Abstract: A bulkhead connector assembly is provided having an outer housing that has an internal chamber. The outer housing has a sealing section configured to seal an exterior of the outer housing within an opening. A terminal housing is configured to hold a plurality of terminals. The terminal housing is received in the internal chamber. The terminal housing has primary locking mechanisms configured to secure the terminals in the terminal housing. An independent secondary lock (ISL) is separately provided from, and coupled to, the terminal housing. The ISL is configured to secure the terminals in the terminal housing and assure they are properly seated.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an electrical connector that attaches a fuel injector assembly to a vehicle control assembly. The electrical connector comprises a plastic molded body having two integrally formed portions, a base portion and a stem portion, and an electrical contact extending through the body from the stem portion to the base portion. The base is inserted into the fuel injector assembly with the electrical contact engaging a corresponding contact within the fuel injector assembly. Similarly, the electrical contact in the stem portion of the connector is attached to a corresponding contact of a control assembly, which provides the electrical signals to operate the fuel injector. The base portion includes a metallic sleeve that extends between its sidewalls and cooperates with a locking pin that is inserted through openings in the fuel injector assembly to lock the two components together.
