Appl. No.:

7/105040

Inventors:

Michael J. Dougherty - Lansdale PA
Robert E. MacMullin - Exton PA

Assignee:

Microdot Inc. - Darien CT

International Classification:

H01R 13639

US Classification:

439 34

Abstract:

An improved electrical connector system for connecting an electronic control system to electrically adjustable automotive suspension components, such as shock absorbers and MacPherson struts, features ease of connectibility and serviceability, superior electrical insulation, fewer individual components, and increased reliability. More specifically, the connector assembly features recessed, axially elongated contacts; integral latching strain relief caps; positive keying surfaces to ensure proper connector orientation; latching arms for removably attaching the connector system to the suspension component; and at least one seal radially disposed between the connector system and suspension component housing to prevent moisture penetration thereinto.

Appl. No.:

7/195814

Inventors:

Michael J. Dougherty - Lansdale PA
Alan S. Olshansky - Phoenixville PA

Assignee:

Microdot Inc. - Darien CT

International Classification:

H01R 13428

US Classification:

439751

Abstract:

An improved pin connector system comprising a compliant pin that effects a resilient interference fit within a complementary circular aperture of a printed circuit board. The pin utilizes an improved three beam configuration that optimizes electrical continuity, load distribution and mechanical stability, yet minimizes insertion force. The compliant pin exhibits improved contact wiping upon insertion and superior anti-torque and retention force characteristics after insertion.
