Publication number: 20240085245Abstract: A connector assembly comprises a connector and a temperature sensor. The connector includes a connector housing formed with a sensor slot, and a conductive terminal arranged in the connector housing. The temperature sensor is inserted into the sensor slot and is adapted to detect a temperature of the conductive terminal in the connector. The sensor includes a shell having a first sidewall in thermal contact with the conductive terminal, and a second sidewall opposite to the first sidewall. The second sidewall defines an interference fit portion extending from an outer surface thereof. The interference fit portion forms an interference fit with an inner wall of the sensor slot. A remaining portion of the second sidewall except for the interference fit portion is separated from the inner wall of the sensor slot by a predetermined gap. The sensor further includes a temperature sensing element arranged in the shell.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicants: Measurement Specialties (China) Ltd., Measurement Specialties (Chengdu) Ltd, Tyco Electronics (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.Inventors: Dong Ding, Aibing (Alan) Dong, Liqiang (Gino) Yao, Yuming Xiao

Patent number: 11855380Abstract: A plug connector assembly comprises a plug connector having an elastic locking structure for locking to a socket connector. The elastic locking structure is movable between a locking position engaged with the socket connector, and an unlocking position separated from the socket connector. An adapter of the assembly includes a pressing structure and a pull stop structure. The plug connector is received within the adapter for mating with the socket connector slidably inserted into the adapter. When the plug connector is received within the adapter, the pressing structure presses and holds the elastic locking structure in the unlocking position, and the pull stop structure abuts the elastic locking structure for preventing the plug connector from being pulled out of the adapter.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2021Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignees: Tyco Electronics (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., Sibas Electronics (Xiamen) Co., Ltd.Inventors: Liqiang (Gino) Yao, Yong (Chris) Wang, Renzhong (Andy) Lin, Qiang Yuan

Patent number: 11811170Abstract: A connector assembly comprising a male connector, and a female connector mateable to the male connector. Each of the male and female connectors include a shielding shell having two identical shielding half shells each comprising a bottom wall and a pair of side walls, a protrusion formed on one of the pair of side walls, and a latch formed on the other of the pair of side walls. The latch of one of the two shielding half shells engages with the protrusion of the other of the two shielding half shells for locking the two shielding half shells together. A terminal module is installed in each of the shielding shells. The terminal module and shielding shell of the male connector is adapted to be received within and electrically connected to the female connector.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2021Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignees: Tyco Electronics (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., Tyco Electronics Japan G.K.Inventors: Yingchun (David) Wang, Yusuke Okada, Yong (Chris) Wang, Liqiang (Gino) Yao, Daokuan (Jeremy) Zhang, Hua He, Haibo (Robert) Gan

Publication number: 20220399674Abstract: A sealing installation device for hermetically mounting a housing to a panel includes an elastic sealing washer and a connection member. The elastic sealing washer is disposed between a base of the housing and the panel and seals a mating interface between the base and the panel. The elastic sealing washer has a through slot into which a protrusion formed on a bottom surface of the base is inserted. A thickness of the elastic sealing washer is greater than a height of the protrusion. The connection member connects the base of the housing, the elastic sealing washer, and the panel together. A difference between the thickness of the elastic sealing washer and the height of the protrusion is a predetermined value equal to a compression amount of the elastic sealing washer after the housing is installed on the panel.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 9, 2022Publication date: December 15, 2022Applicants: Tyco Electronics (Shanghai) Co. Ltd., SIBAS Electronics (Xiamen) Co. Ltd.Inventors: Liqiang (Gino) Yao, Yong (Chris) Wang, Aibing (Alan) Dong, Renzhong (Andy) Lin
