Abstract
An electrical connector includes a first terminal having a planar first pad for connection to a power conductor of a first flat electrical wire and a first interface for mating with a corresponding first mating terminal. The first pad is arranged substantially perpendicular to the first interface. The electrical connector also includes a second terminal having a planar second pad for connection to a power conductor of a second flat electrical wire and a second interface for mating with a corresponding second mating terminal. The second pad is arranged substantially perpendicular to the second interface.
Claims20
An electrical connector, comprising:
- a first terminal having a planar first pad configured to be connected to a power conductor of a first flat electrical wire and a first interface configured to connect to a first corresponding mating terminal, the first pad being arranged substantially perpendicular to the first interface;
- and
- a second terminal having a planar second pad configured to be connected to a power conductor of a second flat electrical wire and a second interface configured to connect to a second corresponding mating terminal, the second pad being arranged substantially perpendicular to the second interface.
An electrical connector, comprising:
- a first terminal contained within a first terminal housing;
- a second terminal contained within a second terminal housing;
- an outer housing having a cavity configured to receive and retain the first and second terminal housings;
- and
- a curable sealant material injected within the cavity configured to further retain the first and second terminal housings within the cavity.
An electrical connector, comprising:
- a flat electrical wire having a shield conductor surrounding a power conductor connected to an electrical terminal;
- an electromagnetic shield surrounding a portion of the electrical terminal, the electromagnetic shield;
- and
- a pointed fastening device configured to mechanically and electrically interconnect the shield to the shield conductor by piercing through the shield conductor.
