Abstract: A crimp contact includes a crimp barrel having a crimp base, a pair of crimp shoulders, a crimp region, and an impedance matching region. The crimp shoulders in the crimp region form a longitudinal seam when bent around an electrical conductor. An outer surface of the crimp barrel in the impedance matching region has a gradual expansion along a direction of the longitudinal seam.

Abstract: An electrical ferrule for an electrical cable comprises a body defining a circumferential center portion connecting a first flank and a second flank, the first and second flanks arranged opposite one another in a radial direction of the ferrule. At least one latch or lock is defined on at least one of the flanks for selectively fixing the flanks together and closing the ferrule in a manner in which a diameter of the ferrule may be varied during its installation onto an electrical cable.

Abstract: A contact device includes an outer housing delimiting an inner space and an inner housing arranged in the inner space, the inner housing having a first recess. The contact device includes a contact element arranged in the inner space and a sealing element arranged between the contact element and the outer housing. The sealing element seals the inner space from the environment. The contact element has a second recess on an outside of the contact element aligned with the first recess. The contact device includes a contact securing device movable along the first recess to engage the second recess of the contact element.

CPC classification number: H01R43/048

Abstract: A method for crimping an electrical cable with a shielding braid and an insulation enclosing the shielding braid includes removing the insulation at a predetermined area to expose an exposed portion of the shielding braid. The method includes crimping an inner crimp sleeve onto the insulation adjacent to the predetermined area and then bending back the exposed portion of the shielding braid at least sectionally over the inner crimp sleeve.

Abstract: A method for producing a modularly configurable plug comprises inserting a cable insulator in a pre-shaped outer cable contact, positioning an inner cable contact of a cable in the cable insulator, and bending the pre-shaped outer cable contact to form a cable section. The cable section is adapted to a diameter of the cable and a diameter of the inner cable contact. The method further comprises positioning an inner interface contact in an interface insulator and inserting the interface insulator in an outer interface contact to form an interface section. The interface section is connected to the cable section. The interface section has one of a plurality of different lengths or one of a plurality of different shapes interchangeably connected to the cable section.
