Filed:

Nov 12, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/706402

Inventors:

Galen M. Martin - Camp Hill PA
Eric D. Shields - High Point NC

Assignee:

Tyco Electronics Corporation - Middletown PA

International Classification:

H01R 1340

US Classification:

439595

Abstract:

An electrical connector assembly is disclosed having an insulative housing and insulative terminal positioning assurance member. The terminal positioning assurance member has a prelatched position where corresponding latches abut, preventing inadvertent activation and locking of the terminal positioning assurance member. The terminal includes a projection which engages the terminal positioning assurance member, allowing the terminal positioning assurance member to move to a fully locked position.

International Classification:

F16J 15/06

Abstract:

A gasket assembly includes a substrate, such as a portion of a body of an electrical connector. The substrate defines a mating surface to which a gasket or gasket seal is mechanically fixed. The gasket defines at least one recess or other mounting feature thereon for engaging with a complementary feature of the substrate for fixing the gasket to the substrate. According to an embodiment, the gasket defines a sealing face or sealing wall opposing and/or abutting the mating surface of the substrate, and a sidewall extending from the sealing wall and defined about a perimeter thereof. The sealing wall and sidewall define a circumferential recess configured to receive a peripheral edge of the substrate for securing the gasket to and generally over the mating surface of the substrate.

Abstract:

A cover assembly for a battery module is configured to be coupled to battery cells that are arranged side-by-side in a stacked configuration. The cover assembly includes a housing, a plurality of bus bars, and an electrical cable. The bus bars are held by the housing and are configured to electrically connect to corresponding positive and negative cell terminals of the battery cells to electrically connect adjacent battery cells. The cable extends across the bus bars and is electrically connected to each of the bus bars to monitor voltages across the battery cells. The cable includes plural electrical conductors and a dielectric insulator that surrounds and electrically isolates the conductors. The conductors include exposed segments exposed through the dielectric insulator that are electrically connected to corresponding bus bars via a bonding layer applied between the exposed segment and the corresponding bus bar.
