A self-enclosed electrical assembly with a wire crimping structure, including an installation faceplate, a front assembly, and a back assembly affixed to each other using buckles. The front assembly includes a base plate and an open-top enclosure member extending perpendicularly from the base plate. Disposed inside the enclosure member are plug insertion pieces with wire receiving slots. The back assembly includes a top panel and a shell body extending perpendicularly from the top panel. Disposed within the shell body is a wire crimping structure, which includes a wire crimping block and an inserted member. The wire crimping block has multiple wire crimping notches respectively spatially corresponding to the wire receiving slots. After the back assembly and the front assembly are affixed to each other, the inserted member is used to press the crimping block to crimp the wires into the wire receiving slots.

An electrical arrangement (10), including: a first conductor (12) having a first generally planar contact area (34); a second conductor (12) having a second generally planar contact area (40); an intermediate conductor (44) having a first faying area (84) overlying the first contact area and a second faying area (86) overlying the second contact area; a compression arrangement configured to compress the first faying area and the first contact area toward each other and to compress the second faying area and the second contact area toward each other; and a dimpling structure (46) effective to create plural contact points (74) between the first faying area and the first contact area and between the second faying area and the second contact area when the first and the second faying areas and the first and second contact areas are compressed toward each other by the compression arrangement.

In a vehicle circuitry including an assembly of a plurality of wires and at least one joint point interconnecting the plurality of wires, a joint position determination assisting method assists an optimization of a position of the joint point. The method includes displaying visible information representing a wiring route and a configuration of the vehicle circuitry on a display screen based on basic design data representing the configuration of the vehicle circuitry, and in response to a designation of the joint point and an instruction for the optimization, calculating a length of each wire and a total wire length with the joint point being disposed at a plurality of mutually different positions, and outputting information representing an optimal position of the joint point, reflecting a result of comparison of the calculated total wire length at the respective positions.

A connector includes a contact connected to a member to be connected and brought into contact with a wire so as to electrically connect the member to be connected and the wire. The contact includes contact portions coming into contact with the wire when the wire moves in a perpendicular direction perpendicular to a wire extending direction in which the wire extends, and movement restriction members for restricting a movement of the wire on the contact in a state where the wire is in contact with the contact portions. The contact further includes a movement regulation member for regulating a movement of the wire in the perpendicular direction in the state where the wire is in contact with the contact portions.
