  • Publication number: 20230361496
    Abstract: An electrical assembly may include a circuit board, a terminal header connected to the circuit board and including a plurality of aperture, and/or a plurality of electrical terminals connected to the terminal header. The plurality of electrical terminals may include a first electrical terminal having a first terminal configuration and/or a second electrical terminal having a second terminal configuration. The plurality of apertures may include a first aperture, a second aperture, and/or a third aperture. The first electrical terminal may include a first terminal first tail disposed at least partially in the first aperture. The second electrical terminal may include a second terminal first tail disposed at least partially in the second aperture. The second electrical terminal may include a second terminal second tail disposed at least partially in the third aperture.

  • Patent number: 11706867
    Abstract: A system is described for providing an electrical ground connection for a circuit assembly. The system may include a housing for the circuit assembly, the housing having an electrically conductive fixation member configured for attachment to an electrically conductive element outside the housing. The system may also include an electrically conductive feature having a first end and a second end, the first end configured to cooperate with the electrically conductive fixation member inside the housing and the second end configured for attachment to the circuit assembly. Attachment of the electrically conductive fixation member to the electrically conductive element outside the housing enables an electrical ground connection for the circuit assembly via the electrically conductive feature.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10340616
    Abstract: An electrical terminal includes a body, a first tab extending from a first side of the body, and a second tab extending from a second side of the body. The second tab may be vertically offset, in a longitudinal direction of the body, from the first tab. The first tab and the second tab may extend in substantially opposite directions. An offset distance between the first tab and the second tab may be less than about half of a height of the first tab. The first tab may be disposed such that upon connection of the electrical terminal with a circuit board, the first tab contacts a surface of the circuit board. The second tab may be disposed such that upon connection of the electrical terminal with said circuit board, the second tab does not contact the circuit board.
