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 terminal with a contact portion and a spring arm and a method of insertion. The contact portion has a mating terminal receiving cavity. The spring arm extends from a bottom wall into the mating terminal receiving cavity. The spring arm has a fixed end, a free end and a transition section extending between the fixed end and the free end. The bottom wall has an opening with a front wall and a rear wall. The spring arm extends from the front wall toward the rear wall. A coined area is provided proximate the rear wall of the opening on the bottom wall. The spring arm acts initially as a single supported cantilever beam and then, upon deflection, acts as a double supported beam.

Electrical terminal with resilient contact arm with low insertion force and high normal force

A receptacle terminal for receipt of a mating terminal therein. The receptacle terminal has a contact portion including a bottom wall and resilient contact arms which extend from the bottom wall. The resilient contact arms have resilient contact sections and mating terminal engagement members. The mating terminal engagement members have a projection receiving opening. A spring arm extends from the bottom wall toward the mating terminal engagement members. The spring arm has a projection which extends from the spring arm to create a raised area on an inner surface of the spring arm to engage the mating terminal. Prior to the receipt of the mating terminal, the projection of the spring arm is positioned in the projection receiving opening of the mating terminal engagement members, allowing the portions of the spring arm to be positioned proximate the mating terminal engagement members.

Low insertion force tab receptacle

An electrical connector is provided that includes a housing, terminals, and a stuffer. The housing has a plurality of terminal channels extending from a rear to a front of the housing. The front of the housing is configured to interface with a mating connector. The terminals are loaded into corresponding terminal channels from the rear of the housing. The terminals extend along a terminal axis between a mating end and a terminating end. The terminating end includes at least one tab that protrudes radially outward from the terminal axis. The stuffer is coupled to the rear of the housing. The stuffer includes multiple teeth received in corresponding terminal channels. When one terminal is not fully loaded in the terminal channel, the corresponding tooth engages one or more of the at least one tab of the terminal and forces the terminal further into the terminal channel.

Electrical connector with terminal position assurance

A connector module for receiving a signal converter and electrically connecting the signal converter to a printed circuit board mounted within an electronic system. The connector module includes a conductive cage having a plurality of press-fit type pins and a shielding lid. The connector module further defines a top opening and a cavity with an opening on a bottom portion of the conductive cage for receiving the connector which electrically connecting with the signal converter. The shielding lid covers on the top opening. The connector comprises a plurality of contacts each having a press-fit end, said press-fit ends extending toward the printed circuit board and mounting therein.

Connector module

An electrical connector ( ) for contacting with a complementary connector includes an insulative housing ( ), a number of terminals ( ) retained in the insulative housing and a shield ( ) enclosing the insulative housing. The shield includes a keying means ( ) extending outwardly from a surface thereof for engaging with the complementary connector.
