Abstract:
A connector arrangement for a fluid system includes a fuel injector that defines a first fluid passage having a connector, a pipe that is engageable with the connector of the first fluid passage, preferably to form a high pressure seal, and a nut arranged to connect the pipe to the connector of the first fluid passage. A chamber is defined between the nut and the fuel injector, such chamber serving to collect leaked fluid from the first fluid passage. The fuel injector is provided with a second fluid passage having a first end in communication with the chamber and a second end in communication with a low pressure drain such that leaked fuel is provided with a drain path.
Abstract:
A power plug comprising a housing with a plurality of receptacles and extending along a receptacle axis parallel to the mating direction. Each receptacle has a central part and a front part with an opening to receive a male terminal of the complementary electrical socket. The power plug comprises a plurality of female terminals passing through the housing in parallel to the mating direction. Each female terminal includes a central part located in the central part of the receptacle, and a front part projecting from the central part in the mating direction and receiving a male terminal. The receptacle includes a plurality of ribs arranged radially on an inner side of the receptacle and protruding transversely inward. The ribs of the receptacle cooperate with the front part of the corresponding female terminal to center the front part of the corresponding female terminal with respect to the receptacle axis.
Abstract:
A plug assembly is provided for a high-pressure valve of the type with a tubular body extending along a longitudinal axis and in which, under the action of a piloted actuator, a needle moves longitudinally between a closed position and an open position. The plug assembly includes a plug having a flat part able to be fixed onto the body transversally to the longitudinal axis, and a spring intended to apply to the needle a force biasing it axially towards the closed position. The spring is fixed to the plug forming with it an integrated assembly.
Abstract:
The electrical connector assembly includes a first connector having a first housing, a second connector having a second housing, and a cover movably mounted on the housing. The housing of the second connector is movably mounted on the housing of the first connector. A lock that may be actuated is movably mounted on one of the housings. In the initial position of the cover, the cover covers or shields the lock. In the final position of the cover, the cover does not shield the lock.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to squib connectors for instance for airbag ignition systems, which allow the electrical or electronic monitoring of the correct coupling of a squib plug-connector with its corresponding counterpart. According to the invention, a squib connector has at least two terminals having corresponding signal lines. In order to allow an electrical monitoring of the correct coupling of the plug connector, the terminals are in electrical contact with each other in the uncoupled or incorrectly coupled condition of the plug connector. This electrical contact between the terminals is adapted for being separated upon correct coupling to a corresponding counter-connector either automatically or by an actuating action. The disconnecting of the terminals may then be monitored by any suitable monitoring means.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a connector system comprising a plug connector and a retainer configured to be inserted into a corresponding holder. The plug connector comprises a connector housing and a latching arm assigned to the connectorhousing, whereby the plug connector is configured to be mountable with the retainer. The connector system comprises a deflection portion for causing the latching arm to deflect upon mounting of the plug connector with the retainer. The deflection portion is shaped such that the deflection provides increasing resistance against further movement of the plug connector. The connector system further comprises a release portion configured to enable a release deflection of the latching arm. The release portion is shaped so the release deflection does not provide resistance against further movement of the plug connector. Still further, the connector system comprises a latching portion configured to allow the latching arm to lock the plug connector.
Abstract:
The cable junction includes at least two electrical cables extending side by side, each including its own independent shield and a front end section where its independent shield is stripped off, a common shield surrounding the front end sections and the independent shields of the cables, and a clamping device for clamping the common shield on the independent shields. The clamping device includes internal clamping means for clamping the common shield on flanks of the independent shield sheaths.
Abstract:
A mounting arrangement for attaching a pump arrangement to an exhaust pipe at a boss includes a delivery nozzle section and a remaining section including a pump body. The mounting arrangement includes a packing for supporting the pump body at the remaining section of the pump arrangement.
Abstract:
A tubular clip for securing a sleeve to the body of a piezoelectric actuator in an actuator assembly. In use, the wall of the clip has a plurality of corrugations. The pitch of the corrugations is variable in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the clip. The clip is configurable into an unfitted configuration and into a fitted configuration and in the fitted configuration the minimum transverse internal separation of the clip walls is less than in the unfitted configuration.
Abstract:
An electrical connector comprising one or more housings and a carrier adapted to receive the housing(s). The housing comprises a flexible lance adapted to flex to maintain an electrical contact in the receptacle. The carrier comprises a protrusion. When the lance is in its unlock condition, the lance cooperates with the protrusion to prevent the housing from reaching the assembled position with respect to the carrier. When the lance is in its lock condition, the lance does not cooperate with the protrusion.
