An installation tool and methods for installing a splice kit for a heating cable is provided. The installation tool includes a body, a first channel, and a first cavity. The first channel is defined in the body and configured to retain a first insulating tubing of the splice kit. The first cavity is within the first channel and configured to retain a first connector of the splice kit. The body is configured to retain the first insulating tubing and the first connector in a predetermined formation during installation of the first insulating tubing and the first connector to the heating cable, and the body is further configured to be removed from the first insulating tubing and the first connector following installation of the first insulating tubing and the first connector to the heating cable.

There is provided an electric connection part including: a nut made of a metal, the nut being used for fixing a conductor; and a housing made of a resin, the housing having a press-fit groove into which the nut is press-fitted. The housing includes: a rib that protrudes from an inner side surface of the press-fit groove and extends along a press-fitting direction in which the nut is press-fitted into the press-fit groove, such that the rib presses the nut to be in contact with the nut; and a recess that is disposed on an extension line in which the rib extends, the recess being recessed in the press-fitting direction.

Flat surfaces out of two flat surfaces of each of flat electrical connection bodies of a relay bus bar and a bus bar of an electronic component are mating surfaces brought into contact with each other by a fixing structure. At least one of the flat electrical connection bodies of the relay bus bar and the bus bar applies a reaction force accompanying the elastic deformation to the other flat electrical connection body, to which the one flat electrical connection body is to be connected, in a state in which the flat electrical connection body of the bus bar at an accommodation completion position in a housing has not been connected to the relay bus bar. The housing includes a receiving portion receiving a force applied to the flat electrical connection body of the bus bar from the flat electrical connection body of the relay bus bar.

An electrical connection component includes a conductor, and a housing into which the conductor is press-fitted. The housing includes a press-fitted portion having a hollow shape and into which the conductor is press-fitted in a press-fitting direction, and a restriction portion provided at a position different from a position of the press-fitted portion, the restriction portion restricting at least a part of the conductor from being displaced in a direction different from the press-fitting direction from a time point when press-fitting of the conductor into the press-fitted portion is started to a time point when the press-fitting is completed.

A terminal unit 1 includes: a terminal fitting 10; and a holder 50. The terminal fitting 10 includes a connection portion 10A in which a bolt insertion hole 10C is formed, and the holder 50 includes a main body portion 50A that is configured to be attached to the connection portion 10A and a detent 50B that protrudes from the main body portion 50A and prevents the terminal fitting 10 from rotating.

The present invention is directed to a covering for a clamping assembly used to connect and ground solar panel modules to a mounting rail. The covering comprises a sleeve including an outer cover for connecting to the solar panel module and a connector shaped to be contained within the outer cover and connected to the outer cover through two or more flanges. The connector has an opening there through to receive a female member of the clamping assembly.

An appliance power connector includes a terminal block having a base. The base includes an upper surface and a lower surface. The base includes a pocket. The terminal block includes an upper shroud and a lower shroud. The upper shroud has upper shroud walls extending from the base forming an upper chamber above the upper surface. The lower shroud has lower shroud walls extending from the base forming a lower chamber below the lower surface. The appliance power connector includes a power terminal coupled to the terminal block. The power terminal includes a main body, an upper stud extending from a top of the main body and a lower stud extending from a bottom of the main body. The main body is received in the pocket. The upper stud is located in the upper chamber above the base for connection to an upper power cable terminal. The lower threaded stud is located in the lower chamber below the base for connection to a lower power cable terminal.

Provided is a substrate unit including a case accommodating a circuit board; a bus bar electrically connected to the circuit board, and includes an extending portion extending out of the case; and an external thread portion for electrically connecting the extending portion to a connection terminal of a wire harness, the external thread portion including a shaft portion with an external thread, and a head portion that is noncircular, and protrudes at one end portion of the shaft portion in a radial direction of the shaft portion, wherein the case includes a fitting recess to which the head portion is fitted by sliding the external thread portion in a direction intersecting an axial direction of the external thread portion, and that has an abutment surface by which the head portion is stopped, and, at least on the two sides of the abutment surface, relief recesses that define a gap.

Provided is a relay connector including a relay terminal including a first connection portion configured to connect to a first device side terminal and a second connection portion configured to connect to a second device side terminal; a clamping member including a first clamping portion configured to clamp the first device side terminal together with the first connection portion and a second clamping portion configured to clamp the second device side terminal together with the second connection portion; a lower case configured to hold the relay terminal; and an upper case configured to hold the clamping member, wherein a connector case includes a first insertion opening and a second insertion opening; and guide portions are formed on the clamping member, the guide portions guiding the first device side terminal inserted from the first insertion opening and the second device side terminal inserted from the second insertion opening.

A connector includes: a plate-shaped conductor having a through hole through which a fastening member is inserted; a housing holding the conductor and having an abutment surface; a nut having a screw hole into which the fastening member is screwed, and fixed to the housing along a first direction that is a direction in which the conductor extends; a support member fixed to the housing and restricting the nut from escaping from the housing; and a holding structure holding the nut, wherein the abutment surface is a surface against which a side surface of the nut abuts, such that the screw hole is positioned to be concentric with the through hole, and the holding structure holds the nut in a state where the side surface of the nut abuts against the abutment surface.
