Abstract: An electrical connector includes a first housing. A second housing is movable relative to the first housing. The electrical connector includes a lever that is mounted on the first housing for relative rotational movement between a pre-stage position and a final position. The lever engages the second housing to move the second housing linearly between a pre-stage position and a seated position relative to the first housing. The electrical connector includes a lock that retains the lever in the final position relative to the first housing. The electrical connector also includes a connector position assurance. The connector position assurance is mounted on the first housing for relative movement between an initial position and an assurance position. When the lever is in the final position and the connector position assurance is in the assurance position, the connector position assurance engages the lever and prevents the lever from being moved away from the final position.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a first housing. A second housing is moveable relative to the first housing. The electrical connector includes a lever mounted on the first housing for relative rotational movement. The lever may move between a pre-stage position and a final position. The lever engages the second housing to move the second housing linearly between a pre-stage position and a seated position relative to the first housing. The electrical connector includes a pre-lock that retains the lever in the pre-stage position relative to the first housing. A pre-lock release on the second housing releases the pre-lock when the second housing is in the pre-stage position relative to the first housing. Releasing the pre-lock allows movement of the lever relative to the first housing.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a first housing. A second housing is moveable relative to the first housing and includes a travel peg. The electrical connector also includes a lever. The lever includes two lever arms that are joined by a handle. Each of the lever arms is attached to the first housing and allows relative rotational movement of the lever about a lever axis. The lever may be moved from a pre-stage position to a final position. The lever engages the travel peg to move the second housing linearly in an insertion direction from a pre-stage position to a seated position relative to the first housing. The travel peg moves along a peg path when the second housing is moved from the pre-stage position to the seated position. The peg path is located between the lever axis and the handle.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a first housing with a plurality of first terminal slots. Each first terminal slot includes a first terminal lock. Each first terminal slot also includes a first end stop. The first end stops are part of the first housing. Each first terminal slot is configured to retain a first electrical terminal between the first terminal lock and the first end stop. The electrical connector also includes a first terminal position assurance. The first terminal position assurance includes a first terminal position assurance body. A plurality of first lock retainers extend from the first terminal position assurance body. The first lock retainers prevent the first terminal locks from moving to a release position. The first terminal position assurance body is located in the same plane as the first end stops.

Abstract: A bus bar includes a conductive portion with a first face and an opposed second face. The first face and second face extend between a first edge and a second edge. The bus bar includes an insulation surrounding the conductive portion. The insulation includes a cut out where a portion of the insulation is removed to expose a terminal on the bus bar. The terminal includes part of the first face of the bus bar and part of the second face of the bus bar. The terminal is located between the first edge and the second edge of the bus bar.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a first housing with two axle posts. A second housing is moveable relative to the first housing and includes two travel pegs. A lever includes two lever arms that are joined by a handle and each of the lever arms has an axle opening with one of the axle posts located therein. The lever is mounted on the first housing for relative rotational movement about a lever axis from a pre-stage position to a final position. The lever engages the travel pegs to move the second housing linearly in an insertion direction from a pre-stage position to a seated position relative to the first housing. Flanges extend from the axle posts generally perpendicular to the lever axis and opposite the insertion direction. The lever arms are located between the first housing and the respective flange when the lever is moved away from the pre-stage position.
