There is also provided a modular power distribution system provided with a power source, an enclosure for a planar power distribution cable, a crimp connector including a control system, and power sources for a planar modular power distribution system.

A cable connector, especially an IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) connector, has an insulating body and an abutment bridge. The insulating body includes a housing and locking elements integrally manufactured with the housing. The locking elements include a lever and a bearing axle. The lever is doubly connected to the housing. A bearing axle of the locking element is designed to be inserted into a bearing recess of the abutment bridge.

A connection terminal is placed with an opening end of a recessed portion of the connection terminal contacting a top of a flexible substrate, a linking conductive member is pushed from a bottom toward a top of the flexible substrate, whereby the linking conductive member projects inside the recessed portion through the opening end as catching a part of the flexible substrate, and the part of the flexible substrate is sandwiched between a pressing portion of the linking conductive member and a first inner portion in the recessed portion to allow the pressing portion to contact a conductive portion exposed on the bottom of the flexible substrate and allow a contact portion of the linking conductive member to contact a second inner portion in the recessed portion, whereby the connection terminal is electrically connected to the conductive portion of the flexible substrate via the linking conductive member.

A universal cable system includes a cable, which may include a keyed profile and an optional, integrated pull cable for low-voltage applications in residential and commercial structures, both old and new construction, which may further includes a connector, which does not require individual splicing of the wires from the cable. The connector may be self-crimping or crimped with a tool. During installation of the connector onto the cable, conductors in the connector may be simultaneously spliced to the wires of the cable during crimping.

A cell contact-making system for an electrochemical device that includes a plurality of electrochemical cells is provided. The cell contact-making system includes a signal conductor system having one or more signal conductors for electrically conductively connecting a signal source to a signal conductor terminal connector or to a monitoring arrangement of the electrochemical device, wherein the signal conductor system includes at least one flexible printed circuit, wherein the flexible printed circuit includes at least one flexible insulating film and at least one conductor track that is arranged on the insulating film.

A connecting method includes: arranging the connection terminal such that a rear surface of a base portion in a flat plate shape of the connection terminal comes into contact with a front surface of the flexible substrate; with a rising portion of the connection terminal extending from the rear surface side of the base portion toward the base portion and a tip end bending portion of the connection terminal extending from a tip end of the rising portion in a direction inclined with respect to the rising portion, displacing the rising portion toward the base portion so that the tip end bending portion protrudes from a front surface of the base portion; and holding a part of the flexible substrate between a pressing portion formed at the rising portion and a pressed portion formed at the base portion, whereby the conductive portion of the flexible substrate is electrically connected to at least one of the pressing portion and the pressed portion.

An electrical connector comprising a male plug and a female plug, the female plug connected to the male plug through a circuit module, and the circuit module connected to the first electrode; in particular, a sheet body is configured between the male plug and the female plug. The sheet body comprises a conducting layer connected to the second electrode. The forward projection of the conducting layer on the sheet body forms a piercing zone. The male plug pierces the sheet body through the piercing zone, snaps together with the female plug, and is electrically connected to the conducting layer. The connector of the present invention differs from conventional connectors in both structure and usage, and can be applied in various fields.

Provided is a connector that can enhance the waterproof performance without reducing a pressure of a contact surface between fillers in a fitted state. A connector (10) according to the present disclosure includes a pair of fitting objects to be fitted to each other and a filler (70), a contact (50) and a wall (42) provided in the fitting objects. The wall (42) separates the filler (70) and the contact (50) after the fitting objects are fitted to each other.

A coaxial microwave connector, intended to link two printed circuit boards (PCBs) to one another, of central axis (X) comprising: two connection elements each with a central contact and a ground contact, the ground and central contacts of the second element being free to be displaced, along the axis (X), relative to those of the first element, between a configuration of disconnection, and a configuration of connection in which the elements are intended to establish an electrical ground and central contact between the two PCBs; and at least one flexible electrically insulating washer, which both allows the coaxial mechanical holding between each central contact inside the ground contact of the first or of the second connection element, and makes it possible to establish a mechanical pressure between the end of the central contact and one of the two PCBs.

A connector includes a cable tray configured to receive and retain a cable in a stable position and couple with a top cap configured to create an electrical connection with the cable as the top cap is manipulated in a predetermined manner while coupled with the cable tray. An upper surface of the cable tray is configured to receive the cable (e.g., while the cable is generally parallel with the longitudinal axis of the cable tray). The cable tray also includes a finger extending beyond the first end for some distance longitudinally. The finger includes a protrusion that protrudes to some extent in a transverse direction so that a cable-accommodating gap is defined between the protrusion and the first end. The protrusion is configured to bear against the cable and retain the cable in the stable position when the cable is inserted between the protrusion and the first end (before, during and/or after an electrical connection is established).
