A poke-in terminal includes a main body, a tab terminal socket at a mating end, and a wire socket at a terminating end. The tab terminal socket includes walls forming a tab terminal receptacle configured to receive a tab terminal. Upper and lower beam contacts extend into the tab terminal receptacle to interface with the tab terminal. The wire socket includes walls forming a wire receptacle configured to receive a wire. Poke-in retention beams extend into the wire receptacle to interface with the wire when poked into the wire socket. The wire socket includes a wire release element configured to be actuated to release the poke-in retention beams from the wire.

Poke-in wire connector for power connector assembly

An electrical connector has a housing with a front surface, a rear surface, and side surfaces. A first wall extends between the front surface, the rear surface and the side surfaces. A second wall extends between the front surface, the rear surface and the side surfaces, the second wall having a radiused reference surface. An alignment projection extends from the radiused reference surface in a direction away from the first wall. Compression clips extend from the side surfaces. The compression clips have bases, beams and a latching projections, with the beams extending at angles relative to the side surfaces.

Connector housing for an electrical connector

An electrical connector which can be used to field terminate a cable. The electrical connector includes a housing having a base member and a cover member. An electrical terminal is positioned in a terminal receiving cavity of the housing. The electrical terminal includes an insulation displacement portion and a quick disconnect portion. The insulation displacement portion has insulation displacement slots provide at a first end of the terminal. The quick disconnect portion is positioned at a second end of the terminal.

Wire tap connector with insultation displacement contact

An electrical connector having a housing with positioning projections extending from a first surface. A terminal receiving cavity is provided in the housing. An opening is provided in the first surface and extends to the terminal receiving cavity. A terminal is positioned in the terminal receiving cavity. The terminal has a facing securing face. A terminal retainer is movably mounted to the first surface of the housing. The terminal retainer has a terminal retention projection and retainer positioning projections. As the terminal retainer is moved to a second position, the terminal retention projection cooperates with the securing face of the terminal to prevent movement of the terminal and the retainer positioning projections of the terminal retainer cooperate with the positioning projections of the housing to prevent the movement of the terminal retainer in a direction which is in line with a longitudinal axis of the housing.

Hinged connector feature for terminal retainment and position assurance for high mating cycle applications

An appliance power connector includes a terminal block having a base. The base includes an upper surface and a lower surface. The base includes a pocket. The terminal block includes an upper shroud and a lower shroud. The upper shroud has upper shroud walls extending from the base forming an upper chamber above the upper surface. The lower shroud has lower shroud walls extending from the base forming a lower chamber below the lower surface. The appliance power connector includes a power terminal coupled to the terminal block. The power terminal includes a main body, an upper stud extending from a top of the main body and a lower stud extending from a bottom of the main body. The main body is received in the pocket. The upper stud is located in the upper chamber above the base for connection to an upper power cable terminal. The lower threaded stud is located in the lower chamber below the base for connection to a lower power cable terminal.

Terminal block with coupling capabilities on upper and lower studs

A filter base for receiving a complementary mating filter housing assembly. The filter base includes a base platform having fluid ingress and egress stanchions, and a wire harness assembly including a connector housing integral with or connected to the base platform for establishing an electrical connection between the filter base and the filter housing assembly. The wire harness assembly includes conductors extending between first and second connectors, with one or more resilient contacts provided on the second connector. The connector housing has an upper surface and an oppositely facing lower surface and is dimensioned to receive a first end portion of the one or more contacts. The contacts are flexible from a first position to a second position when a mating portion of the one or more contacts engages a mating connection surface of the filter housing assembly. The mating connection surface may be a circuit pad of a printed circuit board, wherein the contact mating portions are configured to be positioned in mechanical and electrical engagement with the circuit pads when the filter housing assembly is received within the filter base.

Filter base for electronic connection to mating filter housing assembly

A wire harness assembly including a first connector, a second connector, and conductors extending between the first connector and the second connector. Contacts are provided on the second connector. The contacts have termination sections which are mounted on the second connector, compliant sections which extend from the termination sections, and substrate engagement sections which extend from the compliant sections. The substrate engagement sections have curved contact sections which are configured to be positioned in mechanical and electrical engagement with circuit pads of a mating printed circuit board. Embossments are provided on the curved contact sections to provide additional strength and stability to the curved contact sections.

Electrical connector and wire harness assembly with compression contacts

An electrical connector having a first housing and a second housing. The first housing have a first mating face and a first cable receiving face with at least one first terminal receiving cavity which extends from the first cable receiving face to the first mating face. The second housing has a second mating face and a second cable receiving face with at least one second terminal receiving cavity which extends from the second cable receiving face to the second mating face. The second housing is spaced from the first housing. A flexible joining member extends from the first housing to the second housing. The flexible joining member is configured to allow the first housing to move independently of the second housing as the electrical connector is mounted to an electrical component. The first housing can be mated independently to the electrical component from the second housing.

An electrical terminal having a base section, a first contact leg and a second contact leg. The contact legs extend from the base section. The first contact leg has a first generally planar portion. A first curved resilient contact portion extends from a first side of the first planar portion, and a first positioning wall extending from a second side of the first planar portion. The first side of the first planar portion is opposed to the second side of the first planar portion. The second contact leg has a second generally planar portion. A second curved resilient contact portion extends from a first side of the second planar portion, and a second positioning wall extends from a second side of the second planar portion. The first side of the second planar portion is opposed to the second side of the second planar portion.

Electrical terminal for mating with two coplanar tabs

A wire preparation device includes a motor, a device housing coupled to the motor, and a wire spinner held by the device housing. The wire spinner is mechanically connected to the motor via power coupling components. The wire spinner extends to a wire end that protrudes from the device housing. The wire spinner includes a collet sleeve defining a channel configured to receive an end of one or more wires of a cable therein through an opening at the wire end. The wire spinner further includes an outer collar surrounding the collet sleeve and selectively movable relative to the collet sleeve to force the collet sleeve to contract radially inward for releasably securing the one or more wires within the channel. The wire spinner is rotated by the motor relative to the device housing to untwist or straighten the one or more wires secured within the collet sleeve.
