In one embodiment, an apparatus for applying a flexible, expandable sleeving over an elongated structure includes a first area for receiving the member and an elongated hollow conduit that receives the elongated structure within a hollow interior space thereof. The expandable sleeving is compressed and bunched and held in compression along an outer surface of the conduit. The apparatus also includes a second area that includes a pair of rollers that are disposed about one end of the conduit and are configured so that they contact the sleeving as it is paid out onto an outside of the elongated structure and prevent the compressed sleeving from suddenly releasing its stored energy and self-ejecting off of the conduit as the sleeving and bundle are mated and are moved away from the rollers.

Method and apparatus for applying flexible sleeving

A connector system includes a first connector part including at least one first cavity formed therein. The first connector part has at least one first contact. The system includes a second connector part including at least one second cavity formed therein. The second connector part is complementary to the first connector part such that when the first and second connector parts mate together. The first and second cavities are at least partially aligned and the first and second contacts are placed in electrical contact with one another. The system also includes a printed circuit board sub-assembly including a printed circuit board, a plurality of spring contacts that are electrically coupled to the printed circuit board. The sub-assembly has a stabilizing element that includes a plurality of vanes with the spring contacts being disposed between the vanes. The sub-assembly is securely disposed within the first connector part such that the spring contacts are accessible along both a front surface thereof and along an opposite second surface thereof.

In one exemplary embodiment, an electrical connector including a D-subminiature connector assembly that includes a base; a D-subminiature connector mounted to the base; and a header mounted to the base. The header has a plurality of internal contacts and an open rear end for receiving a receptacle that includes conductive contacts that are electrically connected to the internal contacts when the receptacle is fully inserted into and engaged with the header.

D-subminiature connector assemblies and a housing therefore

In one exemplary embodiment, an electrical connector includes a D-subminiature connector assembly including a base, a D-subminiature connector mounted to the base, and a terminal block mounted to the base and spaced from the D-subminiature connector. The terminal block has individual terminal openings for receiving wires associated with an electrical cable. Each terminal opening is defined by an axis that intersects a plane containing the base. The electrical connector also includes a hood receiving and holding the D-subminiature connector assembly.
