An apparatus and method for splicing single pair ethernet (SPE) cables. By creating a T shaped intersection, the splicing device allows for sensors and other devices to run perpendicular in relation to the original cable. The splicing device further enables the cable to have multiple drop points along the cable.

A modular plug for terminating a telecommunications cable includes a housing, a plurality of wire contacts, and a wire manager fitted in an internal cavity of the housing. The wire manager includes internal walls shaping a central channel, opposing edges on the internal walls defining a gate in the central channel, and tabs projecting from the gate in the central channel. The tabs define an upper portion and a lower portion in the gate. A strain relief member attaches to the wire manager in an intermediate position to partially restrain the telecommunications cable relative to the wire manager, and is restrained by the housing in a final position to completely restrain the telecommunications cable relative to the wire manager.

A connector, with which an electrical wire is attachable, is connectable with a mating connector which has a mating contact portion. The connector comprises a housing and at least one terminal. The housing is provided with a support. The support has a receiving portion. The receiving portion is configured to receive a part of the electrical wire. The at least one terminal has an insulation displacement connection (IDC) portion, a contact portion, a supporting portion and a coupling portion. The IDC portion is configured to be insulation-displacement connected with the electrical wire. The support is positioned between the IDC portion and the supporting portion in a first predetermined direction. The coupling portion couples the IDC portion and the supporting portion with each other. The coupling portion has a neighboring portion. The neighboring portion neighbors to the support in a second predetermined direction perpendicular to the first predetermined direction.

A capacitor carrier assembly includes a carrier, a capacitor disposed in the carrier and electrically conductive connection terminals. The connection terminals support the carrier with respect to another electronic component or device such as a printed circuit board, retain individual carrier portions in an assembled configuration, and provide an electrical connection between the capacitor and the electronic component. Each connection terminal includes an elastic member that protrudes from a surface of the connection terminal and engages the carrier, and regions of serrations provided on opposed edges of the terminal that engage the carrier, and a flange that protrudes from the surface in a direction perpendicular to the first surface. An edge of the flange includes an insulation displacement contact (IDC) joint for connection to the capacitor leads.

The present invention provides for a protective enclosure comprising a base comprising a first continuous mating surface and at least one conveyance aperture, a cover comprising a second continuous mating surface, wherein the second continuous mating surface is configured to form a seal with the first continuous mating surface, and a clamp, wherein at least a portion of the clamp is coupleable to the base, wherein a mouth of the clamp is configured to be offset from the aperture when the clamp is coupled to the base, wherein the clamp comprises a first sealing layer, and wherein the clamp is configured to seal the aperture against contaminants. The protective enclosure may be configured for use in a remotely controllable model vehicle to protect a control module.
