A terminal-equipped wire configured by crimping a pair of barrel pieces provided on a terminal to an external sheath of a wire, the external sheath being provided on an outer circumferential surface of a core wire. The pair of barrel pieces are wrapped around the external sheath into a polygonal tube shape that has a plurality of corner portions in a circumferential direction of the external sheath, leading end edges of the pair of barrel pieces are arranged on opposite sides of at least one corner portion out of the plurality of corner portions.

A connector for connecting an electrical cable to an aperture in an electrical panel having a spring, a shell, and a insulator along a longitudinal axis. The spring has a base from which two insertion tabs extend coaxial with the axis and a pressure tab extending from the base perpendicular to the two insertion tables having a pressure prong to provide a radial grounding force for the connector. The insertion tabs of the spring have hook latches extending past the insulator that lock the connector in the panel and the base of the spring has a hole to receive the cable where first and second clamping tabs clampingly lock the cable in the connector.

A shield terminal (12) includes inner conductors (14) having tabs (16) projecting forward from bodies (15), a dielectric (21) formed with conductor accommodation chambers (36) inside and configured to hold the inner conductors (14) with the bodies (15) accommodated in the conductor accommodation chambers (36), an outer conductor (37) for surrounding the dielectric (21) and the tabs (16), and walls (23, 31 and 32) constituting the conductor accommodation chambers (36) and formed with air chambers (43 to 50). Focusing on the fact that air has a lower dielectric constant than synthetic resin, the air chambers (43 to 50) are formed in the walls (23, 31 and 32) constituting the conductor accommodation chambers (36). This enables an impedance to be enhanced even if the dielectric (21) is made of a material having high rigidity.

A coaxial cable connector includes a signal terminal and a housing, wherein the signal terminal includes a terminal contact portion for contacting a signal terminal of a counterpart connector, a conductor connection portion for connection with a central conductor of a coaxial cable, a wide portion between the terminal contact portion and the conductor connection portion, a first link portion linking the conductor connection portion and the wide portion, and a second link portion linking the terminal contact portion and the wide portion, wherein the wide portion has a width greater than a width of the first link portion and the second link portion which are adjacent to the wide portion, and the housing includes a mount portion in which the terminal contact portion is mounted, a fixing portion for fixing the central conductor to the conductor connection portion, and a window disposed between the mount portion and the fixing portion to enable external access to the wide portion.

A plug insert comprises a base body, a receptacle extending through the base body, and a positioning element at least partially received in the receptacle. The base body has a plug side and an opposite contact side. The receptacle extends through the base body from the plug side to the contact side and at least partially receives a connector. The positioning element is accessible from both the plug side and the contact side and positions a contact pin of the connector.

A post-less, self-gripping coaxial cable connector for tool-less attachment to an end of a coaxial cable is disclosed. The coaxial cable connector has a body having a forward end and a rearward end and a longitudinal opening. A retainer positioned in the body has a forward section, a rearward section, and a bore. A ring is movably disposed in the retainer. A gripping member having at least one spring finger is friction fit to the body and is radially inwardly biased in a predisposed orientation. The ring has a pusher feature configured to axially move the ring upon force being applied to the pusher feature by a coaxial cable received by the body causing the gripping member to engage the jacket of the coaxial cable when the coaxial cable is installed in the coaxial cable connector.
