    摘要: An electrical connector and associated terminal are disclosed for making an electrical connection to a wire. The terminal includes a plurality of metal plates adjoining each other to form a stack that defines a passage for receiving the wire. The plates include a plurality of cutter plates disposed between a pair of outer holding plates. Each of the cutter plates has a pair of cutting edges for disrupting any insulation on the wire to permit a conductor of the wire to directly contact the cutter plate. One or more of the cutter plates may have a contact projection for making an electrical connection. The connector includes the terminal and may further include a housing. The holding plates of the terminal have outer edges with abutment features for engaging interior surfaces of the housing.

    摘要: An electromagnetic compatability (EMC) shield and a method of producing the same are disclosed. The EMC shield is for mounting to a substrate having a plurality of holes formed therein, such as a printed circuit board. The EMC shield is formed from a sheet of conductive metal and includes a top wall having opposing side portions. A pair of opposing first side walls are joined to the top wall at first bends, respectively. Each first side wall has a bottom portion with a plurality of mounting contacts extending therefrom. The mounting contacts may have a press-fit construction and are adapted for receipt in the holes of the substrate. The EMC shield further includes a pair of opposing second side walls, each of which is joined by a second bend to one of the first side walls. Each second side wall has a top portion that at least partially adjoins one of the side portions of the top wall.

    摘要: An electrically conductive contact and a method of forming the same from a length of wire are disclosed. The contact has a pin section connected to a fastening section. The fastening section is adapted for press-fitting into the hole of a substrate and includes a solid tip, a neck connected to the pin section, first and second arcuate side surfaces, and first and second major surfaces through which an enlarged slot extends. Each of the first and second major surfaces is at least partially flattened.

    摘要: A voltage pick-up connector for connection to a bipolar plate of a fuel cell. The voltage pick-up connector includes a housing having a housing slot for receiving the bipolar plate. A pair of electrically conductive contact plates are disposed inside the housing and have contact elements for engaging the bipolar plate. An actuator is disposed between the contact plates and is disposed inside the housing. The actuator has a slot for receiving the bipolar plate. The actuator is movable between an extended position, wherein the actuator is disposed between the contact elements so as to separate the contact elements, and a retracted position, wherein the actuator is not disposed between the contact elements.

    摘要: A battery module having a plurality of battery cells disposed in a housing and interconnected by upper and lower interconnect panels stamped from sheets of conductive metal. Each of the upper and lower interconnect panels have a plurality of contacts secured to terminals of the battery cells, respectively. The contacts are at least partially disposed in panel openings extending through the upper and lower interconnect panels. A carrier is provided and includes a lead frame molded into a body of thermoplastic resin. The lead frame connects a plurality of locations on the upper and lower interconnect panels to a monitoring module that measures physical properties at the locations.
