A charging inlet assembly includes a housing extending between a front and a rear. The housing has DC terminal channels and AC terminal channels. The charging inlet assembly includes AC terminals, include a proximity terminal and a ground terminal, received in the corresponding AC terminal channels. The charging inlet assembly includes DC terminals received in the corresponding DC terminal channels. The charging inlet assembly includes a proximity resistor assembly having a plug body holding a resistor, a first resistor conductor and a second resistor conductor. The first resistor conductor is coupled between the resistor and the terminating end of the proximity terminal. The second resistor conductor is coupled between the resistor and the terminating end of the ground terminal.

An electrical connector with a housing having a mounting opening with a mounting projection. An outwardly facing wall of the mounting projection has at least one detent. A fixed member has a fixed member opening. The fixed member opening has an inner surface with at least one deflectable member which extends from the inner surface into the fixed member opening. A gap is provided between the inner surface of the fixed member opening and the outwardly facing wall of the mounting projection. The mounting projections are able to float radially with the gap. The at least one deflectable member cooperates with the first detent to retain the electrical connector assembly in a pre-staged position.

Floatable connector and wire harness tray

An electrical connector assembly having a housing, a terminal alignment plate and an independent secondary lock member. The terminal alignment plate has secondary lock engagement surfaces. The independent secondary lock member has terminal alignment plate engagement surfaces. When the independent secondary lock member is in the open position, the terminal alignment plate engagement surfaces engage the secondary lock engagement surfaces of the terminal alignment plate to retain the terminal alignment plate in the protecting position and prevent the terminal alignment plate from being moved to the fully inserted position. When the independent secondary lock member is in the closed position, the terminal alignment plate engagement surfaces do not engage the secondary lock engagement surfaces of the terminal alignment plate, allowing the terminal alignment plate to be moved to the fully inserted position.

A floatable connector is provided that includes a housing and a bushing. The housing includes at least one mounting ear. The mounting ear has an aperture therethrough and at least one deflectable finger that extends into the aperture from an inner surface defining the aperture. The bushing is loaded into the aperture. The bushing includes a stem between a first flange and a second flange. The bushing defines a channel therethrough. The diameter of the aperture of the mounting ear is greater than the diameter of an outer surface of the stem such that an axially extending gap is formed between the inner surface of the mounting ear and the outer surface of the stem. The housing is floatable radially within the gap relative to the bushing.

A pass-through connector system is provided that includes a receptacle assembly and a pass-through connector. The receptacle assembly has a mounting ear at least proximate to a mounting end. The mounting ear defines an aperture therethrough that receives a fastener to mount the receptacle assembly to a substrate. A diameter of the aperture of the mounting ear is greater than an outer diameter of the fastener such that a gap is formed between the mounting ear and the fastener. The pass-through connector extends through a window in a panel that at least partially surrounds the substrate. The pass-through connector has a shroud at a plug end that defines an opening to a cavity. The receptacle assembly is floatable radially within the gap relative to the fastener to allow the shroud to guide the receptacle assembly into alignment with the cavity of the pass-through connector during mating.

Pass-through connector system

An electrical connector assembly is disclosed having a main housing portion, camming slide mounting in camming slide receiving guides of the main housing portion, a wire guide and a lever. The lever is operably coupled to the camming slides to translate the camming slides upon rotation of the lever. The lever is mounted to the wire guide, and the combination of the wire guide and the lever are reversible to reverse the orientation of the wires in the wire dress.

An electrical connector includes a dielectric housing having at least one contact cavity extending along a longitudinal axis between a mating end and an opposite contact loading end. A primary terminal lock extends from an interior wall of the housing and is configured to engage a terminal contact to retain the terminal contact in the at least one contact cavity. A secondary locking member is integrally formed with the housing. The secondary locking member has a flexible hinge member proximate the contact loading end that pivotably connects the secondary locking member to the housing. The secondary locking member includes an engagement end that is received in the housing in a direction transverse to the axis of the at least one contact cavity to provide a visible indication of a seating condition of the terminal contact.
