Abstract: An electrical connector assembly including a housing, electrical contact terminals, a hood and a filter member. The housing is sized and shaped to be plugged into an electrical connector socket of an initiator of a gas generator. A first one of the terminals has a wire connection section and a female connection section. The hood surrounds the female connection section of the first terminal. The hood is a stamped and rolled sheet metal member which has a general tube shape. The filter member is connected to the first terminal for providing electromagnetic induction suppression. The filter member can be on a filter assembly having a multi-capacitor chip attached to a spring lead frame.

Abstract: An electrical connector including electrical contacts, a first housing member and a second housing member. The first housing member has contact receiving areas. The electrical contacts are located in the contact receiving areas. The second housing member is connected to the first housing member and comprises a mating electrical connector latch comprising a latch surface at a front end of the latch and a lever arm extending reward from the front end of the latch. The lever arm is adapted to pivot on top of a portion of the second housing member.

Abstract: A latching mechanism and connector position assurance (CPA) system is provided for use with a two-part electrical connector having a first connector half which may be assembled to a second connector half. A raised stop is located on the first connector half, and the stop includes a ramp facing the second connector half during assembly of the first and second halves. A latch pocket is located on the second connector half, and the latch pocket includes an upperwall, a pair of sidewalls, and a deck. A latch member made of resilient metal is located within the latch pocket, and the latch member includes a latch arm having an aperture capable of receiving the raised stop. The latch arm is spring biased toward the deck, so that when the first connector half is assembled to the second connector half, the raised stop enters the aperture. The raised stop is retained within the aperture, and the first and second connector halves are thereby latched together.
