Abstract: A bobbin assembly is provided for sealing with the end section of a coil of wire as it exits the housing of an automotive electrical component. The assembly includes a bobbin for receiving and carrying the coil of wire. A cap couples with the housing so as to restrain the coiled wire therein. The cap includes an aperture adapted to receive the end section of the wire therethrough. A bobbin tower distends from the bobbin and includes therein a slot for receiving, coupling and sealing with the end section of the wire, and for coupling with and sealing against the cap adjacent the aperture therein. The bobbin tower is compressed between the housing and the cap for compressing a crown section of the bobbin tower into the aperture in the cap. A method for using the bobbin assembly is also provided.

Abstract: The present invention provides a unique connector adapted to connect the first ends of two different conductors to a standard solenoid cap of an automobile. The second ends of the two different conductors are adapted to be connected to the battery of an automobile. The connector assembly is comprised of a connector assembly having a housing member that is adapted to accept and retain the first ends of the first and second conductors and connect them to, respectively, an eyelet and a female spade terminal. The connector assembly serves to orient the first and second conductors and the eyelet and female spade terminal attached thereto in such a manner that securing the eyelet to a screw stud of the standard solenoid cap also serves to simultaneously engage the female spade terminal with a male spade terminal of the standard solenoid cap.
