Abstract
A connector assembly is disclosed that includes a base with an embedded printed circuit board (PCB) and a plurality of signal pins. The plurality of signal pins electrically couple the PCB to a vehicle harness. The connector assembly includes a mating connector for mechanically coupling the connect assembly to the vehicle harness and a spring between the mating connector and the base. The spring pre-loads and axially secures the base to the mating connector. The connector assembly transmits vehicle signals through a wireless connection with vehicle and/or remote locations.
