Abstract: An airbag connector and cable assembly comprises a connector having a cable receiving cavity and a cable outlet extending perpendicularly to the cavity. A flat cable terminated to the connector is folded along a fold in the cable outlet region of the connector. The cable is then looped over the fold to provide a flexible loop. The loop enables absorption of tolerance in the positioning of the cable at the outlet with respect to the fold, without causing undue force on the conductors that are bent through the fold. The latter insures a high reliability and is cost effective.

Abstract: A fuel pump unit comprises a pump supporting flange for closing an opening in a fuel tank. The supporting flange has a wet side from which projects a fuel pump and an opposite dry side from which projects a lip defining a through opening in the supporting flange. An electrical connector has a mating portion for mating with a further connector connected to the power supply for the pump. There depends from the mating portion an insulating block into which have been moulded electrical tabs each having one end projecting into the mating portion and the other end projecting below the insulating block. Leads are connected to these lower portions of the tab terminals by means of electrical clips. The connector is inserted through the opening in the supporting flange from the wet side thereof so that a resilient skirt surrounding the insulating block is force fitted to the inner surface of the lip and a sealing ring is compressed by a flange at the bottom of the skirt, against the wet side of the supporting flange.
