Abstract: A right-angled connector is disclosed, including a connector housing with a forward stop surface designed to secure a right-angled terminal in a terminal cavity. The right-angled terminal features a connection section for interfacing with a corresponding terminal and an attachment section for conductor attachment. A cover, attached to the connector housing, encloses the terminal cavity and includes a rearward stop surface to limit the motion of the connection section to less than 0.5 mm along the connection axis. This design ensures precise positioning and retention of the right-angled terminal within the connector, enhancing stability and reliability of connections.

Abstract: Disclosed is detecting the position of an actuator element of an actuator arrangement, having at least one actuator element movable in two opposing directions by two adjustment elements. The adjustment elements electrically connected via only one two-wire connection to a control unit comprise electrically controllable shape memory alloy wires. A resistance measurement circuit formed in the control unit periodically records the resistance values of the two adjustment elements. At an energization time of a currently actuated adjustment element, the resistance value of the adjustment element and, in a subsequent pause in energization, the resistance value of another adjustment element is determined and stored. The differential value of the two resistance values is compared with pairs of values which are stored in a table and describe a correlation between the resistance differential value and a position of the adjustment element, to determine the position of the actuator element.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly has a housing, that houses at least one electrical contact and a mating lever that is arranged pivotable relative to the housing between an alignment position and a mating position. The mating lever is engageable with the electrical counter connector assembly, in order to move the electrical counter connector assembly along a mating direction A relative to the housing into a mated configuration, when being pivoted from the alignment position to the mating position. A connector position assurance member is arranged moveable relative to the housing so as to be moveable into a locked position, and an elastic element. The elastic element is associated with the connector position assurance member and urges the connector position assurance member into the locked position when the mating lever is in the mating position, so that the connector position assurance member locks the mating lever in the mating position.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a connector assembly. The connector assembly includes a connector housing adapted to engage with a corresponding counter-connector housing. A lever including a first lever arm and a second lever arm is pivotably and sealingly mounted to the connector housing. Each lever arm includes interlocking means for connecting the first lever arm to the second lever arm at a first location. The interlocking means of each of the first lever arm and the second lever arm are configured to define complementary symmetrical surfaces that interlock with one another when the lever arms are pivotably mounted to the connector housing. On mounting the lever arms to the connector housing, the lever is configured to move about the connector housing between an open state and a closed state to secure the counter-connector housing to the connector housing.
