Abstract: A compliant connector for a connection system in an internal combustion engine includes a cylindrical connector housing and a plurality of constant strain beam springs at one end of the connector housing to act as a self-centering/self-aligning mechanism in the connection system.

Abstract: An electrical connector is plugged onto an electrical device that has a hollow sleeve and an annular bonnet that has an outer electrical contact ring. The electrical connector includes an annular insulator, a lower elastomeric seal ring, a combination seal and contact member, a shielded conductor to carry an electrical signal out of the electrical connector and a flanged metal guard ring. The combination seal and contact member has a non-conductive elastomeric annulus and a conductive elastomeric portion that are co-molded to provide a unitary annular part. The annulus has a flanged upper end that is bonded to the flanged guard ring and a thinner lower end that has a plurality of axially spaced circumferential flexible sealing lips that biasingly engage the bonnet above the outer electrical contact ring.
