Devices, methods, and systems are provided that incorporate and support a number of physical fusible links arranged in a terminal of a battery cell. The fusible links are configured as legs connecting a raised platform of a battery cell cap to a conductive base portion of the battery cell cap. Each of the fusible link legs is sized and shaped to function as a fusible link. The fusible link legs include a controlled cross-sectional area disposed along a length of the material making up the fusible link leg. In an overcurrent situation, the connection between an electrical system and a battery cell having the integrated fusible link legs is severed by the overcurrent melting the legs.

A kit for use with an above ground portion of a tracer wire includes a tube and a conductive end cap. The tube has an interior cavity extending from a first end to a second end, and the internal cavity has a diameter configured to be positioned about the tracer wire. The conductive end cap is configured to electrically engage the tracer wire, and is further configured to mechanically engage a surface of the tube such that the tracer wire is protected from corrosion and external elements while allowing a signal to be sent along the tracer wire through the conductive end cap.

Patch cords include a communications cable that has a first conductor and a second conductor that form a first differential pair, and a third conductor and a fourth conductor that form a second differential pair and a plug that is attached to the communications cable. The plug includes a housing that receives the communications cable, first through fourth plug contacts that are within the housing, and a printed circuit board. The printed circuit board includes first through fourth conductive paths that connect the respective first through fourth conductors to respective ones of the first through fourth plug contacts. The plug further includes a first conductive shield that extends above a top surface of the printed circuit board that is disposed between the first differential pair and the second differential pair.

The present invention relates to a connection element for connection of an electrical connector (17) with a cable (15) connected on the connection element (10), wherein the connection element (10) has a mechanism (21) which is configured to secure the connection element (10) in a predetermined position on the electrical connector (17), and wherein the connection element (10) has on a contact region between the connection element (10) the electrical connector (17) that is generated after the connection of the electrical connector (17) with the cable (15) at least one layer made of a sealing material, which is configured to seal a region of the connecting element (10) on the electrical connector (17) in a liquid tight manner.

A battery terminal cover includes a cover portion and a rotation stop portion. The rotation stop portion has a contact surface formed by chamfering. The contact surface is formed at a position out of a moving region of a mating connector with respect to a connector provided on the battery terminal. The contact surface contacts a corner part of a battery wall to regulate rotation of the battery terminal in a direction toward the battery wall. The contact surface is formed to absorb a dimensional tolerance between the battery post and a wall surface of the battery wall and a dimensional tolerance between the battery post and a side surface of the battery wall. The wall surface and the side surface forms the corner part.

A cover for a vehicle electrical system component, such as a pre-fuse assembly, that includes an integrated hinge and locking mechanism. The integrated hinge allows a pivoting cover portion to easily be rotated out of the way in order to give access to an underlying component (e.g., a jump post), while the integrated locking mechanism allows that same cover to be securely locked onto itself when no access is needed. The cover is not limited to a pre-fuse assembly and may be used with other vehicle electrical system components, such as a power distribution device (e.g., a power distribution box, an electrical connection box, a junction box assembly, etc.), a wire harness protector, etc.

Patch cords include a communications cable that has a first conductor and a second conductor that form a first differential pair, and a third conductor and a fourth conductor that form a second differential pair and a plug that is attached to the communications cable. The plug includes a housing that receives the communications cable, first through fourth plug contacts that are within the housing, and a printed circuit board. The printed circuit board includes first through fourth conductive paths that connect the respective first through fourth conductors to respective ones of the first through fourth plug contacts. The plug further includes a first conductive shield that extends above a top surface of the printed circuit board that is disposed between the first differential pair and the second differential pair.

A protective cap (4, 4) for an electrical high-current plug connector (1) is substantially box-shaped and has at least one open side (5). The protective cap (4) has a gripping element (8) for fixing the protective cap (4, 4) to a connection region (3, 3, 3) of the high-current plug connector (1), which is provided for connecting an electrical conductor. The gripping element (8) extends into the open side (5). The gripping element (8) has a pincer-like design with two arms (8a, 8b) which cross over each other or two arms (8a, 8b) oriented relative to each other in an S-shape. Each of the two arms (8a, 8b) is integrally formed on the protective cap (4, 4) in a lower region and grips around the connection region (3, 3, 3) for a conductor to be connected in an upper region.
