  • Patent number: 5207587
    Abstract: An electrical distribution center electrically interconnects electrical and electronic devices and electrical connectors of wiring harnesses. The electrical distribution center comprises a main bus plate that includes a plurality of stamped metal circuit components that are insert molded in an insulation board. The stamped metal circuit components have a plurality of male blade terminals that project outwardly of the insulation board and that include wire receiving slots. The main bus plate is sandwiched between upper and lower bus plates that each include a plurality of wire circuit components in an insulated routing board that has slots extending through it. The male blade terminals of the main bus plate project through the slots of the upper and lower bus plates for connection with the electrical and electronic components and the electrical connectors of the wiring harnesses.

  • Patent number: 4959633
    Abstract: A temperature sender has a spring biased thermistor located in a temperature probe housing; the housing is adapted to be connected to a female connector cover defining a receptacle for a mating connector; a multiple segment flat element terminal is molded in-situ of the cover and one of the terminal segments is located in the temperature probe housing and has connector means thereon which connect to and align a biasing spring with respect to the thermistor; two of the multiple segments are located in the receptacle with one of them serving the dual function of indexing the mating connector to the female connector cover and defining a probe point for testing electrical continuity between the terminal and thermistor and the second one of the other segments serving to electrically connect the mating connector to the thermistor to complete a sender circuit.
