Inventors:

Ronald Curtis Hodge - Kokomo IN

Assignee:

Delco Electronics Corporation - Kokomo IN

International Classification:

B65D 5116

US Classification:

2203661

Abstract:

A differential pressure sensor having a vent to atmosphere and mounted where it is subject to water spray has a vent cap which protects against spray entering the vent and prohibits water residing along the cap edges from being drawn into the vent. The vent is surrounded by an upstanding collar and the vent cap snaps onto the collar. A shroud extends laterally from one side of the cap to a point beyond the sensor package and further extends down below the upper surface of the package. The shroud is open at the bottom to afford an air passage to the vent as well as a baffle against spray.

International Classification:

H01R 12/91
H01R 13/187
H01R 13/631
H01R 25/16

Abstract:

A socket connector is configured to mount to a component, such as a printed circuit board. The socket connector includes a base having a passageway and a channel extending outwardly from the passageway, a barrel including a wall having a flange extending outwardly therefrom, at least one biasing member engaging the flange and surrounding the wall, and a contact seated within the barrel. The wall is seated within the passageway and the flange is seated within the channel. The barrel is configured for movement within the base to align a centerline of a pin inserted into the socket connector with a centerline of the hole of the component.
