摘要： A connector includes a first housing half and a second housing half, with one of the connector halves being a socket half, and the other connector half being a plug half. A latching mechanism is provided so that when the connector halves are assembled, they are latched together in the assembled position. A CPA device is also provided which is independent of the connector halves. The CPA device may be securely mounted on one of the connector halves prior to assembly of the connector halves. Following latching of the connector halves into the assembled condition, the CPA device may be slid forward to a final position to lock the latching mechanism to prevent the connector from being inadvertently unlatched. Also, if the connector halves are not fully and properly assembled, it is not possible to slide the CPA device into the final position. Additionally, after the CPA device is seated in its final position, the two connector halves cannot be disconnected from each other unless the CPA device is manually slid back to the initial or “ready” position. However, in order to disassemble the connector, the CPA device must be manually disengaged from the final locked position, and moved to the initial unlocked position, before the latch may be manually unlatched so that the connector halves may be unmated.
摘要翻译：连接器包括第一壳体半部和第二壳体半部，其中一个连接器半部为插座半部，另一个连接器半部为插头半部。提供一种闭锁机构，使得当连接器半部组装时，它们在组装位置被锁定在一起。还提供了独立于连接器半部的CPA装置。在组装连接器半部之前，CPA装置可以牢固地安装在一个连接器半部上。在将连接器半部锁定到组装状态之后，CPA装置可以向前滑动到最终位置以锁定闩锁机构，以防止连接器被无意地解锁。此外，如果连接器半部未完全正确组装，则无法将CPA设备滑动到最终位置。另外，在CPA装置处于最终位置之后，两个连接器半部分不能彼此断开，除非CPA装置被手动地滑回到初始或“就绪”位置。然而，为了拆卸连接器，CPA装置必须手动脱离最终的锁定位置，并移动到初始解锁位置，然后可以手动解锁闩锁，以使连接器半部可以不配合。

摘要： An electrical connector assembly includes a terminal block having a plurality of spaced contact pins mounted thereon and oriented in a first direction. A plurality of openings are formed in the terminal block and each is aligned with one of the contact pins. A plurality of sockets are each mounted at the end of a lead wire and are constructed and arranged to be received in any one of the openings for electrically engaging the contact pin aligned therewith. A locking bar has a plurality of locking portions and is pivotally mounted on the terminal block for movement between an unlocking position and a locking position wherein the locking portions are respectively aligned with one of the openings. A biasing spring engages the locking bar for biasing the locking bar toward its locking position. An end portion of the socket is constructed to engage the locking bar upon being inserted into one of the openings and to move the bar against the biasing spring and away from its locked position until the socket is fully engaged with the contact pin. Each of the sockets has a groove positioned to be engaged by the respective locking portion on the locking bar when the socket is in electrical engagement with said contact pin and a cylindrical portion is formed on the socket for frictionally engaging the margins of the openings as the socket is being inserted or removed from the terminal block for frictionally resisting movement of the socket through the opening.

摘要： An electrical connector includes a connector body and a wire shroud secured to the connector body. A mating assist lever is pivotally mounted on the body to be pivotable between an inoperative position and a latched position. A connector position assurance (CPA) member is slidably mounted on the mating assist lever to be slidable between an inoperative position and a locked position. Complementary interengaging locks are provided between the CPA member and the wire shroud to lock the mating assist lever in its latched position when the CPA member is moved to its locked position.

摘要： A lever type electrical connector assembly includes a first connector having a first housing mounting a plurality of first terminals. A mating assist lever is pivotally movably mounted on the first connector for movement in a pivotal operating stroke between a pre-mated position at one end of the stroke and a fully mated position at an opposite end of the stroke. A second connector includes a second housing mateable with the first housing of the first connector. A coupling is provided between the mating assist lever and the second connector, whereby the connectors are mated and unmated in response to pivotal movement of the lever between its pre-mated and mated positions. Interengaging interference surfaces are provided at spaced locations between the first and second housings of the first and second connectors, respectively. The interference surfaces are engageable when the mating assist lever is at an intermediate point between the opposite ends of its operating stroke. Thereby, the housings are overstrained during an end portion of the operating stroke as the lever reaches its fully mated position.

