摘要:
A connector assembly (2) comprises a primary housing (14) and a secondary locking housing (16) opposed of a stationary member (22) and a slidable locking member (28). The stationary member (22) is securely lockable by latch members (24,26) to the primary housing (14). The stationary member (22) has a shoulder (52) for resiliently compressing a seal member (40). The stationary member (22) further comprises anti-chattering protrusions (54) mounted on integrally moulded resilient beams (56). The anti-chattering protrusions (54) abut a mating surface (64) of the complementary connector (4) when coupled thereto. The resiliency of the anti-chattering beams (56), further enhanced by the resiliency of the compressed seal (40) eliminates play between the coupled connectors (2,4) thereby reducing chattering therebetween when subject to vibration.
摘要:
An electrical receptacle contact (2) for engaging a complementary tab terminal (not shown) comprising a contact portion (4) and a conductor engaging portion (6), where the contact portion (4) includes a body portion (10) and at least three contact arms (12,14) including a pair of spaced-apart outer contact arms (12) extending from the body (10) with an inner contact arm (14) extending therebetween and the contact arms (12,14) have contact surfaces thereupon for engaging a common side of the tab terminal, the receptacle contact (2) being characterized in that the inner contact arm (14) is supported therealong independently of the adjacent outer arm (12) by a transverse support rail (34) to provide the inner contact (14) with enhanced stiffness. The contact being of simple construction, with multiple connection points established essentially independently, where the inner contact arms are independently stiffened.
摘要:
An electrical receptacle terminal (2) comprises an inner contact (4) and an outer backup spring (6) disposed closely therearound. The outer backup spring has a pair of opposed spring members (54) disposed over cantilever contact arms (14) of the inner contact (4). The spring members (54) comprise a first spring arm (56) and lateral second spring-support arms (62) disposed substantially orthogonally thereto. The first and second spring arms are joined at a front end (64) by an L-shaped joining section (66), and separated by a slot (68) extending from the joining section (66) to a body section (42) of the backup spring. The second arms (62) of the spring member (54), substantially increase the spring force of the first spring arm (54) against which the inner contact arms (14) are biased during insertion of a complementary male tab therebetween. The spring force of the inner contact arms (14) are further increased by providing a U-shaped tab (70) folded over free end tips (22) of the contact arms to limit sliding movement thereof. The joining section (66) at the front end of the backup spring is aligned with the box-shaped body section (42) and reduces rocking of the terminal when inserted into a corresponding cavity of a connector housing. Furthermore, the inner contact body is well protected from external objects.
