摘要： The connector system is configured for use in a power distribution system of a motor vehicle, and wherein the connector system includes a female housing, female terminal assembly, and a female interlock (FIL) assembly. The female housing having an arrangement of side walls that define a receptacle that is configured to receive the female terminal assembly. The female interlock (FIL) assembly positioned within the female terminal assembly that resides within the receptacle of the female housing to define a fully assembled female state SFAF, whereby the FIL assembly is configured to be coupled to an interlock circuit that prevents electrical current from flowing through the female terminal assembly prior to connection of the female terminal assembly to a male terminal assembly.

摘要： An electrical connector includes a housing and a contact having a bellows contact structure. The contact has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped frame body including an upper-surface portion, a lower-surface portion, and a pair of side surface portions facing each other therebetween. At one end of the substantially rectangular parallelepiped frame body in a longitudinal direction, a contact-spring portion for contacting with a mating terminal is provided. At the other end of the substantially rectangular parallelepiped frame body in the longitudinal direction, a fixing portion that is fixed to the housing is provided. The contact has an elastic structure that is included in the substantially rectangular parallelepiped frame body interposed between the contact-spring portion and the fixing portion. The elastic structure of the contact is segmented into the upper-surface portion, the pair of side-surface portions, and the lower-surface portion of the substantially rectangular parallelepiped frame body.

摘要： A connector assembly for connecting together parts to convey movement of a medium, such as electric current. The connector assembly includes first and second connectors for connection to each other. The second connector has a core body with an inner chamber, within which a conveyance device is mounted. A fastener is at least partially supported on the core body. The fastener has an engagement portion moveable between an engaged position and a disengaged position to connect and disconnect the first and second connectors, respectively. A sleeve is disposed over the core body. The sleeve is linearly and angularly moveable to move the engagement portion of the fastener from the engaged position to the disengaged position. An actuator may be mounted to the sleeve and is also operable to move the engagement portion of the fastener from the engaged position to the disengaged position.

摘要： An ROV mateable subsea coupler (30) comprises a housing (31) having a first end and a second end and defining a hollow core. The first end of the housing is adapted to be mounted to a first wet mate connector part (21). The second end (32) of the housing is adapted to receive a second wet mate connector part. The coupler further comprises a lever arm (35) pivotally mounted to the housing, the lever arm comprising a latch (46) adapted to cooperate with a surface of a guide piece (40, 41) of the second connector part (20). The lever arm comprises a resilient member (37, 78), remote from the latch and from the second end (32) of the housing, which biases the lever arm towards a closed position, coaxial with a longitudinal axis (72) of the housing, in which position the latch protrudes through an aperture (66) in the housing.

摘要： A Light Emitting Diode (LED) controller and wiring connector. The LED controller and wiring connector includes a rib and a plurality of first posts that extends from a first end of the rib. The LED controller and wiring connector includes a plurality of second posts. The plurality of second posts extends from a second end of the rib. The second end is opposite of the first end. The plurality of first posts and the plurality of second posts comprise a plurality of trace systems capable of allowing channel and power distribution from the plurality of first posts to the plurality of posts. One or more first posts of the plurality of first posts are cut to connect to a LED controller. Further, one or more second posts of the plurality of second posts are cut to connect to terminal connectors.

摘要： In various embodiments, compact connector designs may be provided that have reduced board pitch (e.g., 1.80 mm, 1.50 mm, 1.27 mm, etc.), but are still capable of accommodating large electrical conductors (e.g., 1.4 mm, 1.1 mm, 0.9 mm, etc.). In this manner, PCB footprint may be reduced (e.g., by 50% when a staggered connector configuration is used), while adequate current carrying capacity may be maintained (e.g., 2 A, 3 A, 4 A, etc.). Additionally, or alternatively, one or more other advantages may be achieved, such as ruggedness (e.g., vibration endurance), error proofing, configuration flexibility, ease of manufacturing, ease of assembly, and/or lowered costs.

摘要： A housing 11 includes a base wall 14, left and right side walls 15 rising from the base wall 14, and an open portion 16 open outward at a position facing the base wall 14. An inner surface of the base wall 14 and inner surfaces of the left and right side walls 15 constitute an inner surface of a cavity 18. A recess 21 is provided in the inner surface of the base wall 14. A resiliently deformable resilient portion 24 is provided to project on the side wall 15. The terminal 60 includes a protrusion 66 to be arranged inside the recess 21 and a surface portion 67 facing the resilient portion 24 from a side opposite to the open portion 16.

摘要： A connector includes a housing with a plurality of electrically conductive terminals therein. Some terminals may include a terminal support projection that engages the housing to maintain the position of a contact section of the terminals relative to the housing. Other terminals may have a tool engaging shoulder configured to be engaged by a tool to force press-fit tails of all of the terminals into a circuit member. The housing may include a locking structure for certain the terminals that permits the terminals to be inserted into the housing with little or no force and then securely lock the terminals in the housing. One or more ground plates may be included for electrically connecting a plurality of the terminals. The ground plates may have resilient tabs that contact at least some of the terminals and the tabs may be thinner than a body portion of the ground plate.
