A rotary crimping tool assembly includes a tool housing defining a crimping chamber, and one or more crimp wheels within the crimping chamber. The crimping chamber is configured to receive the portion of the structure in proximity to the crimp wheel(s). The crimp wheel(s) are configured to be pressed into and rotated relative to the portion of the structure to form one or more crimps in the portion of the structure.

Rotary crimping tool assembly

An electrical connector and system for connecting to a terminal post. The electrical connector includes a housing body, a contact and a locking release member. The housing body includes a post receiving passage for receiving the terminal post therein. The contact is provided in the post receiving passage and is positioned about the circumference of the post receiving passage. The contact will make an electrical engagement with a terminal post inserted into the post receiving passage regardless of the orientation of the terminal post with respect to the contact. The electrical connector which prevents the improper mating of the connector to the post, prevents unwanted rotation of the connector, provides a visual indication that the proper connection is secured and provides a secondary lock to ensure that unwanted unmating of the connector does not occur.

Quick connect power connector system

A connector system, keying member and method for electrically connecting a post to a connector. The system includes a terminal post, a connector and a keying member. The connector has a housing body with a post receiving passage for receiving the terminal post therein. The housing body has a keying member receiving recesses provided proximate a first end of the post receiving passage. A keying member is positioned on the terminal post and maintained thereon. The keying member is configured to be positioned in the keying member receiving recesses when the connector is properly inserted onto the terminal post. The keying member prevents the mating of an improper connector onto a respective post.

Quick connect power connector isolating system

A contact element for providing high current capabilities between an electrical contact and a mating contact. The contact element includes multiple first resilient contact arms and multiple second resilient contact arms. The first contact arms and the second contact arms have first contact sections and second contact sections. The first contact sections electrically engage the mating contact when the mating contact is fully inserted into the electrical contact. The second contact sections electrically engage a portion of the electrical contact when the mating contact is fully inserted into the electrical contact. The first contact sections and the second contact sections provide redundant contact sections which allow for the passage of a high amperage current with low resistance and low temperature.

High performance contact element

An electrical connector for connecting to a terminal post. The electrical connector includes a housing body, a contact and a locking release member. The housing body includes a post receiving passage for receiving the terminal post therein. The contact is provided in the post receiving passage and is positioned about the circumference of the post receiving passage. The contact will make an electrical engagement with a terminal post inserted into the post receiving passage regardless of the orientation of the terminal post with respect to the contact. The locking release member is moveably mounted to the housing body and is moveable between a first position and a second position. The locking release member cooperates with a locking spring member. The locking spring member has a locking section which cooperates with a recess of the terminal post when the locking release member is in the first position.

Quick connect power connector

An electrical connector for connecting to a terminal post. A contact is provided in electrical engagement with the terminal post regardless of the orientation of the contact with respect to the terminal post. A locking slide is moveably mounted to the housing body. A first reference member is provided on a first end of the body of the connector, the first reference member is provided proximate a first sidewall of the body of the connector. A second reference member is provided on the first end of the body of the connector, the second reference member is provided proximate a second sidewall of the body of the connector. When the locking slide is in the prelocked position, the first reference member is visible and when the locking slide is in the locked position, the second reference member is visible.

A laser level includes a housing, a pendulum pivotably mounted to the housing, and a laser diode assembly disposed on the pendulum. A gimbal assembly is employed for pivotably mounting the pendulum to the housing. The gimbal assembly includes a frame connected to the housing, a first pair of bearings disposed on the frame, an axle extending through the first pair of bearings, a body disposed on the axle and pivotably supporting the pendulum, and a second pair of bearings disposed between the body and the pendulum. The first pair of bearings is disposed on one side of the second pair of bearings.
