Abstract:
An electrical connector is disclosed having a first connector member, a second connector member, and a connector position assurance element. The first connector member has a stop surface with flanking projections. The second connector member is complimentary to the first connector member and has a stop element with a second raised portion. The connector position assurance element is slidably mountable on the first connector member and has a first engagement portion and a second engagement portion. The first engagement portion engages the flanking projections when the first connector member is completely mated to the second connector member in a final mating position. The second engagement portion is spaced a distance from the first engagement portion in a longitudinal direction of the connector position assurance element, and is engaged with the second raised portion when the first connector member is mated to the second connector member in the final mating position.
Abstract:
An electrical connector comprises a first connector, a second connector matable with the first connector, an elastic clip mounted on the first connector and movable between an engagement position and a disengagement position, and a safety locking member slidably mounted on the first connector and movable between a pre-locking position and a locking position. The elastic clip is coupled to the second connector in the engagement position to keep the second connector mated with the first connector. The elastic clip enables decoupling of the first connector and the second connector in the disengagement position. The safety locking member contacts the elastic clip in the locking position and prevents movement of the elastic clip from the engagement position toward the disengagement position.
Abstract:
An electrical connector comprises a contact-carrying body having a plurality of electrical terminals, a slide member slidably mounted within the contact-carrying body and having a rack, an upper body mounted to the contact-carrying body, and a lever pivotally mounted on the upper body. The lever has a toothed wheel engaging the rack; movement of the lever between an inoperative position and an operative position moves the slide member between a retracted position and an advanced position. The lever has arms and a handle. Each arm of the lever has a telescoping structure including a first arm portion and a second arm portion slidably mounted to the first arm portion and connected to the handle. A movable portion including the second arm portion of each arm and the handle is movable with respect to each of the first arm portions between an elongated lever position and a shortened lever position.
Abstract:
A connector for connecting to a magnetic coil wound onto a support is disclosed. The connector comprises a first resilient body formed of a conductive material and having a plurality of cutters disposed on a plurality of inner walls of the first resilient body. The first resilient body is inserted onto the support and held in an open position during insertion. The first resilient body is biased into a closed position. In the closed position, the plurality of cutters cut an insulating layer on the magnetic coil and the first resilient body retains the magnetic coil on the support while electrically connecting the magnetic coil and the support.
