An electrical connector comprising a first bus bar formed by mechanically and electrically joined parallel first and second layers of electrically conductive material with separated ends defining a slot receiving a second bus bar between the first bus bar layers; a contact button having a first layer of a first electrically conductive material attached to one of the bus bars and a second layer of a second electrically conductive material clad to the first layer; and a clamp assembly including a retaining band surrounding both bus bars and a spring configured to provide a contact force between the contact button and the first or second bus bar when the second bus bar is disposed between the first bus bar layers.

An electrical connector includes a housing defining a chamber with a top wall, bottom wall, and side walls arranged to form multiple locations, each configured to receive one electrical terminal along a reception direction. Each electrical terminal has opposing first and second surfaces with corresponding first and second locking holes. Within each location, a latch extends over the bottom wall and cooperates with both locking holes to secure the terminal in the reception direction. The top wall features an opening through which a retainer is pivotally mounted about an axis parallel to the side walls. The retainer moves between a locked position, engaging the opening and holding the terminals via protrusions that engage both locking holes, and an unlocked position, disengaged from the opening, thereby securing the set of electrical terminals in the first direction within the housing.

This disclosure relates to a vibration damping and clearance compensation element for an electrical connector, featuring a flexible wall with a first and second main surface, mounted in a cantilevered manner. A hollow space is positioned adjacent to the first main surface of the flexible wall, allowing for enhanced flexibility and vibration absorption. At least one contact element extends from the second main surface of the flexible wall, providing electrical connectivity while accommodating movement and misalignment. This configuration effectively dampens vibrations and compensates for clearance variations, ensuring reliable electrical connections under dynamic conditions. The design is particularly suited for applications requiring robust performance in environments subject to mechanical stress and movement, enhancing the durability and reliability of electrical connectors.

The present disclosure presents a connector assembly including a female connector and a male counter-connector. The female connector has two female terminals, a female dielectric that guides and separates the terminals, and a female outer contact that encases both the dielectric and terminals. The male counter-connector features two male terminals, a male dielectric for guiding and separating the terminals, and a male outer contact that surrounds both the dielectric and terminals. The male counter-connector is designed to mate with the female connector such that each female terminal contacts a corresponding male terminal. The distance between the female terminals is less than or equal to 0.6 mm, thereby ensuring precise alignment and secure electrical connection upon mating. This configuration enhances the reliability and performance of the connector assembly in various applications.
