The present disclosure provides an electrical connector comprising an insulating body, a terminal component, and a fixing component. The insulating body comprises a mating slot. The terminal component is disposed in the mating slot. The terminal component comprises a pair of first terminal members and a pair of second terminal members. The pair of first terminal members are disposed between the pair of second terminal members. Each of the first terminal members comprises a plurality of first elastic contacting parts and a cable connecting part. Each of the second terminal members comprises a plurality of second elastic contacting parts. The plurality of second elastic contacting parts correspondingly abut against the plurality of first elastic contacting parts. The fixing component fixes the pair of the first terminal members and the pair of the second terminal members. A cable is directly connected to each of the cable connecting parts.

A method for contacting a wire (1), in particular an aluminum wire, with a connecting body (4), in particular with a plug of a coil body (5), comprising the following steps: connecting the wire (1) materially to the connecting body (4) at at least one point (2, 3); after connecting, enclosing a connecting region including the at least at one point (2, 3) is by a shrink tube (6) with an inner glue (7), the shrink tube (6) encompassing the connecting body (4).

An apparatus that melts and monitors sleeves for installation onto shielded cables. The apparatus includes a heat source for melting the sleeve, cable supports for supporting the cable during the melting process, a sensor system that is configured to measure a dimension of the sleeve during melting, and a computer that is connected to receive sensor data from the sensor system and send heater control signals to the heat source. The computer is configured to receive dimensional data from the sensor system, monitor that dimensional data by performing a dimensional analysis, and then deactivate or remove the heat source in response to dimensional analysis results indicating that the sleeve is fully melted (in the case of a solder sleeve) or only fully shrunken (in the case of a dead end sleeve) onto the cable.

A shield trim is performed by tearing bunched shield strands circumferentially along a circular edge. The apparatus includes a pair of aligned metal plates that have been drilled through multiple times such that holes of varying diameters pass through both plates. A cable gripper on the entry side of the device clamps the cable in place. A shield gripper on the rear side of the device closes over the exposed shielding of the cable, and the two plates are pushed together. The shield gripper travels with the rear plate, pushing the shield over the wires and causing the shield to bunch between the two plates. With the two plates pushed together, both grippers open and the cable is pulled free from the device. This pull forces a stress concentration which tears the shield strands across the sharp edge of the hole, producing a uniformly trimmed shield.

The invention relates to a method for sealing a contact point region comprising at least one contact point at an electrical line connection, wherein the line connection comprises at least one electrical line and at least one conductive element electrically connected thereto. The method starts by arranging a shrink tube on the outer circumference of the contact point region, in a first region extending over the contact point region on both sides in the longitudinal direction. This is followed by heating the shrink tube to shrinking temperature. During the heating of the shrink tube, an inductive heating of the electrical conductor is additionally performed, at least in the contact point region, and so hotmelt adhesive arranged inside the shrink tube and/or on the outer circumference of the contact point region is heated to its melting temperature. The invention also relates to a device for sealing a contact point region and to a sealing at such a region.
