Patent number: 9774247Abstract: A direct current (DC) link capacitor operable within an electrically drivable vehicle having a high-voltage battery is provided configured to facilitate output of a DC voltage to an inverter configured to process the DC voltage to facilitate powering an electric motor used to drive the vehicle. The DC link capacitor includes a housing enclosing capacitive elements configured to facilitate capacitive processing between an input and an output, at least a first pair of terminals configured to deliver the DC voltage to the input, the capacitive elements processing the DC voltage received at the input into a capacitive DC voltage, and at least a second pair of terminals configured to output the capacitive DC voltage to the inverter, the inverter relying on the capacitive DC voltage to facilitate powering the electric motor.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2015Date of Patent: September 26, 2017Assignee: Lear CorporationInventors: Nadir Sharaf, Yu Qin, Reshma Rathod, Richard J. Hampo

Patent number: 9030822Abstract: A cooling system is operable to facilitate cooling a power module or other electronic assembly. The cooling system may be configured to facilitate cooling a DC/AC inverter or other electronic assembly where two power modules may be arranged in an opposing relationship relative to a coolant passageway. The opposing relationship may be suitable to minimizing a packaging size and footprint required to facilitate interacting both power modules with the coolant flow.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2011Date of Patent: May 12, 2015Assignee: Lear CorporationInventors: Nadir Sharaf, Yu Qin, Reshma Rathod, Richard J.

Patent number: 8951066Abstract: An electrical connector includes an electrical terminal and a housing having a front end and a back end with an opening configured to receive the electrical terminal therethrough. The housing includes a first lock system configured to allow insertion of the electrical terminal into the housing and prohibit removal of the electrical terminal from the housing. The housing is configured such that the first lock system is accessible from the front of the housing to release the electrical terminal from the first lock system. A second lock system is configured for insertion into the housing to prohibit removal of the electrical terminal from the housing independently from the first lock system.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2012Date of Patent: February 10, 2015Assignee: Lear CorporationInventors: Michael Glick, Cecil Lamar Brown, II, David Menzies, Reshma Rathod, Brantley Natter, Slobodan Pavlovic, Sheikh Habibur Rahman

Patent number: 8678867Abstract: A terminal is provided with a body sized to be received within a receptacle. A distal region extends lengthwise from the body in a receptacle direction. At least one portion of the distal region extends centrally inward into the receptacle to receive a pin to deform and maintain contact with the received pin. A lengthwise extending proximal region is connected to the body and spaced apart from the distal region. At least one portion of the proximal region extends radially outward to engage a side wall of the receptacle to enhance contact of the terminal with the receptacle. A receptacle assembly is provided for receiving one or a plurality of terminals.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2011Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: Lear CorporationInventors: Michael Glick, Slobodan Pavlovic, Allen Leo Mott, Reshma Rathod
