A contact is accommodated in a contact accommodating portion of a second insulator, an end portion of an electric wire is accommodated in an opened electric-wire-end-portion accommodating portion of a projection of a first insulator, the projection is accommodated in a projection accommodating portion of a contact with a flexible conductor being sandwiched therebetween and such that the opened electric-wire-end-portion accommodating portion is opposed to an electric-wire connection piece of the contact, the electric wire extends from the electric-wire-end-portion accommodating portion and makes contact with an electric-wire contact portion of the electric-wire connection piece of the contact, and a part of the flexible conductor is sandwiched between an outer surface of the projection and a conductor contact piece of the contact and makes contact with the conductor contact piece of the contact, whereby the electric wire is electrically connected to the flexible conductor via the contact.

An electrical connector includes an insulating body having a mating slot and multiple accommodating slots are in communication with the mating slot. Multiple terminals are accommodated in the accommodating slots. The terminals include ground terminals. Each terminal includes a connecting portion, an elastic arm, a tail portion, and an extending portion located between the connecting portion and the tail portion. The extending portion of each terminal extends obliquely downward and backward from the connecting portion. A grounding member is provided on the insulating body. The grounding member has a multiple upper and lower extending arms. A length of each upper extending arm is shorter than a length of each lower extending arm in the front-rear direction. The upper and lower extending arms respectively abut the ground terminals, thus shortening the transmission paths of the terminals. The grounding member and the ground terminals are in stable connection, thus reducing the resonance.

A thin type lock and unlock connector include a first shell, a second shell and an first insulator, which are buckled and combined with each other by the respective provided first fixing members to form a connector that can be connected to a flexible printed circuit board. The second shell provides a first locking member and a first elastic member to lock the flexible printed circuit board to the connector. When an external force is applied to the first pressing part of the first shell, it acts on the locking member to unlock the flexible printed circuit board that the flexible printed circuit board can be detached from the connector. The first insulator provides an action portion with a slope to be arranged corresponding to the first locking member, to determine the deformation stroke of the first locking member.

Disclosed herein are various implementations of communications connectors. In some implementations, a communications plug may include a housing and a body positioned in the housing. A flexible printed circuit board (PCB) may be wrapped at least partially around the body, a and a plurality of metal contact pads may be positioned on the flexible PCB to mate with plug interface contacts (PICs) of a communications jack when the communications plug is inserted into the communications jack.

A terminal to be connected to a front end part of a flexible board including an insulating base film and a conductive path is provided with a terminal body including a sandwiching portion for sandwiching the flexible board and a tubular shell to be disposed outside sandwiching portion. The sandwiching portion includes a conductive contact portion for contacting the conductive path of the flexible board. The shell includes a pressurizing portion for pressing the sandwiching portion toward the flexible board, the pressurizing portion projecting inwardly of the shell. The shell includes a wide portion not formed with the pressurizing portion and a narrow portion narrower inside than the wide portion by being formed with the pressurizing portion. The narrow portion is located outside the sandwiching portion, whereby the conductive contact portion of the sandwiching portion contacts the conductive path.

A plug includes at least one spring or blade contact element which is disposed in a housing and is connected in an electrically conducting manner to at least one insulation displacement contact that contacts and secures at least one insulated single-core cable. The at least one insulation displacement contact extends at a 90° angle from the spring or blade contact element in the plug-in direction of the spring or blade contact element in such a way that the at least one insulated single-core cable extending in the plug-in direction is contacted and secured by an insulation displacement contact.

A function module for electrical applications and method of making a function module for electrical applications. The function module includes: a functional member having a piercing area with at least one aluminum conductor trace; and an electrical connector having at least one piercing member. The at least one piercing member is configured to pierce through the at least one aluminum conductor trace in an electrically conductive manner and provide a form-fit connection between the functional member and the electrical connector within the piercing area. The functional member and the electrical connector are joined together within the piercing area by means of a solder connection.

An electrically adjustable table system includes a table, at least one electric drive for adjusting the table, a voltage supply, a control and a bus system. The at least one drive, the voltage supply and the control are connected to the bus system. The bus system comprises multiple multiwire cable sections, which are electrically connected to one another via insulation displacement connectors.

The disclosed embodiments relate generally to a multi-conductor ribbon cable provided for power and data transmission to a network of devices. The multi-conductor ribbon cable is keyed for mating with a modular connector. The conductors of the multi-conductor ribbon cable are connected to the network of devices via insulation displacement members and spring connectors contained within a modular connector.

A plug connector for flexible conductor films having film-insulated conductors, includes a plug connector housing in which at least one plug contact element is arranged, and a connection region in which blades electrically conductively connected to the at least one plug contact element penetrate and fix at least one film-insulated conductor and produce an electrical contact. The plug connector housing includes two housing parts which can be pushed into one another, of which the first housing part supports the blades and the at least one plug contact element electrically conductively connected thereto, and the second housing part receives and supports the flexible conductor film and has the at least one blade receptacle which is adapted to the blades and whose boundary surfaces are designed such that the at least a part of the blades is bent towards the film-insulated conductor when the two housing parts are pushed into one another.
