International Classification:

H01R 1344

US Classification:

439130, 439125, 439913, 73115, 123635

Abstract:

Multiple annular electrical connectors are each positioned floatably through a respective aperture of a tray. A shield plate is secured over the tray by bolts which thread into a cylinder head. The shield plate has holes centered above the apertures for access to spark plugs disposed below. Each annular electrical connector is centered about an annular pressure sensing device which encompasses the spark plug. The inboard side of the electrical connector is in electrical contact with the outboard side of the sensing device beneath the tray. Insulated wires extend between the tray and shield plate from each electrical connector and connect to a common panel mounted electrical connector at one end of the tray.

International Classification:

B60J 506

US Classification:

439162, 296155

Abstract:

A vehicle wiring assembly for supplying power to a sliding door even when the door is open. The assembly includes a wire bundle having a first end attached to the vehicle and a second end attached to a predetermined position on the sliding door. The assembly also includes a spring mechanism attached at one end to the vehicle and at the other end to the wire bundle at a position spaced from the first end of the wire bundle. The basic assembly also includes a bundle guide â disposed along the wire bundle between the spring mechanism and the second end of the wire bundle , where the bundle guide â slidably supports the wire bundle as it extends from the vehicle to the door. The bundle guide â attaches to the vehicle adjacent the sliding door.

Delphi Technologies, Inc. - Troy MI

International Classification:

H01R 1122

US Classification:

439852, 439268

Abstract:

A zero terminal insertion force electrical connection assembly. A female terminal features a barrel having a floor, a roof and an opening. Connected to the floor is a tongue which curves inwardly and upwardly into the barrel, and has an interface surface located adjacent the roof when the tongue is in a relaxed state. A boss feature is connected to the tongue and passes though an aperture in the roof when the tongue is in its relaxed state. A zero insertion force member is slidably interfaced with the barrel such that at a first position, the boss feature projects fully through the aperture. However, when slid to a second position, the zero insertion force member presses upon the boss feature so as to cause the tongue to be resiliently depressed toward the floor and allow a male terminal to be slid receivingly into the barrel without any contact with the tongue. Yet, when the zero insertion force member is returned to the first position the tongue resiliently rebounds such that the interface surface of the tongue is in good abutting electrical contact with the male terminal by virtue of the resilient normal force of the tongue.

Delphi Technologies, Inc. - Troy MI

International Classification:

H01R 13502

US Classification:

439701, 439874, 439347, 439634

Abstract:

An electrical connector utilizing a plurality of terminals to which wires have been ultrasonically welded, most preferably via UWTI technology, wherein the terminals are aligned for the welding process and also aligned in the connector via one or more terminal carriers. Terminals are placed into respective seats in two terminal carriers, and wires are then ultrasonically welded to the terminals. The terminal carriers are then superposed and placed into a connector body of the electrical connector. The ultrasonic welding process is implemented by an anvil passing through an aperture in the terminal carriers at each terminal so that it is able to sonically and pressurably co-act with the tip of the ultrasonic welding apparatus to thereby effect an ultrasonic weld of the wire(s) to the respective terminals, preferably through the insulation thereof.

Abstract:

The present invention is an automated wire harness machine () capable of manufacturing a wire harness () unique in-part due to the automation process. The novel wire harness is generally a plurality of bundled, preferably un-stripped, insulated wires (). Each un-stripped end portion () of each wire is preferably terminated to one of a series of electrical connectors () of the wire harness. Each connector has at least one wafer () which houses a plurality of terminals () preferably crimped and electrically terminated to the ends of the wires. The wire harness machine preferably utilizes a pallet () which holds all of the wafers of one wire harness. A conveyor () transports the pallet and wafers through a series of stations which perform automated manufacturing steps. The first station is a terminal inserter () which inserts and locks the terminals within pre-assigned cavities () of the wafers. The next station is an automated wire loader () which measures, cuts and crimps the two ends of each wire into the respective terminals of the loaded wafer assembly.

Edward Bungo - Cortland OH, US

International Classification:

H01R 13/40

US Classification:

439595000

Abstract:

An electrical connector includes a connector body and an electrical terminal. The connector body has a terminal-receiving cavity formed therein. The cavity is defined in part by a wall. A locking member extends from the wall into the cavity. A flexible beam extends into the cavity opposite the wall. A cantilevered terminal stabilizing member extends from the flexible beam into the cavity. When the terminal is received in the cavity so that the flexible beam abuts the terminal biasing the terminal towards the wall and the locking member engages the terminal preventing the terminal from backing out of the cavity through the opening, the terminal stabilizing member abuts the terminal resisting rotational movement of the terminal within the cavity.

International Classification:

H02G 15/08

US Classification:

174 89

Abstract:

A connector assembly is provided having a cable having an outer jacket and inner shield, a cable clamp connected to the cable, and an eyelet. The eyelet has an elongated portion and flange. The flange includes a flange surface near the cable clamp to longitudinally position the eyelet relative to the cable. At least a portion of the elongated portion of the eyelet is crimped to the outer jacket of the cable to substantially prevent relative rotation between the cable and the eyelet.
