An electric cable assembly includes an electric cable having a cable jacket and one or more electrical wires extending through the cable jacket, the cable jacket defining one or more retention structures arranged at an outer surface of the cable jacket; and a sleeve adapted to connect to an electrical connector and surrounding the cable jacket in an area outside the electrical connector, the sleeve including one or more engagement structures engaged with the one or more retention structures, where the engagement of the one or more retention structures with the one or more engagement structures facilitates a retention of the sleeve with the cable jacket.

A sealed cable feedthrough of a plug connector includes a housing having an opening receiving a cable, a cover partially covering the opening, the cover having a through hole receiving the cable along an insertion direction, and a seal member sealing an interface between the housing and the cover. The seal member has a tubular member with a through hole receiving the cable along the insertion direction. The tubular member is arranged within the through hole of the cover and extends along a direction parallel to the insertion direction. The tubular member seals an interface between the cover and the cable.

Systems and methods for a coupler including: a cable comprising a bend relief disposed at an end of the cable and one or more wires; a socket comprising one or more pins and one or more socket terminals, where the one or more pins are electrically connected to the one or more socket terminals; and a housing body disposed between the cable and the socket, where the housing body comprises a portion of the bend relief and the one or more wires connected to the one or more socket terminals, and where at least a portion of the housing body is made of hot melt such that the housing body encapsulates the portion of the bend relief, the one or more socket terminals, and the one or more wires connected to the one or more socket terminals.

A flexible cable support includes a first elongated member, a second elongated member and a base. The first elongated member and the second elongated member extend along a longitudinal axis. The base may connect the first elongated member and second elongated member. The first elongated member, the base, and the second elongated member define a longitudinal recess which is configured to receive a cable.

The cable assembly includes a first wire assembly. The first wire assembly is connected to a first connector and a second connector. The first connector includes a shell and the shell includes an extension. The extension extends away from the rear of the connector. In one embodiment, the extension is integral with the shell. The extension includes one or more openings. The first wire assembly is bent in a controlled manner at first bend. The first opening in the extension maintains the first wire assembly in the bent position to maintain control of the radius in first bend. The radius is controlled to allow the first wire assembly to fit in a small space.

An apparatus includes a strain relief formed in helical shape and formed with a U-shaped channel. The strain relief can be used around a cable of a component or a spool extension of a fiber tray.

The present disclosure discloses a protective sleeve used for matching with a cable of a cable connector. The protective cover is used to be fixed on the cable to prevent the cable from being excessively bent. The present disclosure also discloses a cable connector assembly having the protective sleeve. Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure is capable of preventing the cable from being excessively bent by providing the protective cover fixed on the cable.

An electric cable assembly includes an electric cable having a cable jacket and one or more electrical wires extending through the cable jacket, the cable jacket defining one or more retention structures arranged at an outer surface of the cable jacket; and a sleeve adapted to connect to an electrical connector and surrounding the cable jacket in an area outside the electrical connector, the sleeve including one or more engagement structures engaged with the one or more retention structures, where the engagement of the one or more retention structures with the one or more engagement structures facilitates a retention of the sleeve with the cable jacket.

An electrical plug includes a first, second, and third plug terminal, and a terminal retainer configured to secure the first, second, and third plug terminals within the electrical plug. The first, second, and third plug terminal are attached to a first, second, and third electrical wire respectively. The terminal retainer defines a flexible structure in which the first plug terminal is secured, thereby allowing the first plug terminal to move independently of the second and third plug terminals. The flexible structure may be in the form of a cantilever beam, wherein the first plug terminal is secured in a location proximate a free end of the cantilever beam. The terminal retainer consists of a single piece of injection molded plastic. The electrical plug may be part of an electrical vehicle battery charger.

A photovoltaic assembly comprising: (a) at least two photovoltaic components that are adjacent to each other, each photovoltaic component comprising: (i) a partial connector channel in communication with a partial connector channel in an adjacent photovoltaic component and (ii) one or more connector receptors; (b) a connector located at least partially in the partial connector channel of the photovoltaic component and at least partially in the partial connector channel of the adjacent photovoltaic component so that the connector connects the photovoltaic component to the adjacent photovoltaic component, the connector comprising: a housing having: (1) a top housing and (2) a bottom housing, wherein the top housing and the bottom housing each include a first end and a second end; one or more flexible electrical conductors that extend from the first end to the second end; wherein the top housing and the bottom housing each include one or more mechanical flexing regions that allow the housing to mechanically flex.
