An electrical connector includes a dielectric housing having a terminal-receiving passage for insertion thereinto of a terminal in a given insertion direction. The terminal includes a spring contact arm at least in part projecting into the passage for engagement by an appropriate mating contact element. The terminal further includes an engagement arm projecting into the passage behind the spring contact arm at a location to provide an engagement shoulder for an insertion tool which forces the te...

An electrical connector includes a housing body (1) having an arranging section (5) in which a cable with a core wire (C1) consisting of a plurality of strands is placed; a retainer body (2) having contact elements (3) with a blade-like press contact section (12) so that when the retainer body is fitted in the housing body,.the press contact section cuts into the core wire for making press connection; a stepped-down portion (7) provided in the arranging section of the housing body near a positio...

An electrical connector for securing an electrical connection between a conductor and a wire or cable, comprises a first plate, a second plate below the first plate, a hinge attaching the rear portion of the first plate to the rear portion of the second plate, and a wire securing means attached to one of the plates. The first and second plates have tabs attached to their forward portions, and each plate has at least one hole therethrough, the holes being sized to receive a conductor. The hinge a...

An electrical box is provided in which a box enclosure is provided that includes a base, sides and at least one yoke for receiving an electrical device. The box enclosure can be formed of discrete components which can be assembled to form a single or multiple-gang box. A collar is provided as an interface between the box enclosure and the mounting surface. The collar hingeably retains a cover for optionally covering the electrical device. The cover in turn hingeably retains a cord door for admit...

The electrical connector may include a housing, a contact, a secondary lock, a grommet, a backplate, a bolt, a contact removal tool, and a splash guard. The housing includes openings which receive the contacts. The grommets are positioned in cavities at the rear of the housing. The housing and backplate are designed so that the grommets are subjected to compressive forces in order to enhance the sealing characteristic of the grommets. As the contact is inserted, a locking tab engages an opening ...

An electrical conductor establishes electrical contact between planar faces of a first terminal and a second terminal. The connector includes a resilient contact plate disposed between the faces, and locking assembly for retaining the terminals in engagement. A sealing gasket may be included, and the connector may be configured to join a number of separate wire pairs.

A single piece electrical receptacle terminal is provided with a compact rigidified transition section that interconnects the connection section to the contact section. A side wall of the transition section is provided with flaps that are crimped over the opposite side wall. Extensions of the contact arms are sandwiched between the transition section side walls. A particularly rigid and compact transition section is thus provided. The latter also enables greater access to the connection end of t...

An electrical machine has a rotor shaft which carries a plurality of rotor discs for rotation therewith. Each rotor disc has two pairs of rotor rims secured thereto. Each rotor rim consists of a single row of alternate magnets and pole pieces and is opposed by a series of stator cores which straddle the rotor rim. The stator cores are `c` shaped so that they receive flux from two adjacent magnets and close around two opposite rotor poles on either side of the rotor rim. The stator cores, formed ...

The electrical connector includes a housing (1) having a cavity (2); female terminals (7) having a support section (7A) supported by the housing and a flexible section (7C) extending from the support section and having a contact portion (7C1); protective walls (3) extending in the cavity and having separation sections (3B) and a connection section (3C) for connecting the separation sections on the front side to form accommodation spaces (3A) for housing the flexible sections (7C) such that the c...

An electrical connector comprises a housing, a terminal mounted within a cavity in the housing, and play-eliminating means for substantially preventing movement of the terminal within the cavity in a direction other than that along which the terminal is inserted into the cavity. The terminal is constituted by a connector member for electrical connection to a complementary terminal, and a wire-connection member for connection to an electrical wire. The wire-connection member has a smaller transve...
