A method for grounding a hybrid or electric road vehicle which has been involved in an accident, includes making contact with a body of a road vehicle which has been involved in an accident using a first grounding tool, and subsequently grounding a second grounding tool which is connected to the first grounding tool via an electrical line and an apparatus for grounding a hybrid or electric road vehicle which has been involved in an accident. The apparatus has a grounding line, a drive-in tool for being driven into a body of the road vehicle, and a grounding stake for being planted into the ground. The drive-in tool is connected to one end of the grounding line and the grounding stake is connected to the other end of the grounding line.

A contact insert for an industrial plug connector is provided. The contact insert has a connection side for connecting individual conductors of a multi-wire cable and a contact side for electrically connecting to a mating plug connector or a socket, wherein n connection openings for respective conductors of the multi-wire cable are provided on the connection side, m contact openings for accessing a mating contact element of a mating plug connector or a socket are provided on the contact side, and n and m are natural numbers, m being greater than n. A system for a plug connector housing and a contact insert are also provided.

A ground shield includes a plurality of contact members configured to contact the ground contacts of a column of contacts of an electrical connector, so as to electrically common the grounds to each other.

A conductive component structure of wire connection terminal is manufactured at lower cost and more securely assembled with the conductive wire. The conductive component includes a main body in the form of a plate body and a restriction body connected on the main body. The restriction body defines a mouth section and has an oblique wall connected with the mouth section. When the conductive wire is plugged into the case into contact with the conductive component, the restriction body guides the conductive wire and the rear end of the conductive wire is restricted and secured by the oblique wall. The conductive component improves the shortcomings of the conventional structure that the conductive wire is apt to deflect or swing due to external force to lead to unstable contact and insecurity and affect the electro-conductive efficiency.

Embodiments of an electrical connector assembly are disclosed. The electrical connector assembly can include an electrical connector having a connector housing and a leadframe supported by the connector housing. The leadframe includes an electrically conductive ground plate that includes a drain wire connection tabs that can attach to drain wires of respective electrical cables. The electrical connector assembly can further include a cable clip that supports the plurality of cables. The electrical connector assembly can further include a cable guide that directs the plurality of cables of cables through the cable clip along a desired direction.

A rail terminal assembling structure includes a protection member formed with an assembling passage defined by a contact side section, a connection side section and two lateral sections. The connection side section has a first locating section, an elastic locating section and a second locating section. An end section of a conductive plate extends into the assembling passage and securely attached to the contact side section. A metal leaf spring has a first section, a second section and an elastic bight section connected between the first and second sections. The first section has a first located section and an insertion section. When the first section extends into the assembling passage and the first section elastically pushes/presses the elastic locating section until the insertion section reaches the elastic locating section, the elastic locating section is elastically engaged with the insertion section.

A second located section is disposed at the tail end of the first section for securely connecting with the second locating section.

A device assembly capable of selectively bonding one or more tracer wires to ground and isolating the one or more tracer wires from ground is provided. The device assembly includes a housing, an electrical switch within the housing and one or more contact assemblies. The one or more tracer wires and ground wire are connected to the one or more contact assemblies. The electrical switch can connect the tracer wires to the ground wire and can isolate the tracer wires from the ground wire.

A wire cable assembly, such as those used in electric or hybrid electric vehicles, having a plurality of shielded wire cables that are spliced together is presented. The assembly includes a splicing device having a generally planar bus bar formed of a conductive material, wherein the exposed core conductors of the shielded wire cables are welded to the bus bar, thereby electrically interconnecting the exposed core conductors. A conductive sleeve encloses bus bar and interconnects the shield conductors of the shielded wire cables, providing shielding for the exposed core conductors and continuity for the shield conductors. An outer insulator enclosing the conductive sleeve. A method of splicing shielded wire cables using such a device is also presented herein.
