Abstract: A receptacle terminal includes a terminal body with a cable end configured to be terminated to a cable and a mating end configured to be mated with a blade terminal. The terminal body includes a receptacle at the mating end. The receptacle has a first wall and a second wall generally parallel to, and spaced apart from, the first wall. The receptacle has a receiving space between the first and second walls configured to receive the blade terminal. A contact spring is separately provided from, and coupled to, the terminal body and has a spring wall received in the receiving space that is positioned between the first wall and the blade terminal. The spring wall has an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surface is spring biased against the first wall. The outer surface is configured to be spring biased against the blade terminal.

Abstract: A header assembly is provided that includes an outer housing that has a mating end and a harness end. The outer housing has a cavity at the mating end and a flange configured to be mounted to a panel of a device. The outer housing is configured to be exposed to an exterior of the device for mating with a plug assembly. A shield is received in the cavity that has a front and a rear. An inner housing is received in the cavity with the shield surrounding at least a portion of the inner housing. The inner housing has a front and a rear and has a latch engaging the front of the shield. The latch allows the inner housing to be released from the shield to remove the inner housing from the cavity.

Abstract: A connector assembly includes an outer housing, an electromagnetic shield, and a plug. The outer housing includes an interior chamber and an opening. The electromagnetic shield is disposed within the outer housing and includes a conductive body having an interior compartment with an aperture. The plug is disposed in the opening of the outer housing and is engaged with the shield around the aperture of the shield. The plug seals the opening in the outer housing and the aperture in the shield to prevent ingress of contaminants into the interior chamber of the outer housing. The plug also restricts emission of electromagnetic interference from the interior compartment of the shield.

Abstract: A power connector includes a holder having a cavity and a tab extending into the cavity. Power contacts are received within the cavity in a stacked configuration. The power contacts have a first end and a second end. The power contacts have a first receptacle section at the first end configured to receive a power terminal therein and a second receptacle section at the second end configured to receive a power terminal therein. The power contacts have an opening, wherein the tab is received in the openings to position the contacts within the cavity.

Abstract: A connector assembly includes an outer housing, an inner housing, a collet, and a retainer. The outer housing longitudinally extends between a front end and a rear end. The rear end has an opening for receiving a cable. The inner housing is located within the outer housing and includes a shield that is electrically coupled with the cable to restrict emission of electromagnetic interference. The collet is disposed around the cable at the rear end of the outer housing. The collet includes longitudinally extending fingers that are configured to engage the cable. The retainer is secured to the rear end of the outer housing and secures the collet between the outer housing and the retainer. The retainer and the collet redirect strain imparted on the cable away from an interface between the shield and the cable.

Abstract: A connector assembly for mating with a power distribution module is provided. The connector assembly includes a header connector assembly and a fuse connector assembly. The header connector assembly is configured to be mounted to the power distribution module. The header assembly includes contacts that are connected to a power supply circuit within the power distribution module. The fuse connector assembly is configured to mate with the header assembly. The fuse connector assembly includes a fuse subassembly that has an insert body configured to hold a fuse and conductive terminals. The conductive terminals are mounted to the insert body and are configured to electrically couple with the fuse to establish a fused conductive pathway. The fuse subassembly mates with the contacts in the header assembly to electrically couple the fused conductive pathway with the power supply circuit of the power distribution module.

Abstract: A connector assembly includes an outer housing and a floating latch. The outer housing includes a flexible latch and mates with a header connector subassembly. The floating latch is slidably joined to the outer housing. The floating latch latches onto the outer housing and the header connector subassembly. When the outer housing is moved along a mating direction to mate with the header assembly, the floating latch travels with the outer housing until one of opposite ends of the floating latch couples to the header connector subassembly. After the floating latch is coupled to the header connector subassembly, the outer housing continues to travel along the mating direction relative to the floating latch with the floating latch sliding relative to the outer housing until another one of the opposite ends couples with the flexible latch of the outer housing.
