Abstract: An Insulation Displacement Contact Compliant connector system (IDCC) which includes a housing, header pins, and a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). Each header pin has at least a single barb to be retained into the housing. Each pin has a blade for contacting a wire. A compliant feature on the pin retains itself into holes in the PCB. The housing has a negative space similarly shaped to the pin. The housing includes a strain relief which provides a lead-in for a wire. When the system is fully assembled, the pins reside in the housing, and exit through the housing and into and through respective holes in the PCB. A wire can be inserted into the housing once the pins reside in the housing. There are several options for the assembly process including a) a pin-to-housing insertion process; b) a housing assembly-to-PCB process or a connector-to-PCB process; and c) a wired housing assembly-to-PCB assembly process or a wire harness-to-PCB assembly process.

Abstract: A heating body, in which a heat-generating composition that generates heat in the presence of air, is accommodated in a bag body formed by heat sealing a one-surface side laminated base material including a first base material and a second base material, and a covering material, at a peripheral edge portion thereof. The first base material has a nonwoven fabric layer and a heat sealable resin layer; and the second base material is a sheet in which an olefin-based nonwoven fabric layer and a resin film are laminated using an olefin-based resin. The first base material and the second base material are capable of forming a space into which a body part can be inserted or held. The heat sealable resin layer and the nonwoven fabric layer are bonded together, and the resin film of the second base material and the covering material are bonded together.

Abstract: The seal spring of the present invention has a dual functionality. The seal spring provides both a sealing property and spring function in use within an electrical connector system, which is accomplished by its elastomeric qualities. The seal spring is preferably comprised of Silicone, EPDM rubber or materials and compositions that provide similar performance during use, or the like. The seal spring of the present invention is not limited or defined into a spring section or a seal section by its geometry. Shown is an implementation of the seal spring within an outer housing and connector assembly. The seal spring compresses and provides adequate spring force against a tab or tabs within the outer housing. The seal spring also functions as an interface seal and an environmental seal during use. The seal spring is, substantially, in its entirety, of a contiguous and continuous single construction. No part or section of the seal spring is made up of welded, soldered, or brazen part or section.

In another embodiment of this invention, a protruding member extends from a first support member of the main body, and a cut-out portion at the lower portion of the main body accommodates therein the protruding member. Furthermore, in this another embodiment of the electrical male terminal of this invention, a protrusion extends from the unattached end portion of the lever member to protect the electrical male terminal from inadvertently falling out during use. The configuration or shape of the cross-section across the upper portion at the front portion of the main body and the support member at the front portion of the main body of the electrical male terminal is substantially U-shaped.

Abstract: The present invention involves an outer housing, having a tab or plurality of tabs, the housing accommodating a seal (seal spring), a second outer housing, and a third outer housing. The tabs being conductive coated to provide an element or portion of a grounding scheme for a connector assembly containing the outer housing. The tabs make substantial contact with the third outer housing and complete a portion of the connector assembly grounding scheme. When the outer housing is provided with a seal spring, the seal spring provides more force, additional force, for higher contact pressure with the third outer housing than would be present without the seal spring.

Abstract: A secondary lock system connector assembly engaging and warning system, and a method for operating thereof includes a connector assembly having male and female connectors, the female connector having a secondary lock system (SLS) inside thereof. Engagement steps or assembling processes of the male and female connectors include Stage Nos. 1-4 depending on the position of the male connector inside the female connector. In Stage No. 1, the male connector begins to be brought towards the female connector such that a flag member of the SLS remains hidden inside the female connector. In Stage No. 2, the male connector enters the female connector and begins to engage with the SLS, while the flag member of the SLS continues to remain hidden inside the female connector. In Stage No.

Abstract: A hidden releasable barcode or QR code for indicating mating or non-mating of two elements, which includes a conceiling feature which indicates the non-mating of said two elements, and an indicating feature which indicates the mating of said two elements. The conceiling feature and the indicating feature are one and the same structure with no relative motion between the conceiling feature and the indicating feature. The same structure on which the conceiling feature and the indicating feature are located is a rotatable platter, wherein the conceiling feature is an upper side of the rotatable platter, while the indicating feature is an underside of the rotatable platter having the barcode or QR code thereon. When the rotatable platter becomes unblocked, a spring (i.e.

Abstract: The connector assembly includes a terminal position assurance (TPA) device, and a seal retainer. A downwardly extending protrusion member of the seal retainer engages with a recess on an upper surface of an upper portion of the TPA device to form a cam linkage mechanism or a cam mechanical linkage for the TPA device and the seal retainer. The seal retainer, when pushed or inserted towards an outer housing, by way of the cam linkage mechanism with the TPA device, pushes the TPA device to one side such that the terminals within the outer housing remain unlocked. The seal retainer, when further pushed or inserted toward the outer housing, by way of the cam linkage mechanism, moves the TPA device laterally to an opposite side such that the TPA device blocks the terminals within the outer housing. A lower portion of the seal retainer is, at a pre-lock or full-lock position, engaged with mating locking members at a bottom portion of a terminal guidance member.

Abstract: An electrical male terminal of this invention includes a clamp or crimp area, a main body, and a blade. Protruding members and support members of the main body act as overstress protection. A panel shield member protects a protruding guide member. In another embodiment of this invention, a protruding member extends from a first support member of the main body, and a cut-out portion at the lower portion of the main body accommodates therein the protruding member to prevent the tang member from inadvertently or accidentally rotating relative to the lower portion of the main body.

Abstract: A terminal spring on a female terminal that integrates a terminal spring spacer to underlying terminal bases of said terminal spring to aid in maintaining proper contact interface gap for receiving therein a corresponding male terminal. The terminal spring spacer is integrally, contiguously, or unitarily connected to said terminal spring as a single piece. The female terminal, onto which the terminal spring with the terminal spring spacer is joined, includes a pair of terminal bases, each having a contact zone, a transition zone, and a terminal (wire) zone. The contact zones and transition zones of the first and second terminal bases are substantially contained within the terminal spring. The terminal spring spacer effectively maintains a correct gap through an interface gap between front ends of the contact zones of the first and second terminal bases through another gap between transition zones of the first and second terminal bases for accommodating therein the corresponding male terminal.
