Abstract: An electrical connector comprises a first connector, a second connector matable with the first connector, an elastic clip mounted on the first connector and movable between an engagement position and a disengagement position, and a safety locking member slidably mounted on the first connector and movable between a pre-locking position and a locking position. The elastic clip is coupled to the second connector in the engagement position to keep the second connector mated with the first connector. The elastic clip enables decoupling of the first connector and the second connector in the disengagement position. The safety locking member contacts the elastic clip in the locking position and prevents movement of the elastic clip from the engagement position toward the disengagement position.

Abstract: An ignition coil for an ignition system of an internal combustion engine includes a primary winding connected, by an electrical connection, to a generator, and a secondary winding connected to a spark plug and including a plurality of turns of capillary wire covered with an insulating layer and wound on an electrically insulating support. The support includes a receiving seat in which there is inserted a terminal to which an end portion of the capillary wire is anchored. A connector includes an elastic clip contact element that is fitted on the terminal and is provided with a cutting element to cut the insulating layer of the capillary wire. A stop device prevents the elastic clip contact element from closing beyond a determined amount or entity. An abutment body abuts on the terminal to establish the electrical connection between the capillary wire and the terminal.

Abstract: An electrical connector comprises a contact element capable of being coupled to a support element on which a wire is wound and a flexible sleeve mounted around the contact element to retain the contact element on the support element. The contact element has an inoperative undeformed position in which flexible walls of the contact element are outwardly divergent from one another and, when the contact element is fitted over the support element in the inoperative undeformed position, a cutting element of the contact element remains at a distance from the wire. The flexible sleeve is movable into a final operative position in which the flexible sleeve pushes the flexible walls toward an inwardly inclined position in which the cutting element cuts into the insulating material of the wire and forms an electrical connection with the wire.

Abstract: A connector for connecting to a magnetic coil wound onto a support is disclosed. The connector comprises a first resilient body formed of a conductive material and having a plurality of cutters disposed on a plurality of inner walls of the first resilient body. The first resilient body is inserted onto the support and held in an open position during insertion. The first resilient body is biased into a closed position. In the closed position, the plurality of cutters cut an insulating layer on the magnetic coil and the first resilient body retains the magnetic coil on the support while electrically connecting the magnetic coil and the support.

Abstract: An electrical connector is disclosed having a first connector member, a second connector member, and a connector position assurance element. The first connector member has a stop surface with flanking projections. The second connector member is complimentary to the first connector member and has a stop element with a second raised portion. The connector position assurance element is slidably mountable on the first connector member and has a first engagement portion and a second engagement portion. The first engagement portion engages the flanking projections when the first connector member is completely mated to the second connector member in a final mating position. The second engagement portion is spaced a distance from the first engagement portion in a longitudinal direction of the connector position assurance element, and is engaged with the second raised portion when the first connector member is mated to the second connector member in the final mating position.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a sealing assembly (100,200), which can be used for sealing an electric circuit of a connector (510).
