A terminal 20 for use in connecting a battery cable 9 to a rectangular blade 4 on a battery 2 includes a terminal body 22 and a spring member or multiple contact band 70. The spring member 70 is fabricated from a material that is more elastic than the terminal body 22 to reduce mating force, but still generate sufficient normal force to provide a good connection to the rectangular blade 4. The multiple contact spring band 70 has a plurality of spring beams in the form of twisted louvered spring beams 78 or curved spring beams 80. The spring member 70 is positioned within a receptacle section 30 of the terminal body 22 that includes two parallel walls 32, 46. The terminal body 22 also includes a wire termination section for attaching the terminal 20 to a battery cable 8. Inline and right angle versions of the terminals employ similar spring members 70.

An electrical connector assembly is shown having a housing member with a lever assist which rotatably draws complimentary connectors together. The lever assist is attached by way of mounting studs to a shroud on each side of the sidewall of the connector housing where the lever arms are positioned within the shroud to protect the lever arms and the gear teeth on the free ends of the lever arms.

An electrical connector is shown having a housing having terminal receiving passageways, which receives a plurality of electrical terminals therein. The connector housing has a rear wire seal having a plurality of apertures at a rear face thereof for receiving terminals and a terminated conductor therethrough. At least one of the plurality of electrical terminal passageways is empty, and the sealing plug is positioned in the terminal receiving passageway to seal the cavity from the rear side thereof. The sealing plug also includes a latching surface for latching with the latch of the housing, and further provides a forward portion to deflect an installed shunt downwardly to prevent stubbing of a pin contact of a mating connector.

A lever mated connector assembly including a housing configured to mate with a header, a wire guide mounted to the housing having a latch with a retaining surface, a lever having a catch with a retaining surface and being coupled to the housing for rotational movement between an unlocked position and a locked position wherein the catch retaining surface engages the latch retaining surface to inhibit movement of the lever out of the locked position. The wire guide is provided with an overstress mechanism to prevent over extension of the latch to a position where the latch is plastically deformed.

摘要:
In electrical connector assemblies 2, 102 comprising mating receptacle and plug connectors, a force is generated during mating which urges the receptacle and plug connectors away from an intermediate, partially mated position in which arcing might occur between terminals in the mating connectors. This force can be generated when an inertial protrusion 24 on receptacle connector 10 engages an inertial protrusion 56 on a plug connector 50. This force can also be generated when movement of an over-center lever 170 results in deformation of a cantilever beam 120 when a receptacle connector 110 is mated to a plug connector 150. These connector assemblies 2, 102 can be used to limit damage to mating terminals in a 42 volt automotive electrical connector system.

An electrical connector includes housing having a mating face that is configured to be mounted onto an electrical connector interface. A latch assembly is provided on a side wall of the housing. The latch assembly is oriented to extend along the side wall. The latch assembly has a latch element formed on an end thereof proximate the mating face, and includes mounting brackets separated from one another along a length of the latch assembly. The mounting brackets join the latch assembly to the side wall. The latch assembly has a portion between the mounting brackets that is deflectable toward the side wall.
