Patent number: 11502442Abstract: A pin header connector having: a peripheral frame having, at the centre, a series of through openings; and a plurality of modules, each of which engages a corresponding through opening and is provided with a series of electrical pin contacts and with a support plate, which is made of a plastic material and has a series of first through holes engaged by the corresponding electrical pin contacts. The peripheral frame has a plurality of linear sliding guides, each of which is arranged in the area of a through opening, is designed to guide an insertion of the support plate of a module into the through opening allowing the support plate to only make a translation in a mounting direction, and is provided with a limit stop ending the insertion. An interlocking connection system is provided, which is activated when the support plate of each module strikes against the limit stop.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2021Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: MARELLI EUROPE S.p.A.Inventors: Adriano Plazio, Razvan-Vasile Deji

Patent number: 11417986Abstract: An electrical connector group comprising a connector body shaped to allow electrical connection with external components. The connector body delimits an inner volume. A plurality of electrical contacts are housed in the inner volume and connected to the connector body and to at least one internal electrical/electronic circuit or component. At least one closing lid of the connector body covers and hermetically seals the inner volume. At least one vent valve is fluidically connected to the inner volume, so as to allow only the exit of fluids from the inner volume to the outside. The vent valve comprises a valve head, integral with the connector body and coupled with a seat of the closing lid using a shape coupling, in order to perform a fixing and a centering of the closing lid with respect to the connector body.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2021Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: MARELLI EUROPE S.p.A.Inventors: Adriano Plazio, Razvan-Vasile Deji, Davide Maggioni

Patent number: 9490576Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2015Date of Patent: November 8, 2016Assignee: Tyco Electronics AMP Italia S.R.L.Inventors: Adriano Plazio, Fulvio Amerio
