulation displacement connectors in position.

A power distribution system includes a plurality of wires extending between a first end and a second end. The wires extend continuously between the first and second ends, Each wire includes an electrical conductor and an insulation layer. The power distribution system further includes a receptacle selectively positionable at any position along a length of the wires. The power receptacle includes a housing defining at least one power outlet. A plurality of connection members is positioned within the housing. Each connection member includes a first end and a second end. The first end is configured to contact the electrical conductors within the insulation layers of the plurality of wires for electrically connecting the plurality of connection members to the plurality of wires. The second end is configured to electrically connect the plurality of connection members to the at least one power outlet.

A connector includes a terminal configured to be connected to a wire, a plate-like housing has a terminal accommodating portion configured to accommodate the terminal, the housing having a ceiling wall portion that blocks an upper of a front portion of the terminal accommodating portion and an opening portion which is opened at an upper of a rear portion of the terminal accommodating portion, and a cover configured to cover the opening portion of the terminal accommodating portion when the cover is assembled to the housing. A protruding portion is provided on a front end portion of the cover. The protruding portion presses the terminal located in a primary locking position forward in the front-rear direction to move the terminal from the primary locking position to a regular insertion position when the cover is assembled to the housing.

A terminal is to be connected to an electric wire including a conductor core wire and a sheath covering the conductor core wire. The terminal includes a connection portion and a conductor fixing portion which is located rearward of the connecting portion and configured to fix the conductor core wire exposed from the electric wire. The connection portion and the conductor fixing portion are integrally formed to each other and are extended in a front-rear direction. The conductor fixing portion has through holes penetrating in a thickness direction of the conductor fixing portion. An end edge portion of each of the plurality of through holes on an outer peripheral surface side of the conductor fixing portion is provided with a tapered portion that increases in diameter of the tapered portion toward an outer peripheral surface of the conductor fixing portion.
