A conductive member that includes a flexible conductor in which a plurality of strands are bundled together and that has flexibility; a rigid conductor that has a shape retaining property; a body that is formed at an end portion of the rigid conductor and that surrounds the flexible conductor and is fixed to the flexible conductor; and a sliding contact that has a form protruding from an inner circumference of the body and with which the strands can make sliding contact, wherein the sliding contact has a bent shape.

A bar connector comprises an elongate bar with a series of electrical attachment structures along a length of the elongate bar. Each wire electrical attachment structure is to secure at least one wire to the elongate bar. A flexible connector wire with two ends that connect to the elongate bar is used to establish an electrical connection between the at least one wire and a secondary distribution line by a crimp connector. A method of connecting an electrical wire with the bar connector is also claimed.

The present disclosure provides embodiments of insulated compression-type electrical connectors used to connect one or more branch wires or conductors to one or more run wires or conductors.

Provided is a method for providing a wire connection to a printed circuit board. The method includes attaching a first end of a wire at a first location on the printed circuit board and attaching a second end of the wire at a second location of the printed circuit board, to form an arched wire. The method further includes applying an encapsulant on the printed circuit board, the encapsulant forming a film through which the arched wire protrudes. Furthermore, the method includes cutting the arched wire to yield an out-of-plane wire connected to the printed circuit board.

An electrically conductive terminal generally extends along a first direction and includes a straight middle portion, a resiliently compressible mating portion extending from a first end of the middle portion for making contact with a conductive pad, and a terminating portion extending from a second end of the middle portion for making contact to a plurality of wires. The terminating portion includes a plurality of electrically connected segments separated by one or more walls and is configured to receive conductive ends of the plurality of wires in a one-to-one correspondence relationship. The terminating portion electrically connects the received wires.

Provided is a crimp terminal for alleviating manufacturing while maintaining waterproof property against a contact portion with an aluminum core wire. A barrel portion of a crimp terminal has an inner barrel piece and an outer barrel piece, and a seal member is provided for being stuck across a first region, a second region, and a third region, and after crimping for sealing a space between the inner barrel piece and the outer barrel piece, an opening of the barrel portion formed cylindrical on the terminal portion side, and a space between the covered portion and the barrel portion, and a plurality of recesses is dispersedly provided on an inner surface of the barrel portion so as to partly overlap with the seal member.

A grounding connector for securing a wire or rod therein. The grounding connector has a body including a first side, a second side, and a mid-section extending therebetween, with an opening extending through the body from the first side to the second side. The body of the grounding connector includes a lock joint configured to join the grounding connector with a second grounding connector, with the lock joint including a recess inset into the mid-section of the body and a protrusion adjacent the recess extending from the mid-section.

The present disclosure provides embodiments of compression-type electrical connectors used to connect one or more branch wires or conductors to one or more run wires or conductors.

A connection device includes a conducting element exhibiting a tubular portion and including a conducting sheath which is perforated with distributed perforations according to a predetermined solid-void pattern, the tubular portion and the sheath being configured in such a way that the sheath can be placed inside the tubular portion with the end section positioned inside the sheath and so that the tubular portion and the sheath can then be crimped onto the end section. The sheath includes at least one longitudinal wall separating two distinct housings each configured to accept one respective longitudinal portion of the end section of cable.
