Patent number: 11211721Abstract: An electrical connector assembly is provided with a fastener with an elongate body with a threaded portion to receive an electrical terminal, and to receive a threaded fastener to retain the electrical terminal. A conductive body cooperates with the elongate fastener body to engage the electrical terminal and to limit rotation of the fastener relative to the conductive body. A seal is provided between the fastener and the conductive body.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2020Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: Lear CorporationInventors: Angel Molinero Benitez, Ramon Pinana Lopez, Joan Ignasi Ferran Palau, Joan Balana Avila, Josep Maria Pares Caselles

Patent number: 10355390Abstract: In at least one embodiment, a connector assembly for being positioned on a vehicle is provided. The connector assembly includes first and second connector portions. The first connector portion defines a first and second channels. Each of the first and second channels are positioned on opposite sides of the first connector portion. The first connector portion includes a first contact member and a second contact member. The second connector portion includes a first shutter and a second shutter positioned on an outer surface of the second connector portion. Each of the first shutter and the second shutter are configured to receive the first contact member and the second contact member, respectively. Each of the first and second shutters pivot about an axis in response to receiving the first contact member and the second contact member, respectively, to enable the first connector portion to mate with the second connector portion.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2018Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: Lear CorporationInventors: Joan Ignasi Ferran Palau, Josep Maria Pares Caselles, Ferran Juanes Ribas, Joan Balana Avila

Patent number: 10340616Abstract: An electrical terminal includes a body, a first tab extending from a first side of the body, and a second tab extending from a second side of the body. The second tab may be vertically offset, in a longitudinal direction of the body, from the first tab. The first tab and the second tab may extend in substantially opposite directions. An offset distance between the first tab and the second tab may be less than about half of a height of the first tab. The first tab may be disposed such that upon connection of the electrical terminal with a circuit board, the first tab contacts a surface of the circuit board. The second tab may be disposed such that upon connection of the electrical terminal with said circuit board, the second tab does not contact the circuit board.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2017Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: Lear CorporationInventors: Josep Maria Pares Caselles, Elena Cortes, Salvador Bonjoch Cots, Josep Maria Combalia San-Román

Patent number: 8961198Abstract: A junction box assembly is provided with a conductive boss having a first contact surface and a second contact surface spaced apart from the first contact surface. A pair of threaded conductive studs each extends from one of the contact surfaces. A housing is overmolded onto the boss so that the first contact surface, the second contact surface, and the pair of studs are exposed. A printed circuit board (PCB) is oriented in the housing. A busbar is oriented in the housing in electrical communication with the PCB. The busbar has a conductive tab with an aperture formed therethrough. One of the pair of studs is received within the aperture and the contact tab is in electrical communication with one of the first contact surface and the second contact surface.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2013Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Assignee: Lear CorporationInventors: Joan Ignasi Ferran Palau, Josep Maria Pares Caselles, Eduard Torrens Gavalda, Antonio Tomas Amenos

Patent number: 6692314Abstract: Device for fixing electric components comprising a base element (1), a screw (4) of which the head 6) is connected to said element (4) and hold an electric component (12) inserted therein. The device is also comprised of a retention element (8) inserted in the screw (4) so that when screwing the nut (7) said retention element (8) expands inside the base element (1) thereby blocking the screw (4) with respect to the base element.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2002Date of Patent: February 17, 2004Assignee: Lear Automotive (EEDS) Spain, S.L.Inventor: Josep Maria Pares Caselles
