Connector position assurance device, connector system and method for operating the connector system
10855025 · 2020-12-01 · ·

A connector position assurance device having multiple features for assuring a full coupling and locking of a female housing with a male housing in a connector system, such that the female housing and male housing are placed into a fully coupled and locked position when the connector position assurance device is moved from a pre-lock position to a full-lock position. When the connector position assurance device is at a full-lock position, a first member on the connector position assurance penetrates a window formed on the female housing, and at least one ledge extending from the connector position assurance device prevents a flexible member of the female housing from being moved downward, providing assurance that the female and male housings are fully coupled and locked together.

Electrical connector

An electrical connector includes a plug that mates with a receptacle. In a medical application, the plug is connected to electrical leads that pass through a patient's skin to an implanted medical device in the patient's body, while the receptacle is connected to external medical equipment. The plug is small in diameter so the size of the opening in the patient's skin can be minimized. All electrical contacts in the plug are on internal portions. The receptacle includes annular contacts that contact the internal electrical contacts on the plug when the plug and receptacle are properly mated. When the plug is plugged into the receptacle, spring-loaded retention arms in the receptacle lock into place on the plug, retaining the plug in the receptacle.

Receptacle connector for charging inlet assembly

A receptacle connector for a charging inlet assembly includes a housing and a terminal assembly coupled to the housing including cap extending from a pin. The pin is positioned in a terminal channel of the housing for mating with a charging connector. The pin has a rear flange and a rear mounting post with a base of the cap coupled thereto. A pad extends from the base configured to be coupled to a power cable. The receptacle connector includes a secondary lock assembly having a locking wall engaging and blocking rearward movement of the rear flange of the pin in a locked position. The locking wall is disengaged from the rear flange of the pin in an unlocked position.

Electrical connector with stability assurance for internal shielding plate and the attachment of an external electrical component

An electrical connector is used to electrically connect a first component and a second component. The electrical connector includes: an insulating block; multiple terminals provided to form two rows including an upper row and a lower row; and a shielding sheet, fixed to the insulating block and located between the two rows of the terminals. Each terminal has a connecting portion fixed in the insulating block, a first conduction portion extending forward from the horizontal section to be electrically connected to the first component, and a second conduction portion extending backward from the horizontal section. The second conduction portion has a bending portion, and the bending portion is connected to the horizontal section. A rear end of the shielding sheet has an abutting portion to abut the second component. The abutting portion extends backward out of an insulating body and does not pass beyond the bending portion.

Electrical connector with latches and terminal position assurance projections provided on hinged cover

An electrical connector having electrical terminals and a housing. The housing has a terminal-receiving portion with terminal-receiving cavities for receiving the electrical terminals therein. At least one latch-receiving slot is positioned between adjacent terminal-receiving cavities. A cover portion is provided for covering the terminal-receiving cavities and the terminals. The cover portion has latches which cooperate with the at least one latch-receiving slot when the cover portion is moved to a closed position. A hinge portion connects the terminal-receiving portion to the cover portion. The hinge is deformable to allow the cover portion to move between an open position in which the terminals can be inserted and removed from the terminal-receiving cavities of the terminal-receiving portion and the closed position in which the terminals are secured in the terminal-receiving cavities of the terminal-receiving portion.

Plug connector

A plug connector includes a plug housing having a mating end at a front of the plug housing for mating with a mating connector. The plug housing has an upper wall, an end wall extending from the upper wall, and side walls extending from the upper wall. The plug housing has a mating chamber defined by the upper wall, the end wall and the side walls. The mating chamber is open at the front. The end wall is opposite the front at a rear of the mating chamber. The plug connector includes a circuit card held by the plug housing. The circuit card extends into the mating chamber for mating with the mating connector. The circuit card has plug contacts. The plug connector includes a mating spring coupled to the end wall. The mating spring has a spring arm extending into the mating chamber. The spring arm has a mating interface configured to engage a mating end of the mating connector to bias the end wall away from the mating end of the mating connector.
