Abstract: A pigtail assembly is permanently attached to an oxygen sensor post terminal having longitudinally spaced ring contacts of different diameter. The pigtail assembly includes an end connector, a pair of insulated lead wires extending from the end connector, an appropriately sized terminal attached to the end of each insulated lead wire, and a splash guard slidably mounted on the insulated lead wires.Each of the terminals has a clip-like contact shaped for snap assembly to, retention on, and welding to a respective one of the ring contacts. An insulator sleeve, slidably mounted on the lead wire having the smaller terminal attached to its end isolates the terminals from each other and properly positions the splash guard after the terminals are welded to the associated ring contacts of the oxygen sensor.

Abstract: A socket connector is detachably connected to an oxygen sensor post terminal. The connector includes a connector body which comprises a housing and a cover which are secured together to form two longitudinal series of chambers and a socket. A terminal and attached wire conductor are disposed in each longitudinal series of chambers with the wire conductor leading out of the connector body. The connector body has elastomeric seal pads which seal the wire conductors and a vented socket seal.

Abstract: A pig tail is attached to an oxygen sensor by a sealed electrical connector having four terminals welded to respective contacts of the four way oxygen sensor post terminal. The electrical connector includes a welding fixture-connector body of dielectric material which prearranges the terminals for assembly to the post terminal as a unit. After assembly, the body serves as a welding fixture and for this purpose has diametrically opposed windows which provide access for the welding electrodes. The connector is sealed by a seal boot which is carried by a grommet which slides on the pig tail leads.

Abstract: A current switching device for use in printed circuit board application includes a terminal contact board sandwiched with respect to a foamed spring pad that supportingly receives a pivotal contactor plate in juxtaposed relationship therewith and wherein the switch includes a rotatable rocker engageable with the contactor plate and pivotal to cause the contactor plate to be shifted into electrical bridging engagement with the terminal board and wherein the foamed pad yields in both compression and shear to produce a bias on the contactor plate for return thereof to a spaced relationship with the terminal board when the rocker is in a neutral position.

Abstract: An electrical connector comprises a connector body and terminal arrangement for electrically connecting a flexible printed circuit and a pair of hardboard printed circuits. The connector body has two rows of terminal receiving cavities, most of which receive generally U-shaped transition terminals which electrically connect the flexible printed circuit to one or the other of the hardboard printed circuits. The hardboard printed circuits may be electrically interconnected by a jumper terminal disposed in corresponding cavities of the two rows and directly engaging the confronting faces of the hardboard printed circuits and/or by a bridge terminal engaging transition terminals in corresponding cavities of the two rows.

Abstract: A lamp socket and panel mount assembly for a printed circuit board includes a lamp socket having a bulb opening at one end thereof with terminal means therein for electrical connection to a bulb and with the terminal means including radially outwardly directed tab portions for electrical connection to leads of a printed circuit board when the housing is supported on a mounting panel; the housing includes locator and stop surfaces thereon to permit insertion thereof from either side of the printed circuit board and mounting panel into a fixed axial relationship with the panel wherein rotation of the housing with respect to the panel electrically connects the tab portions to circuit board leads and positions locator and stop surfaces on the housing to secure it and a flexible printed circuit board to the mounting panel.
