Abstract: A multi-directional wiring routing device and method for operating thereof removably or permanently connects to a female housing of an electrical connector system. The multi-directional wiring routing device secures thereon and directs the wiring, at any desired routing direction, the wiring extending from the female housing. The wiring routing device includes an end portion having a substantially diamond-shape configuration portion, which is fitted into a corresponding substantially diamond-shape opening of the female housing of the electrical connector system. While maintaining the optimal performance of the electrical connector system, a bundle of wiring thereof can be neatly secured and efficiently routed towards any desired direction with the use of the multi-directional wiring routing device.

Abstract: An electrical connector having a squib connector and a squib assembly for mating by moving them together in a mating direction. A retaining means is provided for retaining the squib connector and squib assembly in a fully mated condition. A spring, acting in a direction opposite the mating direction, provides a resisting force to oppose mating. During the application of a mating force to overcome the resisting force of the spring and move the squib connector and squib assembly in the mating direction, and prior to the squib connector and squib assembly reaching the fully mated condition, removal of the resisting force of the spring is triggered and the mating force is instantly applied to moving the squib connector and squib assembly to the fully mated condition, whereat the retaining means is activated. The spring is molded to have features that assure dependable operation of the connector.
