Abstract: A connector apparatus including a housing, and a primary lock reinforcement. The housing includes at least one substantially cylindrical coaxial cavity therein. The coaxial cavity has a first end, a second end, and a locking finger. At least one stop is located proximate the second end. A locking finger is positioned intermediate the first end and the second end. The locking finger includes a locking tab, and an unlocking surface. The locking finger is formed to be flexible and capable of flexing between a lock position and an unlock position. The locking finger is biased toward the lock position. The primary lock reinforcement is placed in the housing and has an opening therein corresponding to the second end of the cylindrical coaxial cavity.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a first-housing having a first-electrical-terminal, and a second-housing including a second-electrical-terminal disposed within a protective-shroud. The second-electrical-terminal includes a planar blade-shaped isolator formed of a dielectric material. The planar blade-shaped isolator has a spine, a tip, and a web. The tip includes a plurality of locating-tabs extending along the longitudinal-axis from a mid-line of the tip and overlaying the web. The second-electrical-terminal has a conductor formed of a single piece of electrically conductive-material. The conductor has a first-side that overlays a second-side and defining a U-shaped bend and a gap between the first-side and the second side. The gap is configured to receive the plurality of locating-tabs.

Abstract: An electrical-terminal includes a planar blade-shaped isolator and a conductor. The planar blade-shaped isolator is formed of a dielectric material having a spine, a tip, and a web. The spine extends along a longitudinal-axis. The tip extends along a lateral-axis, and the web extends from the spine and terminates at the tip. The web defines a slot extending in the lateral direction from and normal to the spine. The conductor has a first-side that overlays a second-side and defines a U-shaped bend and a gap between the first-side and the second side. The U-shaped bend is aligned parallel to and opposite the spine. The conductor includes a conductive stand-off located intermediate the first side and the second side of the conductor. The conductive stand-off is disposed within the slot of the web such that the first-side and the second-side are in further electrical contact through the conductive stand-off.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a first-housing, a second-housing, and a connector-position-assurance (CPA) device. The first-housing has two parallel actuation-ribs extending from an outer-surface of the first-housing. The actuation-ribs are aligned parallel to a longitudinal mating-axis of the electrical connector. The second-housing is configured to mate with the first-housing and includes two opposing lugs projecting from a top-surface of the second-housing. The CPA device is slideably mounted to the second-housing and is moveable from a pre-stage-position to a latched-position. The CPA device includes two parallel latching-arms that engage the lugs. The latching-arms are in a relaxed-state when in the pre-stage-position. The actuation-ribs disengage the latching-arms from the lugs when the first-housing is mated with the second-housing. This enables the CPA device to be moved from the pre-stage-position to the latched-position.
