An incline section is formed on the upper surface of the support base, said incline section having a height difference in an intersecting direction that intersects a plane including the protrusion direction and the line-up direction of the plurality of male terminals.

A shielded electrical connector system for electrically and mechanically connecting a component to a power source is disclosed. The connector system includes a male connector assembly with a male terminal, a non-conductive internal male housing that receives the male terminal, and a conductive external male housing that receives an extent of the internal male housing. This terminal includes a receiver and side walls with a contact arm that extends across an aperture in the side wall. An internal spring member with at least one spring arm resides within the male terminal receiver. A female connector assembly includes a female terminal with a receptacle that receives both the male terminal and the spring member. A non-conductive internal female housing receives the female terminal and an extent of the male connector assembly. A conductive external female housing that receives: (i) an extent of the internal female housing, (ii) an extent of the internal male housing, and (iii) an extent of the external male housing.

The present disclosure provides an electrical connector, and electrical mating connector, and an electrical mating connector. The electrical connector comprises a housing and a terminal member. The terminal member is disposed in the housing. The terminal member comprises a first terminal and a second terminal opposite to the first terminal. The first terminal comprises a first bump part and a first notch part, and the first bump part is disposed on one side of the first notch part. The second terminal comprises a second bump part and a second notch part, and the second bump part is disposed on one side of the second notch part. The first bump part is opposite to the second notch part, and the second bump is opposite to the first notch part. The electrical connector is plugged into the electrical mating connector to form an electrical connector assembly.

An electrical plug includes a support body, a pair of electrical contacts of elongated shape having respective longitudinal axes arranged coplanar on a common lying plane, and connecting members adapted to allow a mutual movement between said electrical contacts and the support body. The connecting members include a first rocker hinged to the support body according to a first hinging axis perpendicular to the lying plane, and a second rocker hinged to the support body according to a second hinging axis parallel and spaced with respect to the first hinging axis, each electrical contact being fixed overhanging a respective of the first and second rockers.

An electrical connector system for electrically and mechanically connecting with a component in a motor vehicle is disclosed. The connector system includes a motor vehicle component and a male connector assembly with a male housing that receives a male terminal. This terminal includes a receiver and side walls with a contact arm that extends across an aperture in the side wall. An internal spring member with at least one spring arm resides within the male terminal receiver. A female connector assembly includes a female terminal with a receptacle that receives both the male terminal and the spring member. A female housing receives the female terminal and an extent of the male connector assembly. When the connector system moves from the partially assembled state to a connected position for connection of the vehicle component, the male connector assembly is inserted into female housing, the contact arm is brought into sliding engagement with an angled internal segment of the female housing, and the contact arm is inwardly displaced as the contact arm slidingly engages with the angled internal segment.

A power distribution system includes a track having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a longitudinal axis extending through the first and second ends. The track defines a channel extending along the longitudinal axis. A plurality of power cables is positioned within the channel. The power distribution system further includes an electrical hub having a body coupled to the second end of the track. A plurality of wafers is supported by the body and stacked on top of each other to define a set of terminals. The set of terminals is electrically connected to the plurality of power cables. A power receptacle is supported by the body and electrically connected to the plurality of wafers.
