The present disclosure provides embodiments of insulated compression-type electrical connectors used to connect one or more branch wires or conductors to one or more run wires or conductors.

In order to receive eight electrical crimp contacts, namely four electrical signal contacts and four electrical power contacts, and a Y-shaped shielding element in a hybrid electrical plug connector, according to the invention a contact carrier is designed in multiple parts, in particular three parts, wherein the signal contact receivers are located in the first contact carrier part. The central contact can be positioned on the first or second contact carrier part. When fastening these two contact carrier parts to one another, the central contact can thus be fixed between the two contact carrier parts. Furthermore, the Y-shaped shielding element is held on a holder of the first contact carrier part. This assembly is jointly inserted into the sleeve-shaped third contact carrier part so that the central contact is positioned with its plug-in region substantially centrally in the plug-in face of the plug connector.

A cable with terminal disclosed by this specification is provided with a shielded cable 11 including a conductive shield portion 15 for covering outer peripheries of two coated wires 12 and a sheath portion 16 for covering an outer periphery of the shield portion 15, a first outer conductor 51 made of metal and including a tubular portion 52 in the form of a rectangular tube, and a second outer conductor 60 including plate-like fixing barrels 62 to be crimped to wind around an outer surface of the tubular portion 52 in a circumferential direction. The tubular portion 52 includes a depressed portion 57 arranged inside to radially face the fixing barrels 62 and allowing the fixing barrels 62 to be crimped by causing the fixing barrels 62 to be excessively deformed beyond proper crimping positions.

A contact carrier for an electrical contact device comprises a contact carrier body and a contact element disposed in the contact carrier body. The contact carrier body has a connecting section and a conductor clamping section. The conductor clamping section is substantially closed in a circumferential direction of the contact carrier body and extends along a longitudinal direction of the contact carrier body. The contact element has a contact section extending from the connecting section for contacting a mating contact element.

The present disclosure pertains to a line connector for permanently connecting two or more electrical lines, with at least one metallic receiving sleeve which partially accommodates one of the lines, which exhibits at least a first through-opening as well as a second through-opening for introducing a welding tool or for introducing the lines, and at least a second compression section located between the through-openings, in which the receiving sleeve can be radially compressed. Furthermore, the present disclosure pertains to an electrical line assembly as well as a process for connecting two or more electrical lines.

A cable with terminal disclosed by this specification is provided with a shielded cable 11 including a conductive shield portion 15 for covering outer peripheries of two coated wires 12 and a sheath portion 16 for covering an outer periphery of the shield portion 15, a first outer conductor 51 made of metal and including a tubular portion 52 in the form of a rectangular tube, and a second outer conductor 60 including plate-like fixing barrels 62 to be crimped to wind around an outer surface of the tubular portion 52 in a circumferential direction. The tubular portion 52 includes a depressed portion 57 arranged inside to radially face the fixing barrels 62 and allowing the fixing barrels 62 to be crimped by causing the fixing barrels 62 to be excessively deformed beyond proper crimping positions.

A multiple bussed termination for connecting a plurality of wires comprises a plurality of splices each having a base and a region for holding some of the plurality of wires. The splices are connected to each other by a conductive strip extending from the base of a first splice of the plurality of splices to a remainder of the plurality of splices. The splices are each capable of being crimped to some of the plurality of wires.

A grounding connector has a body including a first side, a second side, and a mid-section extending therebetween, with an opening extending through the body from the first side to the second side. The body of the grounding connector includes a lock joint configured to join the grounding connector with a second grounding connector, with the lock joint including a recess inset into the mid-section of the body and a protrusion adjacent the recess extending from the mid-section.

A method of assembling a connector for automotive applications, comprising the steps of: providing a cable having at least one inner conductor; connecting an elongated inner signal contact of the connector to a stripped end of the at least one inner conductor; surrounding the elongated inner signal contact by an insulating element; placing a first shielding part of the connector around a first portion of the insulating element from a first radial direction; placing a second shielding part of the connector around a second portion of the insulating element from a second radial direction generally opposite to the first radial direction; and joining the first and second shielding parts to form a shielding contact of the connector surrounding the insulating element.

A connection device includes a conducting element exhibiting a tubular portion and including a conducting sheath which is perforated with distributed perforations according to a predetermined solid-void pattern, the tubular portion and the sheath being configured in such a way that the sheath can be placed inside the tubular portion with the end section positioned inside the sheath and so that the tubular portion and the sheath can then be crimped onto the end section. The sheath includes at least one longitudinal wall separating two distinct housings each configured to accept one respective longitudinal portion of the end section of cable.
