摘要:
An interface board for use, for example, in a motor vehicle to provide electrical interconnection between a plurality of electrical circuit control elements and a wiring harness. The board comprises a box structure including a plurality of circuit outlets on the upper face of the structure for plug in receipt of the electrical circuit control elements, a plurality of power outlets on a lower face of the structure for plug in receipt of electrical power input and output elements, and a series of electrical paths extending between the power outlets and a circuit control outlets. Each electrical path includes a first conductor extending generally parallel to the first and second faces and second conductors extending generally perpendicular to the first and second faces. The first conductors comprise flat ribbon elements and the second conductors comprise flat ribbon elements connected to the flat sides of the first conductors utilizing clinch joints.

A sealable electrical connector includes a housing having a passage therethrough which is open at both ends. A portion of the length of the passage defines a seal retaining region and includes an undercut edge. The seal retaining region receives an elastomeric seal ring which engages, and is retained by the undercut edge. A grip member which includes projecting electrical contacts is affixed to one end of the housing so as to seal the passage, to further retain the seal ring therein and to support the electrical terminal into the passageway. When a mating connector is inserted into the passageway for contact with the terminal therein, the sealing ring provides a sliding, seal with the mating connector against environmental conditions. Also disclosed is an improved ring seal providing uniform resistance to the insertion of a mating connector. Also disclosed is a sensor assembly including first and second bracket members which coact to mount the sensor in a sensor housing in a first interrelationship in which the sensor axis is generally perpendicular to the mounting plane of the housing or, alternatively, in a second interrelationship in which the sensor axis is generally parallel to the mounting plane.
