Female And Male Electrical Connectors Requiring Low Insertion Forces

View page
US Patent:
56905181, Nov 25, 1997
Filed:
Mar 7, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/610801
Inventors:
Dhirendra C. Roy - Canton MI
Zenon Hotra - Troy MI
Steven K. Heckman - Fort Wayne IN
Assignee:
United Technologies Automotive, Inc. - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
H01R 1305
H01R 1362
US Classification:
439851
Abstract:
A female electrical connector has a wire attachment segment and a receptacle segment. A pair of apertures are juxtapositioned within the receptacle segment circumferentially separated from one another by solid portions of the receptacle segment therebetween. A male electrical connector has a wire attachment segment, a bulged segment and a shaft segment. The male electrical connector has a longitudinal channel positioned within the shaft segment. Considered individually or together, these electrical connectors substantially reduce required insertion forces.

Junction Box Having Integrally Formed Shunt

View page
US Patent:
53009177, Apr 5, 1994
Filed:
Jan 15, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/006438
Inventors:
H. Winston Maue - Northville MI
Zenon Hotra - Troy MI
Tomoyuki Yamai - Seri-machi, Hikone, Shiga Pref., 522, JP
International Classification:
H01C 700
H02B 120
US Classification:
338 49
Abstract:
A junction box incorporating an integrally formed shunt busbar. The shunt busbar incorporates a first pair of terminals to act as leads to couple the shunt busbar in a current loop of a circuit, and a second pair of terminals to couple a voltage sensing device across a portion of the shunt busbar. The voltage sensing device is preferably a high input impedance voltage comparator. The input impedance of the voltage comparator is great enough to negate the affect of the internal resistance of the mating terminals of the busbar. Furthermore, the second pair of terminals is located on the shunt busbar such that the terminal resistances thereof are outside of the current loop. The electrical busbar is preferably mounted in a suitable insulating housing. When the shunt busbar of the present invention is connected to the high input impedance voltage comparator, a circuit path that allows for easily and accurately measuring the voltage drop across the busbar is made possible. This is accomplished while maintaining adequate current flow to the load for testing purposes.

Seal For An Automotive Electrical Connector Assembly

View page
US Patent:
53503112, Sep 27, 1994
Filed:
Jul 30, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/100503
Inventors:
Dhirendra C. Roy - Canton MI
Zenon Hotra - Troy MI
Assignee:
United Technologies Automotive, Inc. - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
H01R 1352
US Classification:
439273
Abstract:
A sealing member of the present invention is used in an automotive vehicle electrical connector assembly and has a pentagonal cross sectional shape thereto with an inside surface defining an aperture centrally therein. A first electrical connector half has an electrical contact proximate therewith and is surrounded by a support structure. A second electrical connector half has an electrical contact proximate therewith and has a body segment and a mating segment within which extends an outer peripheral wall. Furthermore, the second connector half outer peripheral wall has an outside surface and an inside surface which are joined by a peripheral edge therearound. The sealing member is juxtapositioned between the inside surface of the second connector half and the outside surface of the first connector half supporting structure.

Electrical Power Connector

View page
US Patent:
51374641, Aug 11, 1992
Filed:
Apr 16, 1991
Appl. No.:
7/686202
Inventors:
H. Winston Maue - Farmington Hills MI
Zenon Hotra - Troy MI
Vinod T. Patel - Canton MI
Assignee:
United Technologies Automotive, Inc. - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
H01R 13703
H01R 1371
US Classification:
439188
Abstract:
An electrical connector assembly having a first connector mounted to a battery cable, a second connector mounted to a load circuit lead, a connector housing with internal contacts for electrically interconnecting the first and second connectors and a turnbuckle assembly for concurrently driving the first and second connectors to automatically disconnect the power side connector from the internal contacts of the housing when disconnecting the second connector from the housing.

Connector

View page
US Patent:
57795010, Jul 14, 1998
Filed:
Oct 11, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/730533
Inventors:
Zenon Hotra - Troy MI
Brian M. Hood - Clinton Township MI
Assignee:
UT Automotive Dearborn, Inc. - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
H01R 1340
US Classification:
439595
Abstract:
A connector for holding at least one terminal includes a housing and a separate finger assembly. The housing defines a channel and a slot there below. Upon insertion of the finger assembly into the slot, a flexible finger extends into the channel. Upon insertion into the channel, the terminal contacts the finger and causes the finger to flex out of the channel into the slot. Upon full insertion of the terminal, the finger rebounds back into the channel and securely holds the terminal within the housing.

Battery Terminal Shield With Improved Hinge

View page
US Patent:
59026952, May 11, 1999
Filed:
Feb 10, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/796468
Inventors:
Henry Anthony Siedlik - Novi MI
Zenon Hotra - Troy MI
Michael Jerome Gniewek - Livonia MI
Assignee:
UT Automotive Dearborn, Inc. - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
H01M2/34
US Classification:
429 65
Abstract:
A battery terminal shield comprises a base including a lower wall having an orifice for receiving a battery terminal and a cover including an upper wall and a peripheral wall extending downwardly from the periphery of the upper wall. Preferably, the cover includes an integral generally cylindrical hinge pin having opposite axial ends. The base preferably includes a pair of hinge sockets into which the hinge in snap fits to hingedly connect the cover to the base. Each of the hinge sockets comprises a locking finger flexing axially outwardly of the hinge pin upon insertion of the hinge pin.

Two-Piece Battery Terminal Shield

View page
US Patent:
59100290, Jun 8, 1999
Filed:
Feb 10, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/796469
Inventors:
Henry Anthony Siedlik - Novi MI
Zenon Hotra - Troy MI
Michael Jerome Gniewek - Livonia MI
Assignee:
UT Automotive Dearborn, Inc. - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
H01R 1346
US Classification:
439522
Abstract:
A two-piece battery terminal shield generally comprises a base having a first hinge member hingedly interlocked with a second hinge member which is integral with a cover. The base further includes a first connector, such as a latch window, for removable connection to a second connector, on the cover. The second connector generally comprises a peninsular leg portion formed by two slits in a peripheral wall of the cover and a latch at a lower end of the leg portion. A release beam formed integrally with the leg portion extends outwardly and laterally from the leg portion. Portions of the release beam are spaced away from portions of the peripheral wall adjacent the leg portion, such that upon inward deformation of the leg portion, the release beam abuts the peripheral wall, thereby impeding excessive inward deformation of the leg portion. Upon further inward deformation of the leg portion and peripheral wall, the leg portion and peripheral wall abut stops formed in the base, thereby preventing damage to the leg portion and latch.

Modular Automobile Power Distribution Box

View page
US Patent:
51795035, Jan 12, 1993
Filed:

Assignee:
United Technologies Automotive, Inc. - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
H05K 700
US Classification:
361393
Abstract:
A modular automobile power distribution box having a housing for mounting a plurality of interchangeable support modules. Each support module is adapted for supporting a specific electrical component such as an ISO relay, a mini-fuse, a maxi-fuse, etc. , and the support modules are uniform so as to permit interchangeable positioning within the housing for selective variation of combinations of electrical components.
