  • Publication number: 20240079799
    Abstract: A grounding electrical connector assembly may have a connector subassembly and a terminal subassembly. The connector subassembly may include a connector housing having a body defining a terminal cavity therein and a ground bar, secured to the connector housing, having electrical contacts extending into the terminal cavity and a portion that secures to grounding structure. The terminal subassembly may include a terminal housing having a main body defining terminal cavities extending therethrough that each receive one of a plurality of terminals, the main body telescopically slidable into and releasably secured to the terminal cavity.

  • Patent number: 11139623
    Abstract: A splice connector assembly includes a housing and a flat bus plate. The housing has openings on opposed end walls defining an axis being generally perpendicular to the opposed end walls. The flat bus plate is disposed within the housing, including a connecting strip extending generally perpendicular to the axis, a first set of male terminals extending outwardly from the connecting strip generally parallel to the axis, and a second set of male terminals extending outward from the connecting strip generally parallel to the axis and in an opposite direction from the first set of male terminals, wherein a free end of each of the male terminals are configured to receive and electrically connect with female flat terminals, and wherein the female flat terminals extend into the housing to connect to the male terminals through the openings on the opposed end walls.
