    摘要: An electrical terminal for coupling to a conductive structure includes a body having a wire receiving portion for receiving a conductor. A cup portion is electrically coupled with the wire receiving portion and a boss portion extends from the cup portion. An overmold structure of insulation material is formed on the cup portion and covers the cup portion sides. An aperture is formed in the body and extends through the cup portion and the boss portion for receiving a post of the conductive structure for securing the terminal to the conductive structure. A fastener is configured for engaging a post and securing the boss portion against the conductive structure. The boss portion is configured to surround the aperture for providing an electrically conductive surface free from insulation material for interfacing with the conductive structure. The fastener and post are contained in the cup portion and an insulative cap is configured for engaging the overmold structure and sealing the cup structure around the fastener and post of a conductive structure.

    摘要: An electrical connector assembly for use with conductors includes a pin assembly with a pin and a socket assembly to mate with the pin assembly. The socket assembly includes a socket body configured to receive the pin. A finger collar surrounds the socket body, and a locking collar surrounds and is rotatable on the finger collar. The locking collar moves between an unlocked position and a locked position. The finger collar includes one or more flexible fingers configured to flex to engage the pin assembly when it is mated with the socket assembly. The locking collar includes one or more windows that are in alignment with respective flexible fingers so the flexible fingers lex through the locking collar to engage the pin assembly and flex and grasp the pin assembly. The locking collar is further rotatable to the locked position that moves the windows out of alignment with the respective flexible fingers and prevents further flexing of the flexible fingers away from the pin assembly to lock the socket assembly in engagement with the pin assembly.

    摘要: An electrical connector system includes a connector with a plug. A shroud extends over a portion of the plug and is coupled with the plug. A conductive socket is configured for receiving the plug of the connector. The socket includes a groove formed on an outer surface thereof. The shroud includes spring fingers having a lock portion thereon configured for engaging the groove for securing the connector in the socket. A collar is slidably mounted on the conductive socket and is configured for sliding between a locked position proximate to the socket groove and an unlocked position. The collar is further configured for engaging the spring fingers of the connector shroud in the locked position to hold the finger lock portions engaged with the groove to lock the connector in the socket.