摘要： An electrical connector includes a housing having a front mating end, a rear terminating end and at least one terminal-receiving passage extending in a direction defining an insertion axis extending between the ends. The passage has a rear open end communicating with the rear terminating end of the housing. A TPA device is engageable with the housing at the front mating end thereof in a pre-load position. The TPA device includes a through passage communicating with the terminal-receiving passage in the housing. The TPA device is movable rearwardly from the pre-load position to a locking position. A terminal is insertable through the rear terminating end of the housing into the rear open end of the terminal-receiving passage along the insertion axis and into the through passage in the TPA device. The terminal moves conjointly with the TPA device from the pre-load position to the locking position. A terminal lock includes a locking surface on the housing at the terminal-receiving passage engageable with the locking shoulder on the terminal Complementary interengaging ramp surfaces are provided between the TPA device and the housing and extend at an angle to the insertion axis for moving the locking shoulder of the terminal transversely of the axis onto the locking surface on the housing as the TPA device and the terminal move conjointly from the pre-load position to the locking position angularly of the axis.

摘要： A connector component includes a housing portion and an insert portion. The insert portion includes a plurality of terminal-receiving passages. Conductive terminals may be inserted into the passages, and a ramped fixed shoulder is formed on each passage surface for retaining the terminals in the passage. Additionally, a flexible finger is provided for each passage for holding the terminals in position in the passage. A terminal may be loaded into each passage and disposed in front of the shoulder. The housing portion of the invention includes a generally box-shaped casing having a hollow cavity for receiving the insert portion of the invention. Each of the upper and lower walls includes a transverse step formed along the expanse between the side walls. The upper and lower walls further include a transverse ramped locking area which also extends between the side walls. The transverse step serves as part of a terminal position assurance (“TPA”) system for preventing assembly of the insert portion into the housing if a terminal is not properly seated in its passage. When a terminal is not properly seated, the finger for that passage will extend outward more than the remaining fingers, and this finger will contact the transverse step on the upper or lower wall. The step will prevent further insertion of the insert and alert a technician assembling the component as to the incorrectly positioned terminal. However, when all terminals are properly seated, there is sufficient clearance for the insert to be completely inserted into the housing. As complete insertion occurs, the fingers on the insert contact the ramped locking area. The ramped area forces the fingers against the terminals, thereby securely locking the terminals in position.
摘要翻译：连接器部件包括壳体部分和插入部分。插入部分包括多个端子接收通道。导电端子可以插入通道中，并且在每个通道表面上形成斜坡固定肩部，用于将端子保持在通道中。此外，为每个通道提供柔性指状物，以将端子保持在通道中的适当位置。端子可以装载到每个通道中并且设置在肩部的前面。本发明的壳体部分包括具有用于容纳本发明的插入部分的中空腔的大体上为盒状的壳体。上壁和下壁中的每一个包括沿着侧壁之间的穹隆形成的横向台阶。上壁和下壁还包括也在侧壁之间延伸的横向斜坡锁定区域。横向台阶作为终端位置保证（“TPA”）系统的一部分，用于如果终端没有正确地坐在其通道中，则用于防止插入部分组装到壳体中。当端子未正确就位时，该通道的手指将比剩余的手指向外延伸，并且该手指将接触上壁或下壁上的横向台阶。该步骤将防止插入件的进一步插入并警告技术人员将组件组装在不正确定位的端子上。然而，当所有端子都正确就位时，插入件有足够的间隙才能完全插入外壳。当完成插入时，刀片上的指状物接触斜坡锁定区域。倾斜区域迫使手指抵靠端子，从而将端子牢固地锁定在适当位置。
