Connector assembly for electrical power supply or transmission in vehicles, comprising first and a second connector devices to be mated according to a mating axis. The first connector device comprises at least one spring device terminated by at least one electrically conductive head, movable in a spring load direction. The second connector device comprises at least one interlock terminal including an electrical conductor and an insulation cap arranged in such a way that, during the mating sequence, the at least one head touches first the insulation cap on one or several insulating areas and then contacts the electrical conductor on one or several conducting areas. Each of the one or several insulating areas is offset laterally with respect to each of the one or several conducting areas, according to a lateral direction perpendicular to the mating axis and to the spring load direction.

Connector device and connector assembly for vehicle electrical power supply or transmission in a vehicle

An electrical connector assembly including a first connector and a second connector. The first connector includes a socket and the second connector including a sleeve, the socket being adapted to surround the sleeve. A sealing system includes a frontward portion surrounding the sleeve and a rearward portion surrounding a rear housing of the second connector.

Electrical connector assembly

The present invention relates to a method for unmating an electrical connector assembly wherein the movement for unmating the first and second connectors is temporarily blocked after interlocking contacts are disconnected and before the power contacts are disconnected. The invention also relates to a connector system and a connector assembly offering such functions.
