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 connector includes a housing, a first sandwich structure, and a support structure. The housing includes two accommodating cavities vertically adjacent to each other, where each accommodating cavity is used for receiving a docking connector. The first sandwich structure is disposed between the two accommodating cavities. The support structure penetrates two side walls of the housing and two side walls of the first sandwich structure to fix the first sandwich structure on the housing.

The present invention discloses a high-speed signal terminal, a differential signal terminal pair and a high-speed connector assembly. The high-speed signal terminal comprises: a body portion, a U-shaped fork end, and a tail end. The differential signal terminal pair comprises a first differential signal terminal pair and a second differential signal terminal pair engaged in a criss-crossed manner, and the first differential signal terminal pair comprises two first high-speed signal terminals, and the second differential signal terminal pair comprises two second high-speed signal terminals. The high-speed connector assembly of the present invention adopts the differential signal terminal pair via a criss-crossed engaging type so that the high-speed connector assembly can be applied in a high-density and high-speed transmission environment and meet high-density and high-speed signal transmission requirement.

A terminal fitting includes a body portion, a first projection, a resilient contact portion and a first fulcrum portion. The body portion is in the form of a rectangular tube open in a front-rear direction. The first projection projects from one wall part toward another wall part, out of two wall parts of the body portion adjacent across one corner. The resilient contact portion is arranged in the body portion. The first fulcrum portion serves as a fulcrum when the resilient contact portion is deflected and deformed. In a developed state of the terminal fitting along the front-rear direction and a width direction, one side end of the resilient contact portion is arranged on one side end part in the width direction. A tip of the first projection is arranged on another side end part in the width direction.

Novel techniques are described for discharging high voltage components. For example, a tool is provided to discharge high-voltage capacitors in electrical appliances prior to servicing those appliances. The tool can include a handle structure electrically and physically isolated from a head structure by an elongated body. The elongated body can house at least a portion of a discharge circuit configured to discharge high-voltage components and to indicate (visually, audibly, etc.) whether voltage is present on components being discharged. The head structure can include multiple probes adapted to electrically couple the tool with the high-voltage components and through which to discharge the components.

An electrical connector assembly for electrically and mechanically connecting a component to a power source is disclosed. The connector assembly includes a male terminal with side walls defining a receiver. The side wall includes a contact arm that extends across an aperture in the side wall. The assembly also includes an internal spring member dimensioned to reside within the receiver of the male terminal. The spring member has at least one spring arm that extends from a base portion. The assembly further includes a female terminal with a receptacle dimensioned to receive both the male terminal and the spring member residing within the receiver of the male connector to define a connected position. In the connected position, the spring arm exerts an outwardly directed biasing force on the contact arm of the male terminal to outwardly displace it into engagement with an inner surface of the receptacle to ensure connectivity.
