A low insertion force contact terminal which has a conductor mating portion, a securing portion and a substrate mating portion. The conductor mating portion is configured to terminate a conductor therein. The securing portion is configured to secure the terminal in a terminal receiving cavity of a housing. The substrate mating portion extends from the securing portion. The substrate mating portion has at least two sections which have curved portions thereon. At least one embossment is provided on a first section of the at least two sections or a second section of the at least two sections. The curved portions of the at least two sections move independently, which allows the curved portions to exert a low normal force on walls of through holes of a substrate to which the contact terminal is mated. The low normal force is sufficient to provide a stable electrical connection.

Low insertion force contact terminal

An electrical connector includes a housing having walls forming a cavity that receives a mating electrical connector. The walls include a base wall, side walls, and end walls. The base wall includes contact channels. The first side wall includes a slider slot open to the cavity. The electrical connector includes contacts held in the contact channels. The electrical connector includes a slider received in the slider slot and movable in a sliding direction within the slider slot. The slider includes a slider post extending into the cavity and movable within the cavity as the slider moves in the sliding direction. The slider post is configured to be received in a guide track of the mating electrical connector to locate the mating electrical connector within the cavity of the housing.

Electrical connector having a latching slider

An electrical connector system is provided and includes a connector housing including a base and a plurality of terminal cavities extending through the base. The base includes a retention shoulder within each terminal cavity. The electrical connector system includes terminals received in the corresponding terminal cavities. Each terminal includes a locking lance engaging the corresponding retention terminal to retain the terminal in the corresponding terminal cavity. Each locking lance includes a strengthening rib extending length-wise along the locking lance.

Electrical connector system

A terminal and a method for terminating a wire. The terminal incudes a wire support member having a wire securing portion and a wire contacting portion. The terminal also includes a wire positioned in the wire support member that has a contact section which is positioned in the wire contacting portion of the wire support member. The contact section of the wire makes an electrical and mechanical connection with a mating wire, a mating terminal or a mating contact surface.

Terminal which makes direct wire-to-wire or wire-to-mating surface connection

A low insertion force contact terminal which has a conductor mating portion, a securing portion and a substrate mating portion. The conductor mating portion is configured to terminate a conductor therein. The securing portion is configured to secure the terminal in a terminal receiving cavity of a housing. The substrate mating portion extends from the securing portion. The substrate mating portion has at least two sections which have curved portions thereon. The at least two sections move independently, which allows the curved portions to exert a normal force on walls of through holes of a substrate to which the contact terminal is mated which is sufficient to provide a stable electrical connection while allowing for a low insertion force.

An electrical connection assembly includes a cable having a conductor, a metallic textile in electrical contact with the conductor, and a crimp element creating a pressure between the conductor and the metallic textile.

Electrical connection assembly, method of electrically connecting a conductor of a cable with a metallic textile

An electrical contact device comprises a contact body and a mating contact receiver. The mating contact receiver is mountable on the contact body in at least two positions and receives a mating contact device along two different axes.

Electrical contact device

A contact stud is disclosed. The contact stud has a protector, a connection section, and a base section. The connection section is insertable into a terminal along an insertion direction. The connection section has a contact region protected by the protector from an insulative coating applied to a remainder of the connection section. The base section is mounted on a grounding surface.

Contact stud, terminal and contact assembly in particular for car technology

An electric contact is disclosed. The electric contact has an electric contact section including a plurality of contact springs with different geometrical shapes and a connecting section connected to an electric conductor.

A connector assembly for electrically contacting a blade connector to a second connector The connector assembly includes a blade connector which has a contact surface plane that is electrically connected to the second connector in the mated state. In order to improve mechanical and electrical properties of the overall connector assembly and, in particular, of the blade connector, the assembly further includes a mounting cage in which the blade connector is captively held and which has at least one clamping device that presses the second connector onto the contact surface plane of the blade connector in the mated state.

Connector assembly with a blade connector

A connector assembly is provided and includes a connector, a lock, and a spring arrangement. The connector has a housing, a spring arrangement holder, and a plug section. The housing has an upper shell and a lower shell that provide a lock receiving passageway into an interior thereof. The spring arrangement holder is disposed along the lower shell. The plug section is disposed along the lower shell and opposite the spring arrangement holder. The lock is inserted into the lock receiving passageway. The spring arrangement is inserted into the spring arrangement holder.
