The invention relates to a press-in contact, a component assembly comprising at least one contact receptacle and a press-in contact, and a method for manufacturing a press-in contact, The method comprising producing a rough contour, in particular a punched contour, of a press-in contact, with a connecting body and two limbs which adjoin the latter and are arranged opposite each other, wherein the limbs have press-in regions and end regions which face away from the connecting body and have contact portions which face each other and are spaced apart from each other in a defined manner, and reshaping the limbs, comprising moving the end regions of the limbs toward each other by at least partial plastic deformation of at least one of the limbs, wherein the contact portions of the limbs touch in a defined manner at least in sections after being relieved of load.

An altitude increasing connector and the method for manufacturing the same for an electrical connection of a sensor element and a circuit substrate inside a portable electronic device, such that the sensor element is altitude increased, thereby an appropriate disposition altitude of the sensor element is adjusted, in order to ensure normal function of the sensor element, so that the yield of the portable electronic device is increased. The altitude increasing connector has a plurality of conductive terminals, each of which has a first welding pad for welding the sensor element and a second welding pad for welding the circuit substrate, wherein a distance between welding surfaces of both the first, second welding pads of each conductive terminal is fixed, such that a relative distance between electrical joints of both the sensor element and the circuit substrate is fixed.

A terminal 20 disclosed by this specification is crimped to a wire 30, in which a core 31 is covered with an insulation coating 32, with the wire 30 pulled out rearward, and includes a core crimping portion 40 to be crimped to the core 31 and a coating crimping portion 50 to be crimped to the insulation coating 32. The coating crimping portion 50 in a state crimped to the insulation coating 32 includes flat portions 55 extending flat in a pull-out direction of the wire 30 and a projection 52 projecting more toward the core 31 than the flat portions 55 and having a projecting amount increased toward a rear side.

An interior body is housed in a tubular exterior body. The interior body includes a spring portion, a movable portion, and a fixing portion, which are integrated together. Elastic arms are disposed on the movable portion so as to extend downward. Each elastic arm includes, at a lower end portion, an elastically pressing portion, which is elastically pressed against a tubular internal surface of the exterior body. Since the elastically pressing portion is elastically pressed against the exterior body, electric signals are more likely to flow between the movable portion and the exterior body and more likely to be prevented from leaking to the spring portion.

Connection reliability of terminals in a movable connector is enhanced. The movable connector includes a fixed housing having an abutment receiving portion and a movable housing having an abutment portion. When a pin terminal is fitted and inserted, the abutment portion abuts on the abutment receiving portion. This prevents arcuate curved deformation of the movable housing, and restricts a movable piece of a terminal at a center portion of the movable housing from being slightly stretched from the beginning of fitting and from constantly receiving load.

An electrical connector for a multi-wire electrical cable includes two cable-side electrical contact elements, including associated terminals to each of which is to be connected a wire of the electrical cable, as well as two output-side electrical contact elements, from each of which projects an electrical connector element by which an electrical connection can be established to a mating connector. A carrier body is disposed between the cable-side contact elements and the output-side contact elements. The carrier body forms a support region which extends from a first connecting section to a second connecting section and with which both the cable-side and the output-side contact elements are in connection. At each of the two connecting sections, a respective supporting section of the carrier body extends from the support region in such a way that the support region and the two supporting sections form a ring-shaped circumferential structure.

A connector may be configured to electrically connect at least first and second electrical conductors to one another. The connector may include first and second connector elements configured to electrically couple the first and second electrical conductors. The first and second connector elements may each include tubular members extending longitudinally between respective conductor ends and connector ends. The tubular members may each define respective exterior surfaces. The exterior surfaces of the first and second connector elements may define respective body portions, and the exterior surface of the first connector element may define a projection. The exterior surface of the second connector element may define a tubular receiver configured to receive the projection. The exterior surfaces may include respective shoulders, and the exterior surfaces may each define a plurality of transverse ridges associated with the respective shoulders to facilitate gripping the first and second connector elements.
