Cable connector and electrical box
A cable connector is provided for coupling to and mounted within the internal cavity of an electrical box for securing an electrical cable passing through an opening in the electrical box. The cable connector includes a housing having a first end positioned next to or adjacent the cable opening in the electrical box and a second end spaced from the first end and the cable opening. At least one and typically two cable retaining members are positioned in the cable opening of the housing between the front wall and the rear wall. The cable retainer has a body with a plurality of retaining arms extending into an axial passage of the body for gripping the outer surface of a cable.
PANEL MOUNTED POWER-CABLE SYSTEM FOR AN APPLIANCE
An appliance includes a cabinet with a rear panel. The rear panel defines a recessed portion with an offset surface and an aperture defined on the offset surface. A power connector is disposed in the aperture. The power connector includes a cable engagement section configured to engage a power cable and a source engagement section opposing the cable engagement section. The source engagement section extends through the rear panel to engage a power receiver within the cabinet. A mounting flange is disposed between the cable engagement section and the source engagement section and operably couples to the offset surface. A cover is coupled to the rear panel over the recessed portion. The cover includes an outer rim and a body protruding outward from the outer rim. An opening is defined between a bottom section of the body and the rear panel through which the power cable is configured to extend.

Metal-to-Metal Sealed Power Connection For Submersible Pump Motor
An electrical submersible well pump motor has metal-to-metal sealing for the power cable electrical connection. A conductor passage in the motor head has a conical seat. A motor contact member electrically connected with the motor is located in the conductor passage below the seat. A metal tube has a lower portion that inserts into an upper portion of the conductor passage. A metal sealing ferrule encircles the tube, and a compression nut deforms the ferrule into sealing engagement with the seat and the tube. An electrical conductor extending from the power cable protrudes downward from the tube and has a conductor contact member on a lower end. The motor contact member and the conductor contact member stab into partial engagement with each other, defining a gap between terminal surfaces of the contact members that can close up during operation due to thermal growth.
CABLE CONNECTOR AND ELECTRICAL BOX
A cable connector is provided for coupling to and mounted within the internal cavity of an electrical box for securing an electrical cable passing through an opening in the electrical box. The cable connector includes a housing having a first end positioned next to or adjacent the cable opening in the electrical box and a second end spaced from the first end and the cable opening. At least one and typically two cable retaining members are positioned in the cable opening of the housing between the front wall and the rear wall. The cable retainer has a body with a plurality of retaining arms extending into an axial passage of the body for gripping the outer surface of a cable.

Electrical power distributor for an electric or hybrid vehicle
A high-voltage power distributor is configured to keep the need for high-voltage supply lines as low as possible for an electric or hybrid vehicle having an electric-motor driving motor. The high-voltage power distributor has a distributor housing formed with a connection space. At least one incoming supply line and two outgoing supply lines, which are connected to each other, are introduced into the connection space. The distributor housing has a two-part construction, with an electrically conductive inner housing and an insulating outer housing. Each respective shield of a respective supply line is connected to the inner housing in an electrically conductive manner. Thus, a mechanically robust design is enabled together with good EMC shielding in the connection region of the supply lines, and furthermore reliable sealing with respect to the environment is enabled.
