Embodiment Construction

[0014] Referring to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like parts, figure 1 A power electronics module (PEM) 10 is shown. The PEM 10 may serve as a power inverter and charging system for a hybrid transmission (not shown) that converts DC power to AC power. However, it should be understood that the PEM 10 may be used to create any form of electrical interface between any other components known to those skilled in the art.

[0015] refer again figure 1 , PEM 10 includes electronic module 12, which may include electronic circuitry (not shown). Electronics module 12 may be configured to be electrically attached to a hybrid transmission or the like. Electronics module 12 may include one or more interface portions 14 . Each interface portion includes one or more conductive planes 16 disposed therein. The conductive surface 16 can be a bus bar or the like. refer again figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the PEM 10 includes two interface sections 14 . E...

Abstract

A power electronics module includes an electronics module and a connector housing. The electronics module includes at least one interface section having at least one conductive surface. At least one connector is configured for attachment to the electronics module to establish electrical communication between the connector and the electronics module. The connector includes a connector housing, an insulative housing, a terminal and a biasing device. The insulative housing is supported by the connector housing. The terminal is configured to transmit electrical current to the conductive surface of the electronics module. The biasing device is configured to bias the terminal in a first direction to establish electrical contact with the conductive surface and the conductive surface biases the terminal in a second direction, opposite the first direction.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a contact assembly for attachment to an electronic module. Background technique [0002] Often, multiple electrical connections are made to a single component within a vehicle. For this, many individual connectors are used. These individual connectors usually equal the total number of electrical connections. To ensure that the connections remain secure and connected, each connector can be individually fastened. [0003] For example, in some hybrid transmissions, separate fasteners are required for each electrical connection. Additionally, separate covers are placed over each electrical connection, which may also require sealing. Excessive fasteners, seals and covers add to the time and expense required to assemble all electrical connections. Contents of the invention [0004] The contact assembly is configured to be attached to an electronic module. The contact assembly includes terminals and biasing means. The termina...
