Method utilizes a standard terminal lug, a braided wire passed through the barrel and overlapping the top of the lug, and a ferrule to clamp the end of the wire. Electrical connectors can be sterilized and visibly inspected for reliability.

Interference method produces a moire pattern having a shape correlated with the lead spacing. A continuous check of the spacing is possible if the material between the leads is translucent. Technique is quick, accurate, convenient, and simple to operate.
Termination adapter replaces braid ring and ensures permanent attachment and grounding of sheath wires. The inner ferrule of the termination is slipped inside the exposed ends of the sheath wires and the outer ferrule is placed over the wires and crimped in place to secure the wires for grounding.

Stripping tool exposes an area of shield for grounding purposes without removing an area of insulation between terminated shield and exposed conductors. Tool does not require heated blade and is capable of removing small portions of material at a time, to any depth.
Device accurately measures cut-through load within specified time or time when cut-through occurs at specific load. Tests are performed at ambient conditions or in an environmental chamber.
Testing electrical, mechanical, and handling properties and environmental characteristics of small gage electrical wire for interplanetary spacecraft
Technique of covering fire-hazardous sections of electrical wiring with fireproof materials prevents fires from spreading in oxygen-enriched atmospheres and eliminates use of heavy metal enclosures. Materials used to cover potting on connectors and ground terminals are made from Teflon-coated Beta cloth and Fluorel, a nonflammable fully-saturated polymer.
Electromagnetic interference in deep-space network receiver is often caused by stray coupling from power lines. These stray signals create potential differences between ground terminals, which leads to excessive noise in receiver circuits. Pair of probes detect and measure noise currents in conductors.

Device provides noise immunity, draws zero standby power, and improves performance where same bus connects several pieces of CMOS equipment.
Report describes characteristics of type of FCC which consists of three AWG No. 12 flat copper conductors laminated between two films of polyethylene terephthalate (Mylar) insulation with self-extinguishing polyester adhesive.
Report presents drawbacks and advantages of FCC for home wiring. Two types of surface-wiring schemes are considered: snap-on baseboard and extendable baseboard. Both types lower installation cost and time.
Report presents procedures and results of test of FCC baseboard system developed for use in commerical and residential applications. Mechanical, electrical, chemical, environmental, thermal, and analytical tests subjected system to conditions of greater severity than would be encountered in normal service; system withstood tests favorably.
Electronic connector adapted from readily available components simplifies electronic packaging and interconnection wiring in assemblies that consist of several identical printed-wiring boards.
Display power and segment data are multiplexed over same coaxial line. Thus, only one wire and return lead are needed, and single power supply at central location can service all remote displays.
