ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY WITH INTERNAL SPRING COMPONENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240014588 titled 'ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY WITH INTERNAL SPRING COMPONENT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electrical connector assembly that is used to connect a component to a power source. The assembly includes a male terminal with side walls that define a receiver. The side wall has a contact arm that extends across an aperture. There is also an internal spring member that resides within the receiver of the male terminal. The spring member has at least one spring arm that extends from a base portion. The assembly further includes a female terminal with a receptacle that is dimensioned to receive both the male terminal and the spring member. When connected, the spring arm exerts an outwardly directed biasing force on the contact arm of the male terminal, ensuring connectivity.

  • The assembly includes a male terminal with a receiver and a contact arm.
  • An internal spring member resides within the receiver of the male terminal.
  • The spring member has at least one spring arm extending from a base portion.
  • A female terminal with a receptacle is designed to receive both the male terminal and the spring member.
  • When connected, the spring arm exerts a biasing force on the contact arm to ensure connectivity.

Potential Applications:

  • Electrical connectors for various devices and equipment.
  • Power supply connections in electronic devices.
  • Automotive electrical systems.
  • Industrial machinery and equipment.

Problems Solved:

  • Ensures reliable electrical and mechanical connection between a component and a power source.
  • Prevents disconnection due to vibrations or external forces.
  • Provides a secure and stable connection, reducing the risk of power loss or damage.

Benefits:

  • Improved reliability and durability of electrical connections.
  • Easy and efficient installation and removal of components.
  • Enhanced safety by preventing accidental disconnections.
  • Suitable for various applications and environments.
  • Cost-effective solution for electrical connectivity.


Original Abstract Submitted

an electrical connector assembly for electrically and mechanically connecting a component to a power source is disclosed. the connector assembly includes a male terminal with side walls defining a receiver. the side wall includes a contact arm that extends across an aperture in the side wall. the assembly also includes an internal spring member dimensioned to reside within the receiver of the male terminal. the spring member has at least one spring arm that extends from a base portion. the assembly further includes a female terminal with a receptacle dimensioned to receive both the male terminal and the spring member residing within the receiver of the male connector to define a connected position. in the connected position, the spring arm exerts an outwardly directed biasing force on the contact arm of the male terminal to outwardly displace it into engagement with an inner surface of the receptacle to ensure connectivity.
