An electrical connector receptacle includes a shield cover 26, a terminal unit 28 and a fastener structure 29. The shield cover 26 defines a cavity 30 and an opening into the cavity and has a base panel 26a with a base panel hole 26d formed therethrough. The terminal unit 28 has a first terminal unit mounting block 34 having a first terminal unit mounting block hole 34a, a second terminal unit mounting block 36 having a second terminal unit mounting block hole 36a, a first terminal assembly 38 and a second terminal assembly 40. The first and second terminal unit mounting blocks 34, 36 are connected together in a stacked manner and are disposed in the cavity 30. With the first terminal unit mounting block hole 34a, the second terminal unit mounting block hole 36a and the base panel hole 26d being in registration with one another, the fastener structure 29 extends therethrough from the base panel 26a and projects outwardly from the opening.

A female terminal assembly (10) includes a core terminal part (12) and a generally U-shaped clip part (14). The core terminal part (12) is fabricated from an electrically-conductive material and includes a generally U-shaped channel member (16). The generally-U-shaped channel member (16) defines a generally U-shaped channel (18) extending therethough and an opening into the generally U-shaped channel (18) by a pair of side members (16b, 16c) interconnected together by a base member (16a). The generally U-shaped clip part (14) is fabricated from a stiff yet resilient material and includes a generally U-shaped clip part channel member (22) defining a generally U-shaped clip part channel (24). The generally U-shaped clip part (14) is sized to substantially cover the generally U-shaped channel member (16) and is operative to apply opposing compression forces to generally the pair of side members (16b, 16c) of the U-shaped channel member (16) urging the pair of side members (16b, 16c) towards each other and into the generally U-shaped channel (18).
摘要:
A connector position assurance (CPA) device for assuring the full engagement of a female connector assembly and a male connector assembly in a connector apparatus, and the connector apparatus having the female connector assembly and the male connector assembly engaged together when the CPA device is at a full-lock position. Prior to the CPA device being at a full-lock position, the female connector assembly, with the CPA device at a pre-lock position therein, enters the male connector assembly for engagement thereto. At such time, protruding members of a flexible member of the female connector assembly enter a side elongated slot of the male connector assembly. When the CPA device, at the pre-lock position, is further pushed into the female connector assembly, a set of side ledges extending from the CPA device prevents the flexible member of the female connector assembly from being moved or pushed; thus, with the CPA device at the full-lock position, it is assured that the male and female connector assemblies remain fully engaged.
摘要:
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.

摘要:
Method of operating a connector apparatus having a female connector assembly and a male connector assembly. The female connector assembly includes a female housing, a connector position assurance (CPA) member for assuring the engagement of the male connector assembly with the female connector assembly, and a first terminal position assurance (TPA) member for assuring that terminals for the female connector assembly are positioned properly. The female housing further includes a connector latch used to securely hold together a connector apparatus. The female housing has TPA protection ribs and CPA protection walls. The male housing has TPA protection ribs.
摘要:
Terminal position assurance (TPA) member used in a connector, to make sure that a terminal is positioned properly. The TPA member has at least one locating/guide feature to provide proper guidance and to avoid an imbalance during engagement with a connector housing, and has at least one flexible feature to help retain the TPA member in a preset position and/or a final lock position.
