A connector (1) for high voltage cables has a metal conductor (11) having a first elongated conductor element having a first end (12a), a second end (12b) and an intermediate section (12c) between the first end (12a) and the second end (12b); an insulating layer (21); and a semiconductive layer (31). The insulating layer is moulded onto the second end (12b) and the intermediate section (12c) of the first elongated conductor element (12) and the insulating layer (21) is provided at a first insulator distance (DI1) from the first end (12a) of the first elongated conductor element (12). The semiconductive layer (31) is provided outside of the insulating layer (21) and the semiconductive layer (31) is provided at a first semiconductor distance (DS1) from the first end (12a) of the first elongated conductor element (12). The first insulator distance (DI1) is shorter than the first semiconductor distance (DS1). The insulating layer (21) is moulded as one single insulating body.

A wire overmold device including a carrier body having a distal end and a proximal end, a wire cap configured to engage the distal end of the carrier body, at least one of a jacketed cable and one or more wires at least partially enclosed between the wire cap and the carrier body, and an overmold formed over the proximal end of the carrier body and at least portions of the wire cap and the distal end of the carrier body, wherein the wire cap and the distal end of the carrier body protrude from the overmold.

A sealing boot for protecting an electrical interconnection includes: a main body having a cavity configured to house an interconnection of two electrical connectors; and a neck merging with one end of the main body and having a cylindrical inner surface that defines a bore that is continuous with the cavity of the main body, the inner surface having an inner diameter that is less than an inner diameter of the cavity of the main body. The inner surface of the neck includes a helical projection comprising a main artery and two tributaries, the tributaries each intersecting a section of the main artery at one end and merging with an end of the main artery at an opposite end.

A terminal-equipped wire includes a wire with a core wire and an insulating coating with which the core wire is coated, and a terminal fitting that is attached to a leading end of the wire. The terminal fitting is electrically connected to the core wire in a core-wire crimp portion, and is fixed to the wire from an external side of the insulating coating in a coating crimp portion that is located rearward of the core-wire crimp portion in a longitudinal direction of the wire. The terminal-equipped wire also includes a resin-coated portion where a region containing the core-wire crimp portion and the coating crimp portion is coated with a resin. The resin-coated portion has a thin-walled portion with a reduced thickness, in a portion of the resin-coated portion that covers the insulating coating.

An electrical connector assembly includes an insulation piercing connector having a pair of clamping jaws. At least one of the jaws includes at least one electrically conductive piercing member, and a male connector member extending outwardly from one of the clamping jaws. A clamping mechanism is configured to force the at least one piercing member through the insulation layers of the first and second cables and into electrical engagement with the conductors of the first and second cables to form an electrical connection between the first and second cables. An elastomeric seal is inserted over the terminal end of the first cable, and a protective end cap is secured to the male connector member and encloses the terminal end of the first cable.

An exterior end portion cap is configured to be attached to an electrically conductive path and an exterior member. The exterior end portion cap includes an external exposure portion having a first blocking portion, an internal insertion portion having a second block portion, and an electrically conductive path housing recess portion formed to extend across the external exposure portion and the internal insertion portion. The first blocking portion has a planar portion configured to abut against the exterior member. The second blocking portion has holding piece portions that are deformable to wind around the electrically conductive path circumferentially. The electrically conductive path housing recess portion is formed into a concave portion that is so deep that a part of an outer surface of the electrically conductive path is pressed against an inner surface of the exterior member.

Pulling eyes are provided with integrated wiring systems suitable for installing conductors or cables. The pulling eyes may include body portions that define interior cavities that are sized to snugly engage outside portions of the conductors or cables. The body portions are sized to be deformably crimped onto the outside portions of the conductors or cables. The pulling eyes may also include head portions joined to the body portions, with the head portions defining apertures for receiving a strength member for installing the conductors or cables. These apertures place the interior cavities in communication with the exteriors of the pulling eyes.

A wire overmold device including a carrier body having a distal end and a proximal end, a wire cap configured to engage the distal end of the carrier body, at least one of a jacketed cable and one or more wires at least partially enclosed between the wire cap and the carrier body, and an overmold formed over the proximal end of the carrier body and at least portions of the wire cap and the distal end of the carrier body, wherein the wire cap and the distal end of the carrier body protrude from the overmold.

A sealing boot for protecting an electrical interconnection includes: a main body having a cavity configured to house an interconnection of two electrical connectors; and a neck merging with one end of the main body and having a cylindrical inner surface that defines a bore that is continuous with the cavity of the main body, the inner surface having an inner diameter that is less than an inner diameter of the cavity of the main body. The inner surface of the neck includes a helical projection comprising a main artery and two tributaries, the tributaries each intersecting a section of the main artery at one end and merging with an end of the main artery at an opposite end.

A cable gland and method for earthing, bonding, and electromagnetic capability with armored, metal-clad, and metallic-sheathed cable types. The cable gland includes an adjustable earthing coil arranged internally in a gland body of the cable gland that secures around a cable inserted in the cable gland. When fully coiled, the adjustable earthing coil is relaxed and as the adjustable earthing coil is expanded it generates a restoring force. An earthing strap attached to the adjustable earthing coil in the cable gland, provides grounding capabilities to the cable gland.
