Abstract: An electrical connector assembly has a frame member which is positioned on a housing and is movable between an terminal insertion position and a terminal lock position. The frame member has resilient fingers with extend into terminal receiving cavities of the housing to properly position and maintain the terminals in the terminal receiving cavities when the frame member is in the terminal lock position. The frame member has anti-rattle projections which cooperate with a panel when the assembly is mounted therein. The anti-rattle projections ensure that a positive electrical connection will be effected and maintained over time.

Abstract: A connector assembly for commonly connecting a plurality of wires comprises a stamped and formed one-piece electrical connecting device having a plurality of U-shaped members arranged in two parallel rows. The opposed edges of adjacent U-shaped members define wire-receiving slots. The U-shaped members have arms which have openings therein forming beams in each of the arms which are deformed in a controlled manner when wires are inserted into the slots. A housing assembly is also disclosed comprising a housing body and a cover. When the cover is assembled to the housing body, the wires are inserted into the slots and the wires are clamped by the cover and the housing body.

Abstract: A sealed, filtered connector for establishing a disconnectable termination to two wires with a capacitor extending between the two terminals is disclosed. Each terminal has a first slotted or insulation displacement contact section facing outwardly with an intermediate slotted plate contact located between the first outwardly facing contact section and a pin receptacle located at the opposite end of the terminal. The terminals are positioned within a insulative housing having passages for receiving the pin receptacle portions and a cavity located at an opposite end. Sealant can be deposited within the cavity. The electrical termination with leads on a capacitor located within the housing is laterally offset from the insulation displacement contact with the wires and the pin receptacle is laterally offset from each slotted plate interconnection.
