  • Publication number: 20060094293
    Abstract: An electrical connector assembly comprises an electrical USB connector that has a separate lock piece attached to the terminal of the electrical connector. The lock piece has a collar that fits onto the terminal adjacent to the connector body of the electrical connector. The collar has orientation slots that receive tabs of terminal to properly orient the positive lock piece onto the terminal and inner retention shoulders that cooperate with lock fingers of the terminal for locking the positive lock onto the terminal. A flange attached to the collar serves as a finger guard and push surface when the collar is attached to the terminal. The lock piece has lock arms for attaching the collar to a face panel.

  • Publication number: 20050152084
    Abstract: An electrical assembly comprises a lower housing, a circuit board mounted in the lower housing, and an insulator block mounted on an upper surface of the circuit board holding a plurality of terminals that have contact heads extending above the insulator block and connector tails extending below the insulator block and attached to the circuit board. The contact heads extend through a face seal. An upper housing having an integral upstanding shroud is attached to the insulator block and/or the lower housing so that the contact heads are disposed within the shroud and the face seal is compressed between the insulator block and the upper housing. The shroud has an outer periphery and the insulator block has an outer periphery that is spaced inwardly of the outer periphery of the shroud to provide a space beneath the upper housing for attaching electrical and/or electronic components to the circuit board adjacent the insulator block.
