Abstract: Electrical term finals and electrical connector assemblies for electrically conductive structures are described. An example electrical terminal has a terminal head and an electrical contact. The electrical contact extends from the terminal head and has a lengthwise axis and a spring finger contact. The spring finger contact is movable relative to the terminal head and has a cantilever portion and a contact portion. The cantilever portion extends away from the terminal head and away from the lengthwise axis of the electrical contact. The contact portion extends from the cantilever portion.

The opening defines an inner surface of the connector housing. A seal is disposed within the opening of the connector housing and includes a first end, a second end, an outer surface, and a slot that extends from the first end of the seal to the second end of the seal. The outer surface of the seal is in sealing engagement with the inner surface of the connector housing, and the slot defines an inner surface of the seal. A flat flexible conductor disposed within the slot of the seal and includes a plurality of electrically conductive traces and an outer surface. The outer surface of the flat flexible conductor is in sealing engagement with the inner surface of the seal.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes an electrically conductive structure having a flat flexible conductor that supports a plurality of electrically conductive traces. A wire contact wedge includes a base having an opening extending therethrough and first and second wedge arms that extend from the base. The electrically conductive structure extends through the opening of the base and between the first and second wedge arms. A connector housing supports the wire contact wedge and the electrically conductive structure. The connector housing includes a body having an abutment surface that engages a corresponding abutment surface of the base of the wire contact wedge. A front cover is supported on the connector housing and includes a retaining arm that cooperates with a corresponding protrusion provided on the wire contact wedge.

Abstract: A method of assembling a terminal assembly includes a terminal and a terminal insert. The terminal insert may be configured to be disposed at least partially in the terminal; the terminal and the terminal insert may be configured to receive at least a portion of a wire; and/or the terminal and the terminal insert may be configured to be crimped to the said wire. The terminal insert may include a first insert wing, a second insert wing a third insert wing, and/or a fourth insert wing. The terminal may include a first wing, a second wing, a third wing, and/or a fourth wing. The first wing of the terminal may be disposed proximate the first wing of the terminal insert and/or the second wing of the terminal may be disposed proximate the second wing of the terminal insert.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a first housing. A second housing is moveable relative to the first housing and includes a travel peg. The electrical connector also includes a lever. The lever includes two lever arms that are joined by a handle. Each of the lever arms is attached to the first housing and allows relative rotational movement of the lever about a lever axis. The lever may be moved from a pre-stage position to a final position. The lever engages the travel peg to move the second housing linearly in an insertion direction from a pre-stage position to a seated position relative to the first housing. The travel peg moves along a peg path when the second housing is moved from the pre-stage position to the seated position. The peg path is located between the lever axis and the handle.
