Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical connector comprising, a female terminal, including a terminal base body; one or more pairs of terminal plates facing each other, protruding in an insertion direction from the edge of the terminal base body, for receiving and connecting to a mating male terminal and the one or more pairs of terminal plates facing each other being adapted to form recesses for receiving the mating male terminal and to provide a clamping compressive force against the mating male terminal; and one or more tilting restriction elements, a connector cavity for building the female terminal in, and an opening of the electrical connector for inserting a mating male terminal for connecting the mating male terminal with the female terminal, wherein the connector cavity includes one or more contacting portions corresponding to the tilting restriction elements.

Abstract: An endplay adjustment system and method is shown having a slider body that has a thrust surface that lies in a plane that is generally perpendicular to an axis of an armature and that can be driven toward the armature by a plunger body. After the plunger body is driven into a plunger-receiving area of the housing, an angled surface of the plunger engages a mating surface of a slider body which forces the thrust surface into an end of an armature of an electric motor. The plunger body may then be secured, adhered to or welded to the housing and/or the slider body to lock the slider body and plunger into place, thereby reducing or eliminating endplay associated with the armature shaft.

Abstract: A control for an electric heating device for adjusting the duration of the device's heating cycle in order to effectively compensate for variations in the operating voltage supplied to the device. The control includes a means for adjusting the duration of the heating cycle, wherein the adjustment means generates a control voltage for controlling the duration of the heating cycle that is a dynamic function of the magnitude of the operating voltage.
