  • Publication number: 20250038458
    Abstract: A connector system includes a connector housing with electrical contacts for engaging counter-contacts of a counter-connector. The system features a lever mechanism with a lever arm connected to the housing via a joint, enabling movement between open and closed positions. In the open position, the counter-connector can be partially mated, while in the closed position, full mating is achieved. The lever includes a securing portion extending through an opening in the housing wall to secure the lever in place. This design facilitates the mating process between the connector and counter-connector, ensuring a reliable and secure electrical connection.

  • Publication number: 20240396248
    Abstract: An electrical connector is disclosed, including an inner housing with at least one cavity aligned parallel to an insertion direction, an outer housing with a mating face accommodating the inner housing, at least one terminal housed in each cavity, and a terminal position assurance device (TPA) positioned between the inner and outer housings. The TPA is fully covered by the outer housing and can be rotated about a perpendicular axis to the insertion direction. It transitions between an open position allowing terminal insertion and a closed position securing the terminals in the cavities. Actuating means on the outer housing facilitate TPA movement as the inner housing is inserted from an initial to a final position, ensuring proper terminal locking within the deepest functional position of the outer housing.

  • Publication number: 20240396249
    Abstract: An electrical connector is disclosed, including an inner housing with multiple cavities, an outer housing accommodating the inner housing, two terminals housed in the cavities, and a primary lock reinforcement device (PLR). The PLR is mounted on the inner housing and can be moved parallel to the longitudinal direction between three positions: a locking position where the PLR is covered by the outer housing and provides secondary locking means, an intermediate position where the terminals are locked in their final positions, and an unlocking position where the terminals are released. This design allows for secure locking of terminals within the connector while providing ease of unlocking for maintenance or replacement purposes.
