Electrical connections on vehicles may need to be easily disconnected for replacement of components. One such type is the bullet connector, shown in Fig. 12.22(g), where the ends are soldered or crimped to the wire and then pushed firmly into the insulated connector. Quick-connect types as shown in Fig. 12.22(h), usually crimped to the wire, are pushed together to form the connection. An insulating sleeve can then be pushed over the completed connection. 

Most regulators are equipped with a relief valve, one or two outlet ports and I an inlet port. The inlet port of a hydrogen cylinder regulator has to have a CGA 350 valve connector which consists of a bullet shaped nipple and a nut. The. outlet fitting on the regulator can vary and can be changed and/or adaptors... 

LCP fibres are used for making heavy-duty ropes and belts and also as the reinforcing fibres of composite materials. An important application of Kevlar is in the fabrication of bullet-proof clothing. The easy mouldability, good mould filling and low thermal expansion of thermotropic LCPs, combined with their resistance to solvents and their stability at temperatures up to 120 °C or higher make them suitable for precision mouldings for use in a variety of components such as electrical connectors.
