    摘要: A connector includes a first housing and a mate assist slider. The first housing has a means for mating with a second housing, the second housing including a pin. The mate assist slider is moveable from an unmated position to a mated position, the mate assist slider slidably mounted to the first housing, the mate assist slider having a means for rotating a cam gear movably mounted to the first housing, the cam gear having a means for retaining the pin of the second housing, wherein the cam gear includes a means for providing a vibratory feedback to an assembler when the pin is initially retained, thereby enabling the mate assist slider to be moved from the unmated position to the mated position.

    摘要: An electrical connector (10) includes a housing (12) that is configured to receive a planar first substrate (18) having an electrically conductive first circuit trace with a first contact region (22), such a flat cable (18). The housing (12) is further configured to receive a planar second substrate (28) having an electrically conductive second circuit trace (30) with a second contact region (32), such as a printed circuit board or another flat cable (18). The housing (12) is configured to align the first contact region (22) with the second contact region (32). The connector (10) also includes a force application device (14) configured to apply a compressive contact force (50) to the first and second substrates (18, 28), thereby putting the first contact region (22) in intimate compressive contact with the second contact region (32). The connector (10) may also include an moveable actuating member (40) that is configured to selectively increase the compressive contact force (50) applied to the first and second substrates (18, 28) via interaction with the force application device (14).

    摘要: A connector assembly (100) includes a conductor retainer (110) that is configured to relieve retain a conductor (102) within a connector body (108) of the connector assembly (100). The conductor retainer (110) causes the conductor (102) to helically twist at least 90 degrees about a longitudinal axis. A helical channel (112) may be defined in the conductor retainer (110) to cause the conductor (102) to helically twist. Multiple conductors (102) may be terminated within the connector assembly (100) and the conductor retainer (110) may define multiple helical channels (112). Some of the helical channels (112) may have a right hand helical twist while others have a left hand helical twist. A method (200) of manufacturing a connector assembly (100) with these features is also presented.

    摘要: A connector assembly includes a connector body, a corresponding mating connector body, and a connection position assurance (CPA) device. The connector body includes a deflectable latching member and at least one outer detent feature located on an outer surface of the connector body. The corresponding mating connector body is configured to be removably connected with the connector body, wherein the deflectable latching member is configured to secure the connector body to the corresponding mating connector body. The CPA device is slidably positioned adjacent the connector body and moveable from a pre-stage position to a full-stage position, wherein the CPA device interacts with the at least one outer detent feature located on the outer surface of the connector body to deflect the connector body towards the corresponding mating connector body.
