A contact element assembly for a plug connector part which is connectable in a plug-fitting manner to a mating plug connector part includes: a contact element which has a contact section for making electrical contact with a mating contact element, and a connecting section for producing a crimp connection with an electrical line connectable to the contact element. The connecting section is made of a copper alloy and has an opening for receiving the line and a circumferential surface delimiting the opening. The connecting section has a surface structure which is formed on the circumferential surface and operatively connects to the electrical line upon producing the crimp connection by reshaping the connecting section.

An electrical cable splice includes a housing having a channel configured to hold a first signal conductor of a first electrical cable therein. The channel is configured to hold a second signal conductor of a second electrical cable therein in electrical engagement with the first signal conductor such that the first and second signal conductors are electrically interconnected. The second electrical cable has a greater diameter than the first electrical cable. A ground shield external to the housing such that the ground shield extends at least partially around the first and second signal conductors. The ground shield is electrically connected to electrical ground conductors of the first and second electrical cables.

A shield connector is provided with a housing including a module accommodation chamber and a terminal module to be inserted into the module accommodation chamber from behind the housing. The terminal module is formed such that an inner conductor is surrounded by a dielectric and the dielectric is surrounded by an outer conductor. The outer conductor includes a projecting portion projecting from a position rearward of a front end of the outer conductor on an outer surface of the outer conductor. An inner wall surface constituting the module accommodation chamber has a facing inner surface facing the outer surface formed with the projecting portion. The facing inner surface is formed with a projection-like backlash eliminating portion. The projecting portion is arranged behind the backlash eliminating portion with the terminal module inserted in the module accommodation chamber.

An electrical terminal includes a contact portion that is adapted to engage a complementary contact and is connected to a transition portion. The electrical terminal also includes a crimp portion. The crimp portion includes a crimp base that extends in a first crimp direction from the transition portion to a base end. Two first crimp wings are located on opposite sides of the crimp base and extend in a second crimp direction. The first crimp wings are separated from each other by a width. Two second crimp wings are also located on opposite sides of the crimp base and extend in the second crimp direction. The second crimp wings are also separated from each other by the width.

An aluminum alloy contains equal to or more than 0.005 mass % and equal to or less than 2.2 mass % of Fe, and a remainder of Al and an inevitable impurity. In a transverse section of the aluminum alloy wire, a surface-layer void measurement region in a shape of a rectangle having a short side length of 30 μm and a long side length of 50 μm is defined within a surface layer region extending from a surface of the aluminum alloy wire by 30 μm in a depth direction, and a total cross-sectional area of voids in the surface-layer void measurement region is equal to or less than 2 μm.sup.2.

A single element electrical connector includes a single conductive contact element formed into a cage structure having a wire insert end and a wire contact end along a longitudinal centerline axis of the connector. The cage structure defines an upper pick-up surface having a surface area suitable for placement of a suction nozzle of a vacuum transfer device, as well as a pair of contact tines biased towards the centerline axis to define a contact pinch point for an exposed core of a wire inserted into the connector. A contact surface is defined by a member of the cage structure for electrical mating contact with a respective contact element on a component on which the connector is mounted.

A connection method of an RF cable end connector and a coaxial cable and an internal terminal used thereof are provided. An insulator is formed outside a body of the internal terminal by embedded molding, making the internal terminal have a composite structure integrated with the insulator. The internal terminal can be connected to the coaxial cable by, for example, clamping. This allows connection between the RF cable end connector and the coaxial cable to be easily accomplished by automatic processes, thereby reducing fabrication costs of RF cable end connector jumpers.

A plug arrangement having a plug and a cable that is connected thereto and includes at least one inner conductor and an outer conductor surrounding the inner conductor(s); an axial terminal section of the outer conductor is electrically connected to a sleeve portion of an outer conductor housing of the plug, said sleeve portion surrounding the outer conductor; a crimp point comprising a radial constriction of the sleeve portion is located between the axial terminal section of the outer conductor and the axial end of the inner conductor in the longitudinal direction (L) of the cable.

A coaxial cable connector comprising an inner sleeve, a nut and an outer sleeve, wherein the inner sleeve includes a first outer flange, a first rear extension portion, and a first surface being between the first outer flange and the first rear extension portion; the nut includes an inner threaded surface, and a first inner flange being between the first outer flange and the first surface; the outer sleeve includes a second rear extension portion and a second inner flange being on the first surface and an annular space formed between the first and second rear extension portions, wherein the outer sleeve further comprises a second outer flange disposed on the out surface of the outer sleeve outside the annular space, wherein the second outer flange has a maximum diameter greater than an outer diameter of the second inner flange, and an axial distance between a front end of the second outer flange and a rear end of the outer sleeve is greater than twice of that between the front end of the second outer flange and a front end of the annular space.
