  • Publication number: 20200251857
    Abstract: A connector includes a housing and a connector position assurance device (CPA). The CPA is movable between a first position and a second position and assures that the connector is completely mated with a mating connector or maintains a completely mated state in the second position. The housing has a mating portion, a guiding portion, and an abutting portion. The CPA has a base portion guided by the guiding portion and a beam portion. The abutting portion abuts on the beam portion in the first position during non-mating with the mating connector to block movement of the CPA to the second position. The mating connector during complete mating deforms the beam portion to remove the abutment of the beam portion on the abutting portion to allow the CPA to move to the second position.

  • Patent number: 10727470
    Abstract: A battery terminal having a post-engaging portion configured to receive a battery post. The post-engaging portion has an arcuate portion having a first portion, a second portion and a slot separating the first portion from the second portion. Wherein in response to the lever being moved toward a closed position, the first portion and second portion are subjected to a tensile force, causing the first portion and the second portion to elongate while not exceeding the yield strength of the first portion and the second portion generating stored energy in the first portion and the second portion. The stored energy results in a constant normal force being applied by the first portion and the second portion of to the battery post to provide and maintain a gastight electrical contact interface between the first portion and the second portion and the battery post.
