Abstract: An electrical connector includes a first-housing, a second-housing, a slideable-skirt, and a terminal-lock. The second-housing is configured to mate with the first-housing along a longitudinal-mating-axis. The second-housing defines a slot in a top-side of the second-housing extending along a lateral-axis orthogonal to the longitudinal-mating-axis. The slideable-skirt is mounted to the second-housing and is moveable from a pre-stage position to a seated-position along the longitudinal-mating-axis. The slideable-skirt overlays a portion of a perimeter of the second-housing and defines cam-slots on a first-side and a second-side of the slideable-skirt. The terminal-lock is disposed within the slot and is moveable from a terminal insertion position to a locking position. The terminal-lock includes cam-posts extending from a first-end and a second-end of the terminal-lock disposed within the cam-slots. The terminal-lock moves from the terminal insertion position to the locking position as the slideable-skirt is moved from the pre-stage position to the seated-position.

Abstract: A connector having a connector body defining a first protrusion and a connector position assurance (CPA) device in the form of a sleeve axially surrounding the connector body that is moveable along a mating axis. The sleeve defines a second protrusion configured to engage the first protrusion when a first force is applied to the sleeve as the connector is mated with a corresponding mating connector. The second protrusion is configured to slide over the first protrusion and then disengage the first protrusion when a second force is applied to the sleeve, thereby producing a vibratory response in the sleeve. The vibratory response is a tactile vibration or an audible vibration. The second force applied to the sleeve is greater than the first force and the second force may be applied to the sleeve in the same direction as the first force or in the opposite direction.

Abstract: A right angle connector assembly including a first connector having a mating assist slider configured to slide along a first axis defined by the first connector and a second connector having a second housing and an intermediate housing attached to the second housing that is configured to slide along a second axis defined by the second connector that is substantially perpendicular to the first axis. The intermediate housing is configured to receive the first connector along the first axis. When the mating assist slider is moved along the first axis from a starting position to and ending position, the mating assist slider moves intermediate housing along the second axis from an initial position to a final position, thereby mating a first terminal within the first connector to a second terminal within the second connector at a right angle or ninety degree orientation.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a first-housing, a second-housing, and a connector-position-assurance (CPA) device. The first-housing has two parallel actuation-ribs extending from an outer-surface of the first-housing. The actuation-ribs are aligned parallel to a longitudinal mating-axis of the electrical connector. The second-housing is configured to mate with the first-housing and includes two opposing lugs projecting from a top-surface of the second-housing. The CPA device is slideably mounted to the second-housing and is moveable from a pre-stage-position to a latched-position. The CPA device includes two parallel latching-arms that engage the lugs. The latching-arms are in a relaxed-state when in the pre-stage-position. The actuation-ribs disengage the latching-arms from the lugs when the first-housing is mated with the second-housing. This enables the CPA device to be moved from the pre-stage-position to the latched-position. The latching-arms return to the relaxed-state when in the CPA device is in the latched-position.

Abstract: A connector includes a first-housing and a second-housing. The first-housing includes a connector-lock. The second-housing is configured to receive the first-housing and includes a connector-latch configured to removably retain the connector-lock when the first-housing is mated with the second-housing. The second-housing includes a connector-position-assurance (CPA)-device slidably mounted to the second-housing and movable from a disengaged-position to an engaged-position. The CPA-device applies a retention-force to the connector-latch. The retention-force deflects the connector-latch thereby applying the retention-force to the first-housing when the first-housing is mated with the second-housing and the CPA-device is in the engaged-position.

Abstract: A connector assembly, such as a high voltage electrical connector assembly, includes a first connector having a first housing and an intermediate housing attached to the first housing. The intermediate housing is moveable from a first position to a second position. A flexible retaining arm is configured to hold the intermediate housing in the first position. The connector assembly further includes a second connector having a second housing. The second housing defines a release wedge that engages and flexes the retaining arm, thereby releasing the intermediate housing from engagement with the retaining arm and allowing the intermediate housing to move from the first position to the second position as the first connector is connected to the second connector. A terminal in the first housing is enclosed within the intermediate housing in the first position, and protrudes from an aperture in a surface of the intermediate housing in the second position.

Abstract: An electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) assembly for an electric vehicle (EV) or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), often referred to as, optionally having one of at least two interchangeable power supply cords with plugs that conform to different technical standards, such as National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) 5-15P or 6-20P. The interchangeable power supply cord plugs each include a thermistor adapted to monitor plug temperatures. The electronic module is configured to disable charging until a proper resistance of the thermistor in the plug is detected. The electronic module is also configured to automatically switch between 120 volt and 240 volt operation based on which of the interchangeable power supply cords is connected to the electronic module.
