Abstract: A connector having a male housing and a female housing with keying systems is provided. The keying system on the male housing has a first keying pattern and a second keying pattern. The keying system on the female housing has a third keying pattern and a fourth keying pattern. The keying patterns can be ribs and grooves. A rib of the first keying pattern can be inserted to a groove of the third keying pattern to allow mating of the male housing and the female housing. A rib of the second keying pattern can be inserted to a groove of the fourth keying pattern to allow mating of the male housing and the female housing.

Abstract: An electrical connector is provided. The electrical connector can be a low profile, high voltage connector that can include a male housing and a female housing. The male housing can support male pins that mate with terminals disposed through the female housing. The bend or outward extension of the pins can support forming one row or dual rows of solder pads.

Abstract: A pin assembly is provided. The pin assembly may include pre-bent pins that are formed during stamping and do not require further bending or plating before insertion into a housing. The pin assembly may include a first pin having a first leg, a first contact, a first transition portion engaging the first leg and the first contact, and a slot. The pin assembly may have a second pin having a second leg, a second contact, and a second transition portion engaging the second leg and the second contact. The slot may be configured to receive the second contact. The first transition portion may offset the first contact from the first leg in a first direction and the second transition portion may offset the second contact from the second leg in a second direction that opposes the first direction.

Abstract: An electrical connector is provided. The electrical connector can include a female housing and a terminal position assurance member forming a pre-installed assembly. The terminal position assurance member can include one or more lock arms to retain the terminal position assurance member in a final lock position, which can provide reinforcement or secondary locking for a terminal, and terminal position assurance.

Abstract: A system and method are described for improved connector position assurance. A latch stop mechanism (10) on a first connector may be used to selectively limit movement of a latch (50) and attached latch lock (54) after the latch lock (54) has been engaged to secure the first connector to a second connector. The latch stop mechanism (10) may be attached to the connector housing (80) and have a series of hinges (12), (16) that allow a latch stop mechanism (10) to pivot into place, limiting movement of the latch (50) and latch lock (54). A terminal position assurance (TPA) (30) may be located on the bottom of the connector main body and when engaged, ensures proper positioning of the engaged wire terminal.
