    摘要: A method for improving clearance and creepage in a male or female high voltage connector assembly using a male terminal position assurance (TPA) device. The high voltage connector assembly is suitable for high voltage electrical terminals. The method includes the steps of allowing a clearance and creepage or electrical path to extend from at least a high voltage electrical terminal to a conductive male outer housing, and or between another terminal using a male or a female TPA device. The TPA device is inserted in the high voltage connector assembly, whereby a clearance and creepage or electrical path extends from the high voltage electrical terminal along at least a surface of the TPA device and to the male outer housing of the high voltage connector assembly or from the high voltage electrical terminal to another high voltage electrical terminal in using the male and or female TPA device.

    摘要: A connector assembly has first and second housings (10, 300). Ribs (305, 306) project from an inner surface of a receptacle (301) of the second housing (300). The first housing (10) has a main body (11) that can fit into the receptacle (301), a seal ring (50) is mounted externally on the housing main body (11) and a retaining member is mounted into the main body (11). The retaining member includes a pressing surface (67, 90) for preventing detachment of the seal ring (50) and grooves (68, 86) that receive the ribs (305, 306) when the housings are connected. Reverse tapered surfaces (74, 91) are formed on the back surfaces of the grooves (68, 86) at a side facing and opposite to the pressing surface (67, 90) of the retaining member and incline toward the housing main body (11) to approach the pressing surface (67, 90).

    摘要: A front portion of a terminal is provided with a flattened-rectangular tube-shaped box part for receiving a male tab terminal so as to establish contact and conduction thereto. Then, lock holes are provided at three parts of the center in the width direction of the box part and vicinities of both ends in the width direction. A lance for locking the terminal is formed in the shape of one plate. Three beaks protrude therefrom for engaging with the lock holes of the terminal. Further, the lance is provided with slits for improving elasticity and a linkage part for linking the three beaks together.

    摘要: An electrical connector comprising one or more housings and a carrier adapted to receive the housing(s). The housing comprises a flexible lance adapted to flex to maintain an electrical contact in the receptacle. The carrier comprises a protrusion. When the lance is in its unlock condition, the lance cooperates with the protrusion to prevent the housing from reaching the assembled position with respect to the carrier. When the lance is in its lock condition, the lance does not cooperate with the protrusion.

    摘要: A retainer (50) is mounted into a housing (20). The retainer (50) can be inserted into a deformation space (26) for the locking lance (25) when a terminal fitting (80) is inserted properly into a cavity (22) and thus restricts deformation of a locking lance (25) to lock the locking lance (25). On the other hand, the retainer (50) contacts the resiliently deformed locking lance (25) to prevent any further insertion of the retainer (50) when the terminal fitting (80) is in an insufficiently inserted state in the cavity (22). First and second contact portions (31, 32) are provided at different positions of the locking lance (25) with which the retainer (50) contacts the first contact portions (31) when the terminal fitting (80) is inserted insufficiently in the cavity (22). A jig (100) contacts the second contact portion (32) to release a locked state of the terminal fitting (80).

    摘要: A connector that may be prevented from detaching from separating plates of a stack even when vibrations or an external impact of a vehicle occurs by maintaining a locking state in which locking bosses of a CPA are inserted into lock grooves of terminals of separating plates. In addition, connecting points of connecting pieces of connecting terminals are spaced apart to not contact each other with respect to a contact line. The connecting terminals are not detached from the separating plates even when the separating plates is a ultra-slim film having a thickness of about 0.1 mm or less, making it possible to increase a reliability of a product.
