A connector shield for a flat flexible cable comprises a housing defining a connector space on a first end thereof for receiving a signal cable connector, and a cable space on a second end thereof for at least partially receiving an end of the flat flexible cable. The cable space defines a width greater than that of the connector space and a height less than that of the connector space. A plurality of contact elements extend from the housing and into the cable space for electrically contacting a conductive element of the flat flexible cable.

A plug includes at least one spring or blade contact element which is disposed in a housing and is connected in an electrically conducting manner to at least one insulation displacement contact that contacts and secures at least one insulated single-core cable. The at least one insulation displacement contact extends at a 90° angle from the spring or blade contact element in the plug-in direction of the spring or blade contact element in such a way that the at least one insulated single-core cable extending in the plug-in direction is contacted and secured by an insulation displacement contact.

A method of manufacturing a wiring harness assembly includes the steps of forming a plurality of electrically conductive wires encased within a substrate formed of a dielectric material, forming an opening in the substrate located and sized such that a section of the plurality of electrically conductive wires is exposed within the opening, disposing a support segment within the opening, securing a connector segment including a plurality of terminals to the support segment, and placing the plurality of terminals in mechanical and electrical contact with the plurality of electrically conductive wires.

Electric device with electric connection means suitable for connecting it to an electric power source, comprising a supporting surface for a textile electrically conductive band and retention means for retaining the textile electrically conductive band on supporting surface. Electric connection means comprise piercing means for piercing the textile electrically conductive band which are suitable for conducting an electric current. Textile electrically conductive band is made of double weaving and comprises two mutually parallel electrically conductive guides extending along the band. Each of the electrically conductive guides is located between two layers of textile material of said double weaving.

An electrical contact terminal includes a base portion for positioning and retaining the electrical contact terminal within a connector housing, an insulation displacement connecting portion extending upwardly from the base portion and comprising a pair of spaced apart arms defining an opening therebetween for receiving and making electrical contact with an electrical conductor, and a contact portion extending downwardly from the base portion and configured to float when the electrical contact terminal is retained and positioned within a connector housing. The contact portion includes a first arm, a second arm, and an arcuate base portion. The first arm extends downwardly and includes a first end attached to the base portion and an opposite second end. The second arm extends downwardly and includes a free first end closer to the base portion and an opposite second end farther from the base portion. The second arm is configured to deflect when making electrical contact with a mating contact pin. The arcuate base portion connects the second ends of the first and second arms.
