Abstract: A sensor assembly specially adapted for use as a crash sensor for motor vehicle applications. The sensor assembly includes a connector housing assembly and a separate sensor element. The sensor element is formed with a pair of spade type terminals. The sensor element is received by a passageway within the housing assembly which further incorporates receiving terminals connected with electrical pigtail wires. The assembly housing incorporates features for secure mounting of the unit to a vehicle or other device, and provide accurate location when needed for directional sensing. The unit provides a snapfit assembly of the sensor element and includes features for preventing improper assembly of the unit and provides a desired mechanical connection between the sensor element and the associated vehicle.

Abstract: A compression resistant component adapted to be mounted to a surface using a mechanical fastener having a component body with a first surface and a second surface and a fastener passage defined by the component body extending from the first surface to the second surface. At least one elongated compression limiter is embedded in the component body displaced from and substantially parallel to a main longitudinal axis of the fastener passage. The elongated compression limiter if formed of a material having a greater compressive modulus that the material of which the component body is formed. When a fastener exerts a compressive force on the mounting component, the elongated compression limiter bears a portion of the compressive force exerted by the fastener on the component body, thereby allowing the component body to resist the effects of the compressive force.
