摘要: A split housing connector assembly provides integrated terminal position assurance and an independent secondary lock and includes a nosepiece and a rear housing. In a pre-lock configuration, a plurality of wire terminal bays are aligned to allow insertion of wire terminals and wherein in a locked configuration the rear housing is displaced relative to the nosepiece offsetting the wire terminal bays and blocking removal of the wire terminals. The rear housing engages the nosepiece along a cam track to guide relative movement during assembly.

摘要: A connector assembly includes a first-connector-housing, an inner-housing, a terminal-stabilizer, and a second-connector-housing. The inner-housing is disposed within a cavity defined by the first-connector-housing. The inner-housing includes an opposed flexible-lock moveable from a locked-position to an unlocked-position. The terminal-stabilizer is disposed within the cavity and is movable from a pre-stage-position to a seated-position. The terminal-stabilizer defines a stop configured to engage an end of the opposed flexible-lock when the opposed flexible-lock is in the locked-position. The second-connector-housing includes an unlocking-feature configured to move the opposed flexible-lock from the locked-position to the unlocked-position. When the second-connector-housing is mated with the first-connector-housing the unlocking-feature moves the opposed flexible-lock to the unlocked-position, whereby the stop on the terminal-stabilizer moves past the opposed flexible-lock and the second-connector-housing moves the terminal-stabilizer from the pre-stage-position to the seated-position.

摘要: A connector apparatus including a housing, and a primary lock reinforcement. The housing includes at least one substantially cylindrical coaxial cavity therein. The coaxial cavity has a first end, a second end, and a locking finger. At least one stop is located proximate the second end. A locking finger is positioned intermediate the first end and the second end. The locking finger includes a locking tab, and an unlocking surface. The locking finger is formed to be flexible and capable of flexing between a lock position and an unlock position. The locking finger is biased toward the lock position. The primary lock reinforcement is placed in the housing and has an opening therein corresponding to the second end of the cylindrical coaxial cavity.

摘要: An electrical connector-assembly includes a first-housing and a second-housing. The first-housing has first-walls that include opposed gear-racks extending beyond an outer-surface. The opposed gear-racks are configured to engage a mate-assist device. The first-walls include opposed locking-fins extending beyond the outer-surface. The opposed locking-fins have first-fins and second-fins. The second-housing includes the mate-assist device which is moveable from an unlocked-position to a locked-position and is pivotable about the lateral-axis. The mate-assist device has gear-teeth configured to engage the opposed gear-racks of the first-housing. The second-housing has a skirt configured to slideably engage the outer-surface of the first-housing. The skirt includes flex-locks configured to engage the first-fins and retain the second-housing in a prestage-position. When the mate-assist device is moved from the unlocked-position to the locked-position, the second-housing is moved from the prestage-position to a seated-position, whereby the flex-locks engage the second-fins, thereby inhibiting a movement between the second-housing and the first-housing.

摘要: An electrical connector assembly includes an electrical terminal having an attachment segment connected to an electrical cable and a separate connection segment configured to mate with a corresponding mating terminal and a connector housing defining an L-shaped terminal cavity having a first cavity section in which the connection segment is disposed and a second cavity section arranged substantially perpendicularly to the first section in which the attachment segment is at partially disposed. The connection segment is movable from a pre-staged position in which the connection segment is electrically disconnected from the attachment segment to a fully staged position in which the connection segment is electrically connected to the attachment segment while attached to the connector housing.

摘要: An electrical connector system includes a first connector body defining a locking fin, a second connector body configured to receive the first connector body, and a flexible locking arm defined by the second connector body configured to releasably engage the locking fin. A plunger is slidably attached to the second connector body and is moveable from an engaged position in which the plunger holds the locking arm in engagement with the locking fin to a disengaged position in which the plunger disengages the locking arm from the locking fin. A spring is disposed between the plunger and the second connector body and is configured to urge the plunger into the engaged position.

摘要: A connector assembly includes a connector body defining a terminal cavity configured to receive a terminal therein and extending along a longitudinal mating axis. The connector assembly also includes a compliant seal peripherally surrounding the connector body. The connector assembly further includes a retainer that peripherally surrounds a portion of the connector body and is movable to a first position in which the retainer inhibits movement of the seal along the mating axis and allows insertion of the terminal within the terminal cavity. The retainer is further movable from the first position to a second position in which the retainer inhibits movement of the seal along the mating axis while also inhibiting removal of the terminal from the terminal cavity. A method of assembling a connector is also presented.
