A pressure relief valve () includes a housing () that has a side wall () that defines an air flow passage (). A valve element () has a closed condition that prevents air flow through the air flow passage () and an open condition that permits air flow through the air flow passage (). A first insert () is connected to the valve element (). A second insert () is connected to the side wall (). The first insert () and the second insert () cooperate using magnetic forces to urge the valve element () to the closed condition. At least one of the first insert () and the second insert () is positioned within the air flow passage ().

Pressure relief valve

An apparatus (or) for use in venting a compartment of a vehicle includes valve elements (andorand). A biasing spring (or) is effective to urge one of the valve elements toward a closed condition. A spring connection (or) is effective to transmit torque urging the one valve element (or) toward a closed condition. Another valve element () may overlie the one valve element (). Alternatively, the valve elements (and) may be spaced from each other.

A terminal module is provided, such as for use in a modular jack assembly. The module includes a dielectric body having a pair of body halves with opposing faces. A plurality of terminals have mounting portions embedded in the opposing faces of the body halves. The terminals are securely captured in the dielectric body when the mounting portions are sandwiched between the body halves.
