The present invention discloses an electrical connection assembly and a battery pack signal acquisition device. The battery pack signal acquisition device has: a signal transmission bus; and an electrical connection assembly for electrically connecting a battery cell to the signal transmission bus to collect an electrical parameter of the battery cell. The electrical connection assembly and the signal transmission bus are respectively formed and electrically connected with each other. In the present invention, the electrical connection assembly can be replaced separately without replacing the signal transmission bus, which improves the convenience of use and reduces the later maintenance cost.

A device is provided for aligning a ribbon cable relative to an electrical connector to crimp the electrical connector onto the ribbon cable with a tool. The device includes a side portion and a central piece. The side portion includes an upper end and a cable track having a width sized to receive the ribbon cable. The central piece is coupled to the side portion and includes an upper surface. The upper surface of the central piece and the upper end of the side portion at least partially define a connector retaining segment sized to receive the electrical connector.

A cable assembly includes a flat flexible cable having a plurality of conductors embedded within an insulation material. A portion of each of the conductors is exposed via openings selectively formed in the insulation material, allowing for a crimping portion of an electrically conductive terminal to engage with the conductor within the opening. The crimping portion of the terminal includes a base defining at least one protrusion extending therefrom, and first and second sidewalls extending from the base. The base and sidewalls define an opening configured to receive the conductor therein, wherein the sidewalls are foldable into the opening for crimping the conductor within the opening and generally between the protrusion of the base and a portion of the sidewalls.

The crimping portion of the terminal includes a base defining at least one aperture formed therethrough, and first and second sidewalls extending from the base. The base and sidewalls define a conductor opening configured to receive the conductor therein. At least one of the first of second sidewalls includes a sidewall protrusion extending therefrom, wherein the sidewalls are foldable into the conductor opening for crimping the conductor therewithin. In a crimped state of the crimping portion, the conductor is pressed into the aperture by the sidewall protrusion.

The first sidewall includes a first section attached to the base and a second section attached to the first section on an end opposite the base. In a crimped state of the terminal, the first sidewall rotated into the opening such that the first section at least partially surrounds the second section, and the second sidewall is rotated in a direction opposite the first section such that the first section at least partially surrounds the second section, for crimping the conductor within the opening and against the protrusion.

A flexible printed wiring board with crimp terminal includes: a flexible printed wiring board having a base film, a circuit including a metal foil provided on a surface of the base film, and a cover film attached to the base film so as to sandwich the circuit; and a crimp terminal with a plurality of crimping pieces that penetrates the flexible printed wiring board by being crimped and is bent to bite into a part of the circuit. A part of the circuit is exposed without the cover film being provided in a partial region of the flexible printed wiring board, and at least some of the crimping pieces are arranged in the partial region, and thus bite into a part of the circuit without penetrating the cover film.
