Described embodiments provide a flat conductive fluid sensor cable capable of manufacture in long lengths comprising a flexible substrate, two or more flat conductors, and a fluid-permeable cover material arranged to allow a conductive fluid to form an electrically conductive path between the two or more conductors when conductive fluid contacts the conductive fluid sensor cable.

A connection element for electrically contacting tension members embedded into a matrix material of a load-bearing belt for an elevator system has a frame with an upper part, a lower part and multiple electrically conductive contact elements. The frame is shaped to receive the belt in an interior space delimited at at least two opposite sides. The contact elements are formed as stamped and bent metal parts, and some regions of the contact elements are arranged in the upper part of the frame with other regions protruding from the upper part of the frame into the interior space, for example in the form of piercing tips, in order to contact the tension members embedded in the portion of the belt received in the interior space.

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.

A housing assembly for a plier-operated insulation-displacement connector includes a first housing section and a second housing section. The first housing section and the second housing section are movable with respect to one another. Each of the first housing section and the second housing section has a top surface grippable by a jaw of a plier. The top surface of the first housing section has a concave area in a first direction. The top surface of the second housing section at least one of: has a concave area in the first direction, and is slidably arranged along the first direction with respect to the top surface of the first housing section.

Described embodiments provide a flat conductive fluid sensor cable capable of manufacture in long lengths comprising a flexible substrate, two or more flat conductors, and a fluid-permeable cover material arranged to allow a conductive fluid to form an electrically conductive path between the two or more conductors when conductive fluid contacts the conductive fluid sensor cable.

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 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 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.
