Abstract: An electrical connector is provided for use in a first electrical circuit having a power supply, a load, and a fuse or circuit breaker receptacle. The receptacle has first and second terminals which are spaced apart from one another. The connector has first and second blades made of electrically conductive material. A non-conductive carrier is fixed to the first and second blades. The carrier fixes the blades at a spacing that matches the spacing of the terminals of the one of a fuse or circuit breaker receptacle. The connector can be inserted into the receptacle to provide an electrical connection point for a second electrical circuit.

Abstract: An after-run heating system for a vehicle includes a pump and a control circuit therefor located in the engine compartment and a separate vehicle fan control circuit located in the passenger compartment. The after-run heating system is configurable at the time of installation as an interconnected system or as a divided system. The interconnected system has direct electrical connections between the control circuits. The divided system has no mechanical, electrical or electromagnetic connections between the control circuits. The components in both the engine and passenger compartments function co-dependently, either as an interconnected system or as a divided system.

Abstract: A relay connecting means comprising a loose terminal connector mounted on a thin substrate carrier. The loose terminal connector comprising displaceable tabs being engagable with the terminal blade of the automotive plug-in relay. The loose terminal connector may further comprise a wire connecting post for connecting a wire conductor thereto.
