  • Patent number: 5295861
    Abstract: An electrical connector, suitable for use in coupling an engine ignition coil encased by potting material within an electrically insulated housing, includes a distended section for extending into the potting material adjacent to the coil, and an external coupler for engaging with an electrical connector from the vehicle ignition system. A central mounting section between these two end sections of the connector includes a U-shaped section defining a slot therein which couples with and communicates over a lip of the housing at a level above the potting material in order to reduce leakage of the potting material during the high temperature curing process. The central mounting section and the housing also include cooperating channels and ridges for guiding electrical conductors that couple with and then restrict the movement of the ignition coil within the housing.
