Abstract:
A signal transmission cable with insulation piercing terminals includes a flat cable having a plurality of conductors, and a plurality of conductive terminals electrically connected to an end of the flat cable. The conductors respectively have a sheathed section, and a bare section located at an end of the sheathed section and having a length ranged between 0.01 mm and 4 mm. The sheathed sections are respectively surrounded by a first sheath before being together surrounded by a second sheath. The conductive terminals respectively include a spring contact and a plurality of piercing sections formed at an end of the spring contact for electrically connecting to the conductors of the flat cable. The bare sections with a defined length can reduce the stub effect on a signal transmitted via the signal transmission cable to achieve better impedance matching and reduced crosstalk interference during digital signal transmission.

Abstract:
There is provided a press-contact connection apparatus, including: a base part; press-contact terminals which are fixed to the base part; and an electric wire holder which holds a plurality of electric wires to be press-contacted with the respective press-contact terminals. The base part includes a support which supports the electric wire holder rotatably and serves as a fulcrum of a rotation of the electric wire. The electric wire holder includes a rotational shaft which is provided in one end portion of the electric wire holder and supported by the support. The electric wire holder holds the plurality of electric wires to be extended in an axial direction of the rotational shaft, and bends a part of each electric wire in a U-shape so that a bottom portion of the U-shape is arranged closer to the support than a portion bent and extending from an upper end of the U-shape is.
Abstract:
For connecting a flat cable having a wire interval and a plurality of contact blades having a terminal interval different from the wire interval, a wiring harness includes a flat cable having a plurality of electric wires and joints joining the adjacent electric wires to each other, and a plurality of contact blades arranged along a widthwise direction of the flat cable and connected to a core wire of the electric wire by penetrating an interim portion in a lengthwise direction of the flat cable. A slit is provided at the interim portion at the joint. The plurality of electric wires at the interim portion is positioned corresponding to the contact blade to be electrically connected thereto by being neared to each other by narrowing a width of the slit.
Abstract:
An elongated polymeric ribbon is mounted to the cabinet of a refrigerator/freezer or the door and at least one electrical conductor is integrally formed in the ribbon, which also integrally includes at least one fluid conduit. In one embodiment, the ribbon is mounted in association with an elongated spine, such that a module can be mounted anywhere along the spine and coupled to the polymeric ribbon for receiving operating utilities therefrom. This system provides the manufacturer with the capability of positioning a module requiring operating utilities at any desired location within a refrigerator/freezer cabinet and/or on the doors of the refrigerator/freezer. The ribbon connector is accessed by connections which allow dealers to customize refrigerators for individual consumers.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for crosstalk compensation in a jack of a modular communications connector includes a flexible printed circuit board connected to jack contacts and to connections to a network cable. The flexible printed circuit board includes conductive traces arranged as one or more couplings to provide crosstalk compensation.
Abstract:
An embodiment provides a system for connecting a telematics device to a host vehicle. The system may comprise a short-range wireless transmitter and a short-range wireless receiver. The short-range wireless transmitter may be connected to an in-vehicle diagnostic system. The short-range wireless receiver may be connected to the telematics device installed in the host vehicle. The short-range wireless transmitter may be configured to wirelessly transmit diagnostic data to the short-range wireless receiver.
Abstract:
A terminal block for a telecommunication cable, which includes a substrate, an insulated electrical contact and a housing, which surrounds the substrate. The substrate has a front side and a back side, and includes a plurality of openings extending from the front side to the back side of the substrate and adapted to receive an insulated electrical contact. An insulated electrical contact is positioned within each of the plurality of openings. A housing surrounds the substrate and forms a plurality of sockets, and wherein each socket is adapted to receive an electrical connector.
Abstract:
A junction device includes a junction device main portion configured for attachment to an electrical enclosure and a modular device portion electrically coupled to the junction device main portion and configured for electrical coupling to an inner junction of the electrical enclosure. At least one conductive pass-through electrically couples the inner junction of the electrical enclosure to an outer junction of the electrical enclosure. The outer junction is enclosed by an outer enclosure that is configured to engage the electrical enclosure thereby surrounding the outer junction to prevent degradation of a coupled external high-voltage conductor and to provide fire protection.
Abstract:
An embodiment provides a method for mounting a telematics device within a vehicle that has an on-board diagnostic unit for collecting diagnostic data. The telematics device may be coupled to an original on-board diagnostic connector mounted in an accessible location within the vehicle to enable a diagnostic scan tool. The diagnostic scan tool may have a connector which is unique to the type of vehicle. The method may comprise: 1) mounting the telematics unit within the vehicle such that it may be hidden from view; 2) coupling an electrical cable to the telematics unit; 3) removing the original on-board diagnostic connector from the accessible location in which it was mounted; 4) coupling the electrical cable to the original on-board diagnostic connector; 5) coupling another diagnostic connector capable of mating with the scan tool to the electrical cable; and 6) mounting the diagnostic connector in the accessible location.
