Latest Patents

Hollin’s listed patent, “Electrical Connector System with a Male Terminal Assembly Having a Compression Limiting Means,” describes a system with male and female connector assemblies. The male terminal assembly includes a male terminal, a spring member with a bent contact arm, and an openable jacket enclosing much of the terminal and spring member. A compression-limiting feature helps prevent external force from pushing the contact arm inward too far, reducing the risk of damage that could make the connector system inoperable. The female housing is designed to receive its terminal assembly and part of the male terminal assembly when the connectors are joined. Hollin is credited with 1 patent.
