Abstract:
A shielded electric cable assembly comprises a shielded electric cable and a shielded electric connector that has an inner terminal, an insulator and an outer shielding terminal. The inner terminal has an attachment portion that is supported on a projecting anvil of the insulator that is disposed in an intermediate bay of the outer shielding terminal. The bay has an opening for a crimp tool that crimps the attachment portion of the inner terminal onto an exposed end of a conductive core of the shielded electric cable. The intermediate bay is closed by side wall flaps of the intermediate bay or by a closure shell. The crimp tool that may be part of the insulator.
Abstract:
A power safety system (PSS) includes a plurality of thermally-triggered electrical breaking arrangements (TTEBAs (11) ). The plurality of TTEBAs are associated with a plurality of electrical devices (EDs (12,13) ) disposed external to the PSS. The PSS further includes a plurality of electrical power connections (EPCs (19) ) associated with said plurality of TTEBAs (11) that are configured to respectively electrically connect the PSS to the plurality of EDs (12,13). When at least one TTEBA in the plurality of TTEBAs is electrically operative and at least one thermal event occurs that is sufficient to thermally activate the at least one electrically operative TTEBA, at least the EPC (19) associated with the at least one thermally activated TTEBA is electrically broken. A method to protect a human operator of the PSS from a thermal event is also presented. A PSS also extends to a primary and a secondary electrical charging system (10) used to charge a battery of a vehicle (14).
