Abstract:
An electrical connector assembly including ahousing, electrical contact terminals, a hood and a filter member. The housing is sized and shaped to be plugged into an electrical connector socket of an initiator of a gas generator. A first one of the terminals has a wire connection section and a female connection section. The hood surrounds the female connection section of the first terminal. The hood is a stamped and rolled sheet metal member which has a general tube shape. The filter member is connected to the first terminal for providing electromagnetic induction suppression. The filter member can be on a filter assembly having a multi-capacitor chip attached to a spring lead frame.
Abstract:
An electrical connector including a housing having a deflectable latch; electrical contacts connected to the housing; and a connector position assurance (CPA) member slidably mounted to the housing. The latch has a front end with an inward projecting latch projection. The front end of the latch includes a first rearward facing stop surface and a second forward facing stop surface. The forward facing stop surface is located at a top side of the front end. The first stop surface is adapted to retain the CPA member at an unlocked position. The second stop surface is adapted to retain the CPA member at a locked position at the top side of the front end.
Abstract:
An intermittent contact connector device including a frame (12) having a first frame section (28) movably connected to a second frame section (30) ; two electrical contacts (24) connected to the second frame section, an electrical shorting member (26) connected to the first frame section (28). At least one of the contacts (24) is an insulation displacement contact (IDC) member. The shorting members adapted to contact the two electrical contacts to thereby electrically connect the two electrical contacts to each other when the first frame member (28) is moved towards the second frame member (30).

Abstract:
A Hall effect sensor assembly including a Hall effect sensor; an overmolded housing which is overmolded onto the Hall effect sensor; and a magnet movably connected to the Hall effect sensor by a movable connection with the overmolded housing. The movable connection restrains movement of the magnet to a path along and aligned with a Hall effect central sensing axis. The magnet is substantially prevented from tilting relative to the sensing axis.

Abstract:
An electrical connector including a housing; electrical contacts connected to the housing, ; and a connector position assurance (CPA) member movably attached to the housing. The housing includes a deflectable latch for latching with a mating electrical connector. The CPA member includes two deflectable side arms and a center section located between the side arms. The CPA member is movable between a first position and a second position. The first position has the center section spaced from the deflectable latch and outwardly extending portions of the side arms extending through first holes in the housing to an exterior side of the housing The second position comprises a portion of the center section being located beneath a portion of the latch with the latch to prevent the latch from being deflected inward, and the outwardly extending portions being moved out of the first holes.

An electrical connector assembly (10) including a housing (16), electrical contact terminals (18), a hood (20) and a filter member (21). The housing is sized and shaped to be plugged into an electrical connector socket of an initiator of a gas generator. A first one of the terminals has a wire connection section (38) and a female connection section (39). The hood surrounds the female connection section of the first terminal. The hood is a stamped and rolled sheet metal member which has a general tube shape. The filter member is connected to the first terminal for providing electromagnetic induction suppression. The filter member can be on a filter assembly having a multi-capacitor chip attached to a spring lead frame.
Abstract:
An electrical filter assembly including a housing; at least one electrical wire extending into the housing; and a filter subassembly on the housing, the filter subassembly comprising a lead frame and a filter circuit connected to the lead frame. The filter circuit has a plurality of capacitors attached to the lead frame as a modular block. The lead frame comprises at least one insulation displacement contact section which makes electrical connection with the at least one electrical wire.
