Abstract: A coaxial cable splicing device includes a core connector terminal and a tubular insulation member. The core connector terminal includes a first connection member configured to receive a first core of a first coaxial cable and a second connection member configured to receive a second core of a second coaxial cable therein. A conductive spacing member is positioned between the first connection member and the second connection member. The conductive spacing member includes a first stop surface to engage the first core and a second stop surface to engage the second core. The tubular insulation member includes a cavity configured to receive the core connector terminal, the first core of the first coaxial cable, and the second core of the second coaxial cable therein.

Abstract: A dress cover designed to house and guide an elongate conductor is disclosed herein. The dress cover includes a flange for connection to a connector and a conductor conduit that is rotatably affixed to the flange. The conductor conduit can be secured in various radial orientations with respect to the flange, providing flexibility in directing the conductor within the dress cover. This innovative design allows for efficient containment and guidance of the conductor, enhancing the functionality and versatility of the dress cover in various applications.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes an electrical terminal defining a pair of retaining ridges, a connector housing having a terminal cavity extending therethrough from a first opening to a second opening and a fixed terminal lock nib that projects inwardly into the terminal cavity from a rigid first wall to engage a first ridge of the pair of retaining ridges of the electrical terminal, and a terminal retainer inserted within the connector housing proximate the first opening and removably retained to the connector housing by a flexible retaining arm. The terminal retainer further includes a flexible terminal lock arm having a moveable terminal lock nib that projects inwardly into the terminal cavity from the flexible terminal lock arm to engage a second ridge of the pair of retaining ridges of the electrical terminal, thereby inhibiting removal of the electrical terminal from the terminal cavity through the second opening.

Abstract: An electrical splice connector may include a first splice terminal crimped to a first wire conductor of a first wire cable and crimped to a first wire conductor of a second wire cable. An electrical splice connector may include a second splice terminal crimped to a second wire conductor of the first wire cable and crimped to a second wire conductor of the second wire cable. An electrical splice connector include a dividing insulator formed of a dielectric material having a first cavity in which the first splice terminal is disposed and having a second cavity in which the second splice terminal is disposed. The second cavity is separated from the first cavity by a wall formed of the dielectric material.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes an electrical terminal, a terminal module in which the electrical terminal is disposed, a connector housing having a primary locking mechanism configured to secure the terminal module within the connector housing, a secondary locking mechanism also configured to secure the terminal module within the connector housing, and a retainer attached to the connector housing and configured to maintain compressive contact between the secondary locking mechanism and the terminal module. The secondary locking mechanism further includes a wire seal assembly that has a rigid tube, a compliant tubular inner seal axially disposed within the rigid tube, and a compliant tubular outer seal axially surrounding the rigid tube.
