Abstract: An electrical assembly may include an electrical component including a terminal and/or circuit electrically connectable to a controller. The circuit may include a temperature sensor disposed proximate the terminal. The circuit may be configured to initiate a status change of said controller if a temperature of the terminal reaches a predetermined threshold. A method of operating an electrical assembly may include providing power from a power source to an electrical component and/or one or more loads, passively monitoring a current of the electrical component, and/or activating the status change of said controller if the current exceeds a current threshold.

Abstract: An electrical unit includes a circuit board, a plurality of first terminals having respective first tabs fixed to the circuit board, a plurality of second terminals having respective second tabs fixed to the circuit board, the second tabs offset from the first tabs in a first direction and a second direction, and/or a terminal housing disposed over the plurality of first terminals and the plurality of second terminals, and connected to the circuit board. A method of assembling an electrical unit includes connecting first tabs with the circuit board, connecting second tabs with the circuit board such that each second tab is at least partially offset from each of the first tabs the plurality of first terminals in a first direction and a second direction, and/or disposing the terminal housing over the first and second terminals.

Abstract: An electrical assembly may include a first housing unit, a second housing unit, and a locking member. The first housing unit may include a guide portion. The second housing unit may be releasably connectable to the first housing unit. The locking member may be configured to slidably engage the guide portion. The locking member may be adjustable relative to the first housing unit and the second housing unit to an unlocked position and a locked position. When the locking member is in the unlocked position, the second housing unit may be removable from the first housing unit. When the locking member is in the locked position, the second housing unit may be secured to the first housing unit via the locking member.

Abstract: An electrical assembly may include an electrically conductive first member, a magnetic second member, and/or a housing molded on the first member and the second member. A method of assembling an electrical assembly may include disposing the first member in contact with a first mold, disposing the second member in contact with the first mold, moving a second mold into contact with the first mold, and/or inserting a housing material (e.g., liquid plastic) into the first mold and the second mold to form the housing.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a connector housing configured for attachment to an electrical enclosure. A first side of the connector housing faces an inside of the electrical enclosure and a second side of the connector housing faces an outside of the electrical enclosure. The connector housing may include a connector aperture configured to receive an electrical conductor, which may extend between the first and second sides of the connector housing. The connector housing may further include a ventilation pathway separate from the connector aperture that defines a fluid communication path between the first side and the second side of the connector housing.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly is provided with a conductive body with a first aperture formed therein, and a second aperture formed therein intersecting the first aperture. A first post has an aperture formed radially therethrough. The first post is sized to be received within the first aperture of the conductive body with an end of the first post accessible externally from the conductive body for receipt of a first electrical connector. A fastener is sized to be received within the second aperture of the conductive body and extend through the aperture in the first post to retain the first post in the conductive body for electrical communication between the first electrical connector and the conductive body. A second post is exposed externally from the conductive body for receipt of a second electrical connector for electrical communication with the first electrical connector.
