An installation tool for forcibly inserting a first work piece into a fitting hole of a second work piece comprises a body, a holding head, a power lever, and a hammering tool. The body has a front end and a rear end opposite the front end in a longitudinal direction. The holding head is connected to the front end of the body and configured to hold the second work piece. The power lever is movably mounted on the body and extends in the longitudinal direction. The hammering tool is configured to hammer the power lever to exert an impact force on the power lever, the power lever pushing the first work piece in the longitudinal direction under the impact force to forcibly insert the first work piece into the fitting hole of the second work piece.

A sensor package includes at least one conductive trace providing a voltage common and a base supporting the at least one conductive trace. A conductive extension extends from the base so as to contact a conductor of an insulated conductor when the sensor package is mounted on an insulator of the insulated conductor and thereby provide an electrical connection between the conductive trace providing the voltage common and the conductor.

A connector terminal that is to be attached to a connector housing includes: a terminal main body unit including a wire connection section that is to be electrically connected to a core wire of a wire; and a cover unit configured to be attached to the wire connection section, and to cover the wire connection section. The wire connection section includes a locking portion configured to lock the cover unit. The cover unit includes an engagement portion configured to be engaged with the locking portion so as to lock the cover unit to the wire connection section, and a pressing portion configured to, in a state in which the engagement portion is engaged with the locking portion, sandwich and press the core wire of the wire between the pressing portion and the wire connection section.

A bail for forming a mechanical and electrical connection includes an inboard section and an outboard section. The inboard section includes an elongate, electrically conductive multi-strand conductor. The outboard section includes an elongate, electrically conductive solid rod conductor electrically connected to the multi-strand conductor.

A wedge connector system for connecting first and second elongate electrical conductors includes a C-shaped sleeve member, a wedge member and a locking mechanism. The sleeve member defines a sleeve cavity and opposed first and second sleeve channels on either side of the sleeve cavity. The wedge member includes a wedge body having first and second opposed wedge side walls. The locking mechanism includes a lock member including a sleeve engagement portion, and a clamping mechanism coupled to the wedge member. The sleeve member and the wedge member are configured to capture the first and second conductors such that the first conductor is received in the first sleeve channel between the sleeve member and the first wedge side wall and the second conductor is received in the second sleeve channel between the sleeve member and the second wedge side wall. The locking mechanism is mountable on the sleeve member and the wedge member such that the sleeve engagement portion interlocks with the sleeve member and the clamping mechanism can be operated to force the wedge member into the sleeve cavity to apply clamping loads on the first and second conductors.

A bus bar assembly for electrically connecting a plurality of battery cells having electrode leads is provided. The bus bar assembly includes a bus bar support frame having an opening; an insertion bus bar, the insertion bus bar being displaceable relative to the bus bar support frame in the opening; side-adhering bus bars positioned with the insertion bus bar being interposed therebetween to form fitting spaces respectively besides opposite sides of the insertion bus bar so that at least one electrode lead is insertable into each of the fitting spaces; and a support member configured to support the insertion bus bar at a location protruding further from the bus bar support frame than the side-adhering bus bars protrude from the bus bar support frame, the support member being elastically deformable by the insertion bus bar when the insertion bus bar is pressed.

A terminal to be coupled to a front end portion of an electric wire. The terminal includes a terminal body and a slider. The terminal body includes a holding section holding a core wire of the electric wire. The slider is movable in a front-rear direction between a first position and a second position that is on a front side with respect to the first position while the slider being fitted on a section of the terminal body including the holding section. The slider includes a pressing portion that presses the holding section toward the electric wire when the slider is at the second position. The slider includes a pressure receiving portion that is pushed from a rear side to move the slider from the first position to the second position. The slider includes a support portion that receives a force applied to the pressure receiving portion that is pushed.

A joint connector for connecting a plurality of wires includes a lower housing, an upper cover assembled with the lower housing, a plurality of terminals respectively connected to front end parts in an extending direction of the plurality of wires, and a busbar connected to the plurality of terminals. The busbar disposed in the lower housing includes a plurality of tabs. Each of the plurality of terminals disposed in the lower housing includes a tube portion, each of the plurality of tabs being inserted into the tube portion, sandwiching portions extending along the extending direction and configured to sandwich one of the plurality of wires, and a sliding portion disposed outside the sandwiching portions, movable along the extending direction and including pressurizing portions configured to pressurize the sandwiching portions toward the wire with the one of the plurality of wires sandwiched by the sandwiching portions.

A connector installation tool includes an elongated body, a handle, a battery, and a c-shaped tool head. The elongated body includes a first end, a second end, and an axis extending therebetween. The handle includes a switch and is positioned proximate the first end. The switch is moveable between a first position and a second position. The battery is supported on the body and is configured to provide power to an actuator when the switch is in the first position. The C-shaped tool head is positioned proximate the second end. The c-shaped tool head includes a stop surface and a ram, and the ram is extendable toward the stop surface.

A sensor package includes at least one conductive trace providing a voltage common and a base supporting the at least one conductive trace. A conductive extension extends from the base so as to contact a conductor of an insulated conductor when the sensor package is mounted on an insulator of the insulated conductor and thereby provide an electrical connection between the conductive trace providing the voltage common and the conductor.
