  • Publication number: 20240145975
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes a terminal housing with one or more terminal cavities and a slot. The electrical connector also includes a terminal position assurance. The terminal position assurance includes a base, two sliders that extend from the base in an assurance direction, and a lock arm that extends from the base in the assurance direction. The terminal position assurance is supported on slot by the sliders for movement relative to the terminal housing.

  • Publication number: 20240145977
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes a housing that is adapted to mate with a corresponding electrical connector. A connector latch is attached to the housing and is adapted to retain the housing in a mounted position on the corresponding connector. A connector position assurance is also attached to the connector latch. The connector position assurance is movable from a pre-lock position to an assurance position when the housing is attached to the corresponding connector. A block engages the connector position assurance when the connector position assurance is moved from the pre-lock position to the assurance position. The block resists movement of the connector position assurance to the assurance position.

  • Publication number: 20240087775
    Abstract: A electrical pass-through includes a housing and a cap assembly. The housing has a cap lock and a cable opening that extends through the housing and that defines a cable axis. The cable opening has a non-circular cross-sectional shape when viewed perpendicularly relative to the cable axis. The cap assembly has a cap base and a cap catch. A cap opening extends through the cap base and the cable axis extends through the cap opening. The cap assembly movable relative to the housing to a locked position wherein the cap catch engages the cap lock to retain the cap assembly in the locked position relative to the housing.

  • Publication number: 20230216228
    Abstract: Contact members and electrical terminals are described. An example contact member has a first panel, a second panel, and an interspace defined between the first panel and the second panel. Each of the first and second panels has a plurality of posts. Each post of the plurality of posts has a plurality of slots and a contact point. Each slot of the plurality of slots is disposed adjacent to the contact point. Each post of the plurality of posts extends into the interspace such that the contact point is disposed within the interspace. Each post of the plurality of posts is moveable between a first position and a second position to accommodate retention of an electrically conductive structure and an electrical connection between the electrically conductive structure and the contact member.
