Abstract: A rattle-free peripheral interface between a housing and a top latched thereto including at least generally vertically extending, integral, resilient members which are resiliently deformed when the top is latched to the cover, with the integral resilient members providing the sole contact between the opposed peripheries of the top and of the housing. A first form of resilient member includes a pair of oppositely extending, diagonal legs extending down from the top and terminating in feet which resiliently contact rigid shelves or facing areas on the opposed housing (FIG. 4), the housing having a castellated, interdigitated interface with the resilient member. A second form of resilient member includes a vertically extended, thin member on the underside of the top, which is resiliently deformed and in contact with an opposed rigid shelf when the top is latched onto the housing (FIGS. 5A and 5B). A pair of opposed, pivoting latching arms are integrally provided at opposite ends of the top, with each having a fixed restraint limiting the outward movement of the top of the arm, preventing overstressing of the latching system including the integral junction between the arm and the top. With the contact between the top and housing being limited to the resilient members, the balance of their opposed peripheries being generally out of contact, the top has a relatively rattle-free interface with the housing avoiding the need for, for example, a foam gasket.

Abstract: An electrical receptacle terminal comprising a frame, and a leaf spring. The frame has a receptacle section for a male terminal. The receptacle section has a general shell configuration with one side of the shell having a seam therein. The seam is located to section the side of the receptacle section into two cantilevered side sections with each side section being cantilevered from an opposite wall of the receptacle section parallel to the seam. The leaf spring is movably captured within the receptacle. The leaf spring is biased against the shell of the receptacle section with opposite ends of the leaf spring contacting the side of the shell. The leaf spring has two pairs of support surfaces. One pair of the support surfaces is located at each of the opposite ends of the leaf spring. One support surface of each pair of support surfaces contacts a corresponding one of the cantilevered side sections adjacent the wall of the receptacle section from which the side section cantilevers so that when the male terminal is inserted into the receptacle section, the leaf spring is urged against the shell without substantially spreading the seam.

Abstract: A sealing member of the present invention is used in an automotive vehicle electrical connector assembly and has a pentagonal cross sectional shape thereto with an inside surface defining an aperture centrally therein. A first electrical connector half has an electrical contact proximate therewith and is surrounded by a support structure. A second electrical connector half has an electrical contact proximate therewith and has a body segment and a mating segment within which extends an outer peripheral wall. Furthermore, the second connector half outer peripheral wall has an outside surface and an inside surface which are joined by a peripheral edge therearound. The sealing member is juxtapositioned between the inside surface of the second connector half and the outside surface of the first connector half supporting structure.

Abstract: A subminiature terminal (10; FIGS. 5 and 6A & 6B) for mechanically holding and electrically interconnecting a wedge-base bulb (1; FIGS. 1 & 2) into a circuit in, for example, an automotive application, in which the electrical and mechanical retention forces balance out, in a preferred manner (FIGS. 4 & 4A), preventing undesired rotation (tilting) of the bulb held between opposed terminal pairs seated in a connector system (not illustrated). The terminal includes conductor and insulation grips (11), a body or base (12) (the structural part), a mechanical retention spring (13), and an electrical contact spring (14). The mechanical retention spring is a leaf spring clamped at the rear and dimensioned to hold the bulb at its detent; while the electrical contact spring is a torsion spring on the opposite side approximately a one half winding (14A) formed between two lever arms, one lever arm (14B) clamped at the front of the terminal, while the other one (14C) is essentially free to deflect, as required by the wedge-base (3) of the bulb (1) to ensure electrical contact independent of filament wire deformation or its history. The free arm is smooth along its length and in particular in its contact surfaces with its respective filament wire.

Abstract: A subminiature electrical connector for use particularly in the automotive industry including an insulating plastic body (3) housing an exemplary three terminal pins (1A-C), which are initially locked into place by resilient internal fingers (6) having outwardly directed locking tabs (6A), which are lockingly engaged into inner openings (19) in the terminal pins. After the terminal pins have been inserted and seated, a resilient, exteriorly applied radial locking ring (4) is applied about the body, laterally straddling it, providing a second, double lock for the terminal pins. The locking rings include three, inwardly directed, radial tabs (42A-C) which extend through external body openings (3A) and which lockingly extend into outer, mating openings (18) in the terminal pins. The radial finger tabs and the radial ring tabs are oppositely positioned and conjunctively provide a double lock on each of the pins seated within the connector body. Circumferentially extending guide rails (11) properly longitudinally locate the radial lock on the exterior of the body. The body (16) of the terminal pin in its central, mechanical load bearing area (16) is preferably rectangular in its lateral cross-section, with the outer and inner, female locking openings (18, 19) and mating male tabs (42, 6A) having appropriate geometry with direct, positive, straight edge, face-to-face, orthogonal, locking interfacing with the front edges of the windows.
