Abstract: An interlock for use with an electrical system includes an electrical component that is supported on a support structure. A first member is removably secured to the support structure. The first member prevents contact with the electrical component while the first member is secured to the support structure. A second member is also removably secured to the support structure. The second member prevents removal of the first member while the second member is secured to the support structure. The electrical component is adapted to be connected to a power source only when both the first member and the second member are secured to the support structure.

Abstract: An electrical connector adapted to even more securely and positively hold a conventional terminal element therein such that the terminal element cannot be withdrawn from a main body portion of the connector by a pulling or tugging force. The connector comprises a main body portion having an inner upper wall portion and an inner lower wall portion. A plurality of upper bores are formed in connection with the inner upper wall portion, and a plurality of lower bores are formed in connection with the inner lower wall portion. Each of the inner upper and lower wall portions include a shoulder portion which protrudes into one of the upper or lower bores. A conventional terminal element is inserted into a front side of the connector where a portion of the terminal element abuttingly engages the internal shoulder portion of the bore in which it is inserted. A shoulder portion positively and effectively prevents the terminal element from being withdrawn by a pulling or tugging force from a rear side of the main body portion. The upper and lower shoulder portions are non-flexible and non-moving and are therefore not susceptible to breakage such as with conventional leaf beam-type latching arms.

Abstract: An electrical junction box for an automotive vehicle. The junction box includes an upper cover and a lower cover. The lower cover may be constructed as a unitary one-piece molded body that defines a plurality of separate terminal cavities. Each of the separate terminal cavities is adapted to receive a single wire terminal without a housing connector that has multiple wire-terminal receptacles. In addition, the junction box may include an electrical circuit board and a busbar between the upper cover and the lower cover.

Abstract: Vehicle doors generally include a metal door frame connected to an interior trim panel. Electrical connections are made between trim panel electrical connectors, and mating electrical connectors on the door frame. A self-aligning connection system allows one of the connectors to float or aligns with the mating electrical connector by being allowed to move in three directions during assembly. The connection system includes a carriage (46) having a hole, a clip (48), and a base (44). The clip releasably holds one electrical connector (50). The clip (48) is disposable within the carriage (46) so that the clip moves along a first axis and a second axis within the carriage. The base comprises a plate (53) and at least one post (54) extending from the plate. The carriage is placed on the post so that the post extends through the hole. The diameter of the post allows the carriage to be slidably engaged therewith along a third axis. The self-aligning connection system allows the connectors to move in three axises or directions relative to one another. As a result, the connectors self-align with the complementary connectors, and can be mated without the operator'hands on the connectors or seeing the connection.
