Abstract: An electrical connector including a housing having a receiving area for receiving a portion of a mating connector; coaxial electrical contacts connected to the housing; and a ferrite member located in the housing. The housing comprises ribs projecting inwardly into the receiving area. The ribs are adapted to allow the housing to be mated to the mating connector in at least two orientations. When the electrical connector is attached to the mating connector, the ribs are adapted to prevent rotation of the housing relative to the mating connector. The electrical connector further includes a connector position assurance (CPA) member movably attached to the housing. The CPA member includes a portion adapted to contact a section of a second one of the electrical contacts to move the section when the CPA member is moved from an unlatched position towards a latch position.

Abstract: An electrical connector including a housing, electrical contacts and a connector position assurance (CPA) member. The housing has deflectable cantilevered mating connector latch arms. The latch arms are movable between a latched position and an unlatched position. The CPA member is movably mounted to the housing between an open position and a closed position. The CPA member includes a first section and a deflectable second section. The second section includes a cam surface for contacting a housing of the mating electrical connector and being deflected as the CPA member is moved from the open position to the closed position and an interference portion adapted to contact the latch arms when the latch arms are not in their latched position such that the CPA member is blocked from reaching the closed position unless the latch arms are in their latched positions.

A first edge of the positioning section can contact a rear edge of a ferrite hood positioned onto the second female connection section. At least a portion of the outer perimeter of, the positioning section can contact an interior wall of a contact receiving hole of a connector housing for aligning the second female connection section in the contact receiving hole.

Abstract: An igniter shorting contact for an igniter connector including a base, at least one deflectable contact arm, and a contact leg. The base is adapted to be mounted to an insulating housing member of a housing of the igniter connector. The deflectable contact arm(s) extend from the base and are adapted to contact electrical terminals of the igniter connector. The contact leg extends from the base. The contact leg is adapted to extend radially outward relative to the insulating housing and contact an outer electrically conductive housing member of the igniter connector.

Abstract: An electrical coaxial connector ground terminal comprising a first connection section and a second connection section. The first connection section is adapted for connecting the terminal to an electrical conductor. The second connection section is connected to the first connection section for removably electrically connecting the terminal to a mating terminal. The second connection section comprises a general C shaped section with protrusions spaced along an outer perimeter side of the general C shaped section. The protrusions form outwardly facing contact surfaces for the second connection section.
