Abstract:
A connector assembly having a cover assembly (10) housing a first electrical component (20) and a second electrical component (22). The cover assembly (10) includes a mating connector receiving recess (12), a first component receiving recess (14) and a second component receiving recess (16). A separating wall (50) mechanically and electrically separates the first component receiving recess (14) from the second component receiving recess (16). Latches (26, 28) are positioned in the first and second component receiving recess (14, 16) proximate the mating connector receiving recess (12). The latches (26, 28) cooperate with the electrical components (20, 22) to maintain the electrical component in the component receiving recesses (14, 16). A seal (52) is provided about an inside perimeter of the mating connector receiving recess (12). Wherein when the cover assembly is mated to the mating connector, a sealed compartment is provided that protects the first electrical components and the second electrical components from the environment.
Abstract:
An electrical connector (1104) includes a housing (1100) and a connector position assurance (CPA) element (1118). The housing receives a mating connector in a cavity (1106). The CPA element is moveable between an extended position and an inserted position. The CPA element includes a beam (1194) that is deflected from a blocked position to a clearance position by the mating connector as the mating connector is loaded into the cavity (1106). When the beam of the CPA element is in the blocked position, movement of the CPA element from the extended position to the inserted position is mechanically blocked by a protrusion (1232) of the housing that abuts the beam. When the beam of the CPA element is moved to the clearance position by the mating connector, the beam clears the protrusion (1232) to allow the CPA element (1118) to move from the extended position to the inserted position.
Abstract:
A modular electrical power distribution assembly (10) is provided. The assembly includes a plurality of modular containers (12, 14, 16), each container configured to receive electrical components for interconnection to electrical systems of a predetermined configuration. The plurality of containers is configured for mechanical interconnection.
