Abstract: A connector assembly can include a housing, a terminal retainer, and a terminal position assurance member. The terminal retainer can be removably coupled with the housing and define a primary retaining lock for an electrical contact assembly. The terminal retainer can cooperate with the housing to form a compartment that can receive the electrical contact assembly. The compartment can extend along a mating axis of the housing, with a first frontal opening and a rear opening spaced from one another along the mating axis. A portion of the first frontal opening can be elastically deformable such that a size of the first frontal opening is variable. The terminal position assurance member can be removably coupled with the housing to define a secondary retaining lock for the electrical contact assembly. The terminal position assurance member can be positioned to inhibit elastic deformation of the portion of the first frontal opening.

Abstract translation: 连接器组件可以包括壳体，端子保持器和端子位置保证构件。 端子保持器可以与壳体可拆卸地联接并且限定用于电接触组件的主保持锁。 端子保持器可以与壳体配合以形成可以容纳电接触组件的隔间。 隔间可以沿着壳体的配合轴线延伸，其中第一正面开口和后开口沿配合轴线彼此间隔开。 第一正面开口的一部分可以是可弹性变形的，使得第一正面开口的尺寸是可变的。 终端位置保证构件可以与壳体可拆卸地联接以限定用于电接触组件的辅助保持锁。 端子位置保证构件可以被定位成阻止第一正面开口的该部分的弹性变形。

Abstract: A convoluted tube for enclosing a wire harness can include a tubular body portion extending in a longitudinal direction. The tubular body portion can define a slit that extends in the longitudinal direction and that separates first and second contact surfaces of the tubular body portion. The convoluted tube can also include a conductive ink coupled to at least one of the first and second contact surfaces. The conductive ink can be configured to generate heat when an appropriate magnetic field is applied. The first contact surface can be configured to fuse with the second contact surface upon application of the appropriate magnetic field to the conductive ink such that the wire harness enclosed within the interior of the tubular body portion does not extend through the slit.
