ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING CONNECTOR
An electrical connector includes a plurality of cylindrical electrical terminals connected to ends of a plurality of first electrical cables, a housing defining a plurality of housing terminal cavities in which the plurality of cylindrical electrical terminals is disposed, and a cover attached to the housing having a plurality of cover cavities that is axially aligned with the plurality of housing terminal cavities. The plurality of cover cavities is configured to receive the plurality of cylindrical electrical terminals as it is inserted within the plurality of housing terminal cavities.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS INCLUDING GLASS SEALS AND METHODS OF FABRICATION
An electrical connector comprises an outer shell, at least one pin, and an insulating seal. The outer shell includes at least one side wall defining a cavity and having an inner surface. The outer shell is formed from electrically conductive material. The pin is positioned within the cavity and is also formed from electrically conductive material. The insulating seal is configured to provide electrical isolation of the pin and fills the cavity between the inner surface of the side wall and the pin. The insulating seal is formed from glass doped with a transition metal oxide.
Protective Apparatus for Electrical Plug Connections
A protective insert fits between a plug and a power outlet or another plug and is designed to undergo elastic deformation when pressed between a plug and a power outlet, or between a male plug and a female plug, filling the space between the plug and the power outlet, or between the plugs. As a result, open pockets or pathways between the plugs or the plug and the power outlet that would allow for the entry of moisture are avoided, being filled by the insert. The insert has a body made of a suitably soft material to undergo elastic deformation between a plug and a power outlet or another plug, and two or three apertures with placement and size to allow the insert to fit around the prongs on the face of a plug.
DEVICE CONNECTOR
A device connector (10) is mounted into a mounting hole (C1) on a case (C) of a device in a vehicle, and includes terminals (50) connected to wires (W). A synthetic resin housing (30) includes a wire introducing portion (32) and a fitting portion (31). The wire introducing portion (32) receives the wires (W) and the terminals (50) while the fitting portion (31) fits into the mounting hole (C1). A metal shield shell (60) accommodates the wire introducing portion (32) and includes a lower shell (62) for covering the entire outer circumferential surface of the wire introducing portion (32). A seal ring (72) fits on an outer surface of the wire introducing portion (32) and seals between the lower shell (62) and the wire introducing portion (32). Water drainage holes (77) vertically penetrate a stepped portion (69) of the lower shell (62) above the seal ring (72).
ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS
Electrical connectors used to ground and/or electrically bond objects such as panels having metal outer and inner walls. The electrical connectors use male and female posts having associated washers that facilitate the flow of electric current between the outer and inner walls while providing a watertight seal.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR
An electrical connector includes: an insulative housing comprising a base portion defining a rearward surface and a tongue portion extending forwardly from the base portion; plural conductive terminals affixed to the insulative housing and each having a contacting portion exposed to the top and bottom surfaces of the tongue portion, a fixing portion embedded in the base portion, and a soldering portion extending backwardly out of the base portion; a shielding plate affixed to the insulative housing; a shielding shell covering the insulative housing and defining a sol space with the rearward surface of the base portion; and a waterproof sheet; wherein the base portion further comprises a stepped portion in the sol space, the waterproof sheet is formed by solidification of liquid insulative material flowing from the stepped portion to the rearward surface, and the waterproof sheet encloses the stepped portion.
HERMETICALLY SEALED ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY
The interposer can include a substrate and first and second electrical connectors mounted to the substrate. The first electrical connector is configured to mate with a hard disk drive subassembly, and the second electrical connector is configured to mate with a flat flex circuit subassembly. The hard disk drive subassembly includes a hard disk drive case, a printed circuit board, and a third electrical connector mounted to the printed circuit board. The first and third electrical connectors are configured to mate with each other through the hard disk drive case so as to mate the interposer to the hard disk drive subassembly. The hard disk drive case can be hermetically sealed to the substrate of the interposer to prevent gas leakage
Pyrotechnic Connector
A pyrotechnic electrical connector comprises a housing and a connector position assurance device. The housing is configured for plugging in and locking to a mating connector. The housing receives a plurality of electrical terminals to be connected to a plurality of mating electrical terminals of the mating connector. The connector position assurance device is insertable in the housing in an insertion direction to a delivery position and a locking position. The locking position maintains locking of the housing to the mating connector when the housing is plugged in and locked to the mating connector. Insertion of the connector position assurance device is blocked at the delivery position and prevented from reaching the locking position if the housing is not plugged in or locked to the mating connector.
Water-Resistant Electronic Component
A water-resistant electronic component including a body, a protectable part, a sealing sheet, and a cover. The body includes a water-resisting wall of loop shape. The water-resisting wall extends in a first direction. The protectable part includes at least part of a functional part of the water-resistant electronic component and is located within the water-resisting wall of the body. The sealing sheet includes a perimeter portion. The sealing sheet covers the protectable part from one side in the first direction, with the perimeter portion abutting the water-resisting wall from the one side in the first direction. The cover is fixed to the body such as to cover the sealing sheet and the water-resisting wall from the one side in the first direction.
Sealed electrical plug with temperature sensors
A sealed electrical plug comprises at least one temperature sensor for monitoring an internal temperature of the electrical plug. The electrical plug further comprises a data cable that is wrapped by a shield for screening electrical noise so as to accurately capture and convey temperature data. The electrical plug further comprises a housing or holder for receiving the at least one temperature sensor, wherein the housing is capable of being embedded within an inner-mold of the electrical plug and positioned close to at least one pin. One or more seals may be placed at junctions between the at least one pin and the inner-mold and a cable for the data cable to seal the inner-mold from air, moisture and particles.
