Publication number: 20230096310Abstract: A substrate for contacting an electrical pin arranged in a housing includes a base having a recess receiving the electrical pin, a metal leadframe having a contacting region electrically and/or thermally contacting the electrical pin, and a contact pin extending along a mating direction in a plane parallel to the metal leadframe and configured to electrically contact a mating contact pin of a mating connector. The metal leadframe is rigidly fixed to the base to prevent a relative movement between the metal leadframe and the substrate. The substrate is movable with respect to the housing along a locking direction from an unlocked position where the substrate is not locked to the housing to a locked position in which the substrate is locked to the housing. A movement of the contacting region with respect to the electrical pin is prevented in the locked position.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2022Publication date: March 30, 2023Applicant: Tyco Electronics France SASInventors: Olivier Pamart, Bruno Dupont, Romain Anselmini

Publication number: 20230009516Abstract: A sealed cable feedthrough of a plug connector includes a housing having an opening receiving a cable, a cover partially covering the opening, the cover having a through hole receiving the cable along an insertion direction, and a seal member sealing an interface between the housing and the cover. The seal member has a tubular member with a through hole receiving the cable along the insertion direction. The tubular member is arranged within the through hole of the cover and extends along a direction parallel to the insertion direction. The tubular member seals an interface between the cover and the cable.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2022Publication date: January 12, 2023Applicant: Tyco Electronics France SASInventors: Eric Chatelus, Bruno Dupont, Olivier Pamart, Stephane Gallerand

Publication number: 20220337005Abstract: A temperature measuring device for measuring a temperature of a terminal of an electrical connector includes a printed circuit board, a temperature sensor mounted on the printed circuit board, and a thermally conductive sleeve having a first thermally conductive portion and a second thermally conductive portion. The first thermally conductive portion has a recess receiving a part of the printed circuit board. The first thermally conductive portion is in thermal contact with the temperature sensor. The second thermally conductive portion forms a flexible tab extending from the first thermally conductive portion and contacting the terminal.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2022Publication date: October 20, 2022Applicant: Tyco Electronics France SASInventors: Olivier Pamart, Eric Chatelus, Bruno Dupont, Jose Ferreira

Patent number: 11325488Abstract: A housing for an electrical connector includes a first set of orifices receiving a plurality of first pins, a second set of orifices receiving a plurality of second pins, a first draining device evacuating a fluid from the first set of orifices, and a second draining device evacuating a fluid from the second set of orifices. The second pins having a voltage higher than the first pins. The first set of orifices and the second set of orifices extend through the housing from a first interface of the housing toward a second interface of the housing in a connecting direction. The first draining device and the second draining device are isolated from each other and prevent fluid communication between the fluid from the first set of orifices and the fluid from the second set of orifices.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2020Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: Tyco Electronics France SASInventors: Bruno Dupont, Tehuai Chin

Publication number: 20070077802Abstract: An electrical connector assembly including a first and a second connector, the first connector including a terminal unit and a housing having a wall section, where the terminal unit protrudes from the wall section enabling the first connector to be mated with the second connector. The terminal unit is movable with respect to the wall section. In a first state, the terminal unit protrudes from the wall section. In a second state, the terminal unit is lowered under, or aligned with the wall section.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2006Publication date: April 5, 2007Inventors: Bruno Dupont, Francois Jodon, Jean-Pierre Picaud
