Abstract: A wire dress cover configured to attach to a connector housing containing a terminal includes a tab extending from the cover and configured for insertion into a slot defined in the connector housing. The tab features a locking surface that contacts a wall of the slot, the locking surface and wall cooperating to urge a contact surface of the cover against the terminal within the connector housing, thereby maintaining secure electrical engagement and providing strain relief.

Abstract: An electrical splice connector may include a first splice terminal crimped to a first wire conductor of a first wire cable and crimped to a first wire conductor of a second wire cable. An electrical splice connector may include a second splice terminal crimped to a second wire conductor of the first wire cable and crimped to a second wire conductor of the second wire cable. An electrical splice connector include a dividing insulator formed of a dielectric material having a first cavity in which the first splice terminal is disposed and having a second cavity in which the second splice terminal is disposed. The second cavity is separated from the first cavity by a wall formed of the dielectric material.

Abstract: A wire seal assembly configured to seal a wire cable to a connector housing of an electrical connector includes a seal reinforcement device configured to be substantially rigid along a first axis. The wire seal assembly also has a compliant cable seal that is disposed within the seal reinforcement device and is in compressive contact with the wire cable. The wire seal assembly further incorporates a compliant housing seal axially that surrounds the seal reinforcement device. The housing seal is in compressive contact with the connector housing.

Abstract: A connector assembly includes a connector body having a terminal cavity and a cantilevered resilient primary terminal locking arm configured to secure a terminal. The terminal defines a terminal release ramp and a locking ridge. The connector assembly also includes a primary lock reinforcement (PLR) device having a cantilevered resilient secondary terminal locking arm that inhibits the PLR device from moving from a pre-staged position to a fully staged position prior to the terminal being inserted into the terminal cavity due to a blocking condition between the secondary terminal locking arm and a cavity wall of the terminal cavity. The secondary terminal locking arm flexes outwardly as the terminal is inserted within the terminal cavity, thereby clearing the blocking condition. The PLR device has a side wall that inhibits outward flexing of the primary terminal locking arm.

Abstract: A dress cover designed to house and guide an elongate conductor is disclosed herein. The dress cover includes a flange for connection to a connector and a conductor conduit that is rotatably affixed to the flange. The conductor conduit can be secured in various radial orientations with respect to the flange, providing flexibility in directing the conductor within the dress cover. This innovative design allows for efficient containment and guidance of the conductor, enhancing the functionality and versatility of the dress cover in various applications.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes an electrical terminal, a terminal module in which the electrical terminal is disposed, a connector housing having a primary locking mechanism configured to secure the terminal module within the connector housing, a secondary locking mechanism also configured to secure the terminal module within the connector housing, and a retainer attached to the connector housing and configured to maintain compressive contact between the secondary locking mechanism and the terminal module. The secondary locking mechanism further includes a wire seal assembly that has a rigid tube, a compliant tubular inner seal axially disposed within the rigid tube, and a compliant tubular outer seal axially surrounding the rigid tube.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes an electrical terminal defining a pair of retaining ridges, a connector housing having a terminal cavity extending therethrough from a first opening to a second opening and a fixed terminal lock nib that projects inwardly into the terminal cavity from a rigid first wall to engage a first ridge of the pair of retaining ridges of the electrical terminal, and a terminal retainer inserted within the connector housing proximate the first opening and removably retained to the connector housing by a flexible retaining arm. The terminal retainer further includes a flexible terminal lock arm having a moveable terminal lock nib that projects inwardly into the terminal cavity from the flexible terminal lock arm to engage a second ridge of the pair of retaining ridges of the electrical terminal, thereby inhibiting removal of the electrical terminal from the terminal cavity through the second opening.
