The present invention relates to an electric contact element that has at least one crimping strap which is configured and arranged to reach around the outer circumference of an electric conductor, at least in sections, at least in a fully crimped state of the contact element. Furthermore, the invention relates to an electric contact arrangement that has at least one electric conductor and at least one contact element that has at least one crimping strap which is crimped, at least in sections, around an outer circumference of the conductor. Finally, the invention relates to a method of producing an electric contact arrangement, at least one crimping strap of a contact element being crimped, at least in sections, around an electric conductor. In order to seal an interior of the contact arrangement as simply and effectively as possible and with long-term stability against the penetration of corrosive media, provision is made according to the invention such that at least one front protection strap of the contact element is aligned running, at least in sections, transversely to the at least one crimping strap and rests against the latter, a front section of the electric conductor being covered, at least in sections, by the at least one front protection strap.

A device (1) for crimping connection elements (2). The device (1) comprises a machine frame (5), at least one punch, a drive assembly, at least one anvil (17), and a working chamber (31). The punch (3) is preferably arranged in a movable manner in relation to the machine frame (5). The punch (3) contains at least one working surface (4) for deforming a connection element (2). The drive assembly for moving the punch (3) is connected to the punch. The anvil (17) is connected to the machine frame (5) and has a receiving surface (8) for the connection element (2). The working chamber is located between the punch and the anvil and is opened and closed by a relative movement between the punch and the anvil. The device has at least one sonotrode, by which the receiving surface (8) of the anvil (17) is supplied with ultrasound.

A crimping tool including a main body, a force-applying device, and at least two crimping jaws for crimping a crimping connection to a conductor. The at least two crimping jaws are moveable relative to the main body by the force-applying device, and a compensating device which allows adoption of at least three processing positions of the at least two crimping jaws depending on a position of the force-applying device relative to the compensating device. A force storage means is arranged on the main body and allows, in a processing position of the at least two crimping jaws, in particular in which substantially no force can be transmitted to the at least two crimping jaws by the force-applying device, a force-locking connection to be made between the crimping connection and the at least two crimping jaws by a movement of the at least two crimping jaws relative to the main body.

A die clearance monitoring system includes a light source, a light detector, and a controller. The light source is disposed along a front side of a die set of a crimping device and emits light towards the die set. The die set includes a first crimp die and a second crimp die that engage and crimp an object along a crimp stroke. The light detector is disposed along a rear side of the die set. The light detector receives the emitted light from the light source that traverses across the die set through a gap defined between the first and second crimp dies and generates light absorption data based on the emitted light that is received. The controller is communicatively connected to the light detector. The controller processes the light absorption data to determine a relative spacing between the first crimp die and the second crimp die.

A first alternative of the application first defines a one-piece metal blank that will make it possible to produce a connector sub-assembly ready to be directly crimped to an insulated and shielded cable, prepared beforehand. A second alternative of the application first defines a pre-assembled connector sub-assembly that incorporates front and rear crimping portions with different electrical and/or mechanical characteristics, and which is ready to be directly crimped to an insulated and shielded cable, prepared beforehand. Either of the two alternatives makes it possible to minimize assembly steps and associated risks such as those due to the processes of fitting together a great many components according to the prior art.

A component pack including a carrier strip extending in a longitudinal direction and a plurality of technical components formed initially separately from the carrier strip and each fastened on the carrier strip. The technical components project from the carrier strip laterally in a transverse direction of the carrier strip.

A method for manufacturing a terminal-equipped electric wire is a method in which an exposed core wire of the electric wire is ultrasonically welded to a core wire connection portion of a terminal having a core wire connection portion and a coating crimping portion. The manufacturing method for the terminal-equipped electric wire including: supporting the core wire connection portion on an anvil; bringing the coating crimping portion into contact with a vibration suppressing contact portion; arranging the exposed core wire on the core wire connection portion and arranging the coating of the electric wire in the coating crimping portion; and ultrasonically welding the exposed core wire to the core wire connection portion in a state where the core wire connection portion is supported on the anvil and the coating crimping portion is in contact with the vibration suppressing contact portion.
