Abstract: This specification describes an orientation block apparatus and assembly for aligning and orienting a brake fluid line and its integral fitting to a structure.

Abstract: An apparatus includes structure defining a first hole that is characterized by an opening. A protuberance surrounds the opening and at least partially defines a concavity. A retention member is disposed within the concavity, and defines a second hole. The second hole has a first portion characterized by a first diameter and a second portion characterized by a second diameter. A threaded fastener has a flange characterized by a third diameter greater than the first diameter and less than the second diameter. The flange is disposed within the second portion of the second hole and between the first portion of the retention member hole and the first surface. Accordingly, the retention member retains the fastener in the concavity while permitting radial movement of the fastener.

Abstract: A power electronics module includes an electronics module and a connector housing. The electronics module includes at least one interface section having at least one conductive surface. At least one connector is configured for attachment to the electronics module to establish electrical communication between the connector and the electronics module. The connector includes a connector housing, an insulative housing, a terminal and a biasing device. The insulative housing is supported by the connector housing. The terminal is configured to transmit electrical current to the conductive surface of the electronics module. The biasing device is configured to bias the terminal in a first direction to establish electrical contact with the conductive surface and the conductive surface biases the terminal in a second direction, opposite the first direction.

Abstract: The present invention is a routable rigid conductor assembly 10 having a core conductor 20 with a plurality of insulating dielectric layers and an armored exterior layer 70 that is capable of being routed to effect electrical transmission to, for example, a hybrid vehicle electric motor. The conductor assembly 10 of the present invention may be shaped to conform to specific routing configurations required for power transmission in a wide variety of industrial applications while providing impact protection to the conductor inside the assembly.
