This disclosure details rigid linkages for mounting traction battery packs to portions of a vehicle frame. The rigid linkages are designed to allow the traction battery pack to articulate away from deforming structures of the vehicle frame as part of an energy distribution system. During the articulation, the rigid linkage is capable of conserving its integrity to push the traction battery pack away from the deforming structures, thereby preventing the deforming structures from contacting the traction battery pack.

This disclosure describes high voltage electrical connector assemblies for connecting components of electrified vehicles or components of any other type of power connection/power transfer system. Exemplary high voltage electrical connector assemblies include blocking devices adapted for blocking disconnection from a mating connector without first using a separate tool to remove the blocking device.

Electrical connectors with disconnection blocking features

A mass air flow sensor including a housing , an air foil element , and at least one sensor element mounted on the surface of the air foil element , whereby disruption to the air flow is minimized and performance of the mass air flow sensor in lower air flows is improved.
