Abstract: This disclosure generally pertains to connectors having a signal contact assembly containing a plurality of rod-shaped signal contact members, generally cylindrical dielectric material encasing the sides of the signal contact members and a generally cylindrical conductive shield in contact with the dielectric material. The signal contact assembly along with rod-shaped power contact members are placed in the connector. This combination can be considered to be in the nature of a connector within a connector. The connector can transmit data at 100 Mbps or greater along with power while minimizing the space required for the contacts. The connectors may be generally circular in cross-section.

Abstract: This disclosure generally pertains to circular connectors having a signal contact assembly containing four rod-shaped signal contact members, generally cylindrical dielectric material encasing the sides of the signal contact members and a generally cylindrical conductive shield in contact with the dielectric material. The signal contact assembly along with four rod-shaped power contact members are placed in the connector in an array such that the cluster of signal contact members is offset from the array of power contact members. This combination can be considered to be in the nature of a connector within a connector. The connector provides good electrical performance while minimizing the space required for the contacts.

Abstract: An axial airbag connector with a connector assurance slide including a plug connector, a bottom cover attached to the plug connector, and a sliding cover with forwardly extending secondary locking arms. The sliding cover can be locked in either a forward or a rear position. When the sliding cover is in its forward position, the secondary locking arms force plug locking arms at the front of the plug connector outwardly so as to engage the plug connector in its mating socket. A displacement limiter is used to limit the range of movement of the sliding cover between its forward and rear positions.

Abstract: An electrical assembly includes a socket member and a plug member adapted for mating with the socket member along a mating axis of the socket member. The socket member has a mating aperture having a side wall portion and a bottom wall portion. The side wall portion has a locking slot, while the bottom wall portion has at least one pin contact and at least one tab member. Each pin contact and each tab member extends from the bottom wall portion substantially parallel to the mating axis. The plug member includes a bottom surface and a resilient locking device adapted for engaging in the locking slot of the side wall portion of the socket member. The bottom surface has a socket contact aperture corresponding to each pin contact extending from the bottom wall portion of the mating aperture and a tab aperture corresponding to each tab member extending from the bottom wall portion of the mating aperture.

Abstract: An airbag igniter plug including a plug housing, a removable cover latched onto the housing, and a secondary locking clip having locking arms which are inserted into grooves in the cover and which are slidable from a rear unlocking position to a front locking position. A resilient finger on the locking clip cooperates with a ramp on the cover to retain the locking clip in its unlocking or locking position. When the locking clip is moved into its locking position, its locking arms bias the locking arms at the front of the plug body outwardly so as to engage their locking catches and prevent unmating of the plug from its mating socket.
