A method for producing a shield wire includes: disposing the first terminal at an opening end portion of the shield body in a state where the covered wire and the shield body are inserted into the first terminal; folding the opening end portion of the shield body to an outer side and disposing the second terminal to sandwich the folded opening end portion; and press-deforming the first terminal and the second terminal into a clamping shape. A mold surface of the mold has a protruding portion protruding toward the axis, and a protruding end surface of the protruding portion has a radius of curvature smaller than a radius of an outer peripheral surface of the second terminal before clamping and larger than a radius of an outer peripheral surface of the covered wire before clamping.

A busbar for use in mechanically and electrically connecting components in a device or system. The busbar includes a plurality of conductors arranged to provide two opposed end portions and an intermediate portion, wherein each of the conductors has a plurality of intermediate extents that traverse the intermediate portion. The intermediate portion including: (A) an unfused segment where no intermediate extents of the conductors are fused together to form a single consolidated conductor, and (B) a fused segment that includes (i) a partial solidification zone where a majority of the intermediate extents of the conductors are fused together to form a partially solidified region that provides a single consolidated conductor, (ii) a full solidification zone where all of intermediate extents of the conductors are fused together to form a fully solidified region that provides a single consolidated conductor, and (iii) an unsolidified region where all of the intermediate extents of the conductors are not fused together.

A conductive connecting member includes a first terminal, a second terminal, and a braided member for electrically connecting the first and second terminals. The braided member is a member formed by braiding a plurality of metal stands each other. The braided member includes a first fixing portion to be fixed and electrically connected to the first terminal, a second fixing portion to be fixed and electrically connected to the second terminal and an intermediate portion serving as a part of the braided member between the first and second fixing portions. The intermediate portion retains its own shape in a natural state where no external force is applied and is deformed to allow a relative movement of the second terminal with respect to the first terminal when an external force for relatively changing a position of the second terminal with respect to the first terminal is applied.

A battery module connector for electrically conductive connecting of two battery modules includes a first contact element for electrically conductive contacting of a first battery module, a second contact element for electrically conductive contacting of a second battery module, a band-shaped wire braid that is electrically conductively connected at a first end to the first contact element and at a second end to the second contact element, and at least one spring element that is inserted into a section of the wire braid between the first end and the second end, and is configured to impinge the section with a spring force such that the section is widened radially with respect to a longitudinal axis of the wire braid.

A chain segment having wires that connect various electrical devices and connectors together. The wires are arranged in a pattern to facilitate strain relief. The wires, electrical devices, and connectors are encased in an injection molded material, and they are preferably coupled with a flexible material such as a fabric that can be stitched into a garment. The chain segment facilitates collection of movement data when stitched into an article of clothing. A method of manufacturing the chain segment that is modular to enable different configurations and different lengths of chains.

An all-wire weft-knit tubular sleeve can be knit from a plurality of electrically conductive wire filaments. Further, an electrically conductive bus wire can be interlaced in the weft knit pattern of the tubular sleeve to provide improved electrical contact along the entire length of the gasket. The exemplary weft-knit sleeve can allow for at least a 15% axial stretch without breaking the bus wire. The conductive wire filaments can be a copper/nickel alloy having a wire diameter of between about 0.075 mm and about 0.1 mm, a tensile strength of between about 70-125 KSI and an elongation of at least 12%.
