Patent number: 11101597Abstract: An electrical connector includes a connector housing configured for attachment to an electrical enclosure. A first side of the connector housing faces an inside of the electrical enclosure and a second side of the connector housing faces an outside of the electrical enclosure. The connector housing may include a connector aperture configured to receive an electrical conductor, which may extend between the first and second sides of the connector housing. The connector housing may further include a ventilation pathway separate from the connector aperture that defines a fluid communication path between the first side and the second side of the connector housing.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2020Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: Lear CorporationInventors: Montserrat Pinol Pedret, Antoni Pujol Simon, Ferran Juanes Ribas, Jose Antonio Cubero Pitel

Patent number: 10355390Abstract: In at least one embodiment, a connector assembly for being positioned on a vehicle is provided. The connector assembly includes first and second connector portions. The first connector portion defines a first and second channels. Each of the first and second channels are positioned on opposite sides of the first connector portion. The first connector portion includes a first contact member and a second contact member. The second connector portion includes a first shutter and a second shutter positioned on an outer surface of the second connector portion. Each of the first shutter and the second shutter are configured to receive the first contact member and the second contact member, respectively. Each of the first and second shutters pivot about an axis in response to receiving the first contact member and the second contact member, respectively, to enable the first connector portion to mate with the second connector portion.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2018Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: Lear CorporationInventors: Joan Ignasi Ferran Palau, Josep Maria Pares Caselles, Ferran Juanes Ribas, Joan Balana Avila
