H01R 11/09 - Individual connecting elements providing two or more spaced connecting locations for conductive members which are, or may be, thereby interconnected, e.g. end pieces for wires or cables supported by the wire or cable and having means for facilitating electrical connection to some other wire, terminal, or conductive member, blocks of binding posts characterised by the type of the connecting locations on the individual element or by the type of the connections between the connecting locations and the conductive members the connecting locations being identical
H01R 43/24 - Assembling by moulding on contact members
A one piece integral electrical terminal 100 has a mount portion 104 and a wire receiving portion 102. The wire receiving portion 102 has a continuous annular interior wall 133 having a contact portion with an integral oxide breaker 158 especially suited to breaking through the oxide layer on aluminum wire. The wire receiving portion 102 also has a sealing portion 136 with at least one integral seal ring 146. An electrical cable is made by crimping the electrical terminal 100 to an aluminum wire using a modified hexagonal crimp.

H01R 4/58 - Electrically-conductive connections between two or more conductive members in direct contact, i.e. touching one anotherMeans for effecting or maintaining such contactElectrically-conductive connections having two or more spaced connecting locations for conductors and using contact members penetrating insulation characterised by the form or material of the contacting members
H01R 13/03 - Contact members characterised by the material, e.g. plating or coating materials
H01R 13/52 - Dustproof, splashproof, drip-proof, waterproof, or flameproof cases
A push-on connector system includes a male push-on bore with conductor pin and a female push-on core with socket. A second bore is configured forwardly of the male push-on bore, and a latch track is positioned in the second bore and forms at least one, and preferably a plurality of, inclined latch surfaces. A movable collar mounted rearwardly of the female push-on core includes at least one, and preferably a plurality of pins. The movable collar is configured for engaging the second bore, and is rotatable and axially slidable. The pins slide along the inclined latch surfaces to axially drive the movable collar into the second bore. A resilient member is coupled between the movable collar and female push-on core to bias the female push-on core into the male push-on bore.
A mounting bracket for an electronic flight bag (EFB) includes a frame having a track and a mounting assembly that is having a base and a support that is moveably connected to the base and can be selectively fixed in position on the track. The mounting bracket may allow for singlehanded adjustment of the position of the mounting assembly with respect to track at one of at least two discrete locations along the track, or at any desired position along the track. Further, the mounting bracket may provide a single mechanism for both securing the EFB to the mounting assembly and orienting the support with respect to the base.
