    Abstract: A flexible circuit (FC) comprises a primary dielectric layer having a plurality of substantially parallel conductive circuit traces disposed therein and a secondary dielectric layer extending from or attached to the primary dielectric layer, wherein the secondary dielectric layer does not have any conductive circuit traces disposed therein, and wherein at least one of the primary and secondary dielectric layers defines an alignment feature for wrapping and securing the FC about a central structure. A method of wrapping and securing the FC about a central stricture comprises wrapping the FC about the central structure while aligning each alignment feature with a respective complimentary alignment feature such that the FC fully encompasses the central structure and is secured thereabout.

    Abstract: A clip includes first and second portions that are joined to one another by a living hinge. A snap includes first and second coupling elements that are respectively provided on the first and second portions. The first and second coupling elements are decoupled from one another in an open clip position and are coupled to one another in a closed clip position. Each of the first and second portions define an elongated slot that extends through a width of the clip that has an open end and a closed end. The open ends face a same direction. Each of the first and second portions include a first and second spring respectively. The first and second springs face one another. The first and second springs are configured to clamp about a wiring in the closed clip position.

    Abstract: An electrical connector includes wiring with multiple wires. Each wire has a conductor covered in insulation. Each wire has a stripped portion that exposes the conductors. The stripped portions are stacked on top of one another. A housing has first and second housing portions that provide a cavity. The first housing portion receives the stripped portions. The second housing portion includes a spring that has a closed portion that extends into the cavity and is configured to urge the stripped portions into engagement with one another when the first and second housing portions are secured to another in an assembled connector condition.
