Abstract:
A head (10) for a crimping tool assembly (12) comprises a generally "C" shaped body (14) which can withstand repeated tensile forces. The "C" shaped body (14) comprises an elongated beam portion (26) and a first arm (50) extending in a given direction from a first end of the beam portion (26) and a second arm (34) extending in the given direction from an opposing end of the beam portion (26). The beam portion (26) has opposed first and second elongated sides (15 and 17), with the plane of the first and second sides extending generally parallel to the given direction (N). The beam portion (26) also has an inside elongated third side (30) extending transversely of the given direction (N) between the first and second sides (15 and 17). The beam portion (26) further includes an outside elongated fourth side (58) extending transversely of the given direction (N) between the first and second sides (15 and 17). The third and fourth sides (30 and 58) of the beam (26) comprise continuous walls of a given thickness. The beam portion (26) has a plurality of internal support ribs (16) which extend between the first and second sides (15 and 17) transversely of the given direction (N). The ribs (16) are connected at one end to the third sidewall (30) and at their opposing end to the fourth side wall (58). The beam portion (26) also has a plurality of openings or depressions (18 and 20) in the first and second sides (15 and 17) for reducing the weight of the beam portion (26), the openings or depressions (18 and 20) are disposed in lower stress regions of the beam portion (26).
Abstract:
Connectors which can vertically fit each other. The connectors are connected to a conductive line. On a housing of the connector, a first front protruding part and a side protruding part are formed in a direction toward the outside of the housing. The first front protruding part is formed on a front plane of the housing, and the side protruding part is formed on a side plane of the housing. The first front protruding part operates for positioning at the time of fitting and for maintaining the fit. The side protruding part operates as a latch for maintaining the fit.
