Abstract: A conductive terminal for a flat flexible cable comprises a first contact surface, and a second contact surface opposing the first contact surface. The first and second contact surfaces define a space therebetween for receiving a flat flexible cable along a longitudinal direction of the terminal. A structure of protruding elements is defined on the first contact surface and includes a plurality of protruding elements extending from the first contact surface in a direction of the second contact surface. The structure of protruding elements includes at least one protruding element having a first height, and at least one protruding element having a second height, distinct from the first height.

Abstract: A method of detecting temperature of an electrical terminal. The method includes: applying a material patch to a surface of the electrical terminal, the material patch containing a polymer matrix with a polymeric positive temperature coefficient material which contains a mixture of electrically conductive magnetic particles, whereby the material patch does not appreciably increase the electrical resistance or thermal capacitance of the electrical terminal; and remotely sensing a change in the material patch with an electrically isolated circuit which is external to the electrical terminal to determine if the electrical terminal is operating at a safe temperature to optimize current flow across the electrical terminal.

Abstract: A conductive terminal for a flat flexible cable comprises a first contact surface, and a second contact surface opposing the first contact surface. The first and second contact surfaces define a space therebetween for receiving a flat flexible cable along a longitudinal direction of the terminal. A dimpled structure is defined on the first contact surface and includes a plurality of dimples extending from the first contact surface in a direction of the second contact surface. The dimpled structure includes at least one dimple having a first height, and at least one dimple having a second height, distinct from the first height.
