  • Patent number: 8403702
    Abstract: Disclosed is an electrical connector adaptor, an electrical assembly, and a process of connecting an electrical assembly. The electrical connector adaptor includes a housing, a mechanical latch positioned on the housing, terminals arranged and disposed within the housing, and a terminal retention device configured to retain the terminals within the housing. The mechanical latch is configured to releasably secure the housing to a first electrical connector. The electrical connector adaptor permits electrical connection between the first electrical connector and a second electrical connector, the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector being otherwise incompatible.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7374464
    Abstract: A battery terminal including a base configured to selectably engage a terminal tongue. An annular electrode-engaging portion is configured to receive a battery post, one end of the electrode-engaging portion extending contiguously from the base. An opposite end of the electrode-engaging portion terminates at a nonplanar member adjacent to the base. A lever-holding portion extends from the base toward the nonplanar member. A lever is pivotably connected to the lever-holding portion about an axis, the lever having a cam-shaped portion. In response to pivotal motion of the lever toward a closed position, the cam-shaped portion is urged into contact with the nonplanar member, the nonplanar member pivoting about an end along the base to resiliently draw the electrode-engaging portion into a gripping arrangement for engagement with the battery post.

  • Patent number: 6848946
    Abstract: A pre-assembled electrical fuse relay box comprising a frame, wherein the frame comprises an upper compartment, a lower compartment, and at least one locking receiver. The fuse box further comprises a plurality of electrical components pre-assembled within the upper compartment, a plurality of connector modules pre-assembled within the lower compartment, an upper cover pivotally mounted on the upper compartment, and a lower cover pivotally mounted on the lower compartment, wherein the connector modules are dimensioned and configured for electrically engaging electrical wires. Each of the upper and lower covers comprise a locking member dimensioned and configured to engage the locking receiver. Moreover, the electrical components comprise relays, circuit breakers, J-case fuses, and blade fuses. The connector modules comprise connection contacts, which extend through the frame and make an electrical connection with the electrical components.
