Embodiment Construction

[0024] refer to figure 1 , shows an electrical connection system 10 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The electrical connection system 10 is used to electrically transmit electrical signals through the system 10 from one location to another. The system 10 is attached or fixed to a joint or housing 11 . For example, the case may be part of an enclosure to house a high voltage battery provided in an electric or hybrid electric vehicle (not shown). The electrical connection system is a useful interface that bridges the power electrical signal supplied from the high voltage battery and electrically transmits and distributes the power electrical signal supplied from the high voltage battery at one location through the housing to other locations provided in the vehicle Other electrical components outside the housing.

[0025] refer to Figure 1-13 , the electrical connection system 10 includes a first plug shield or plug connector 12 and a second head...

Abstract

A first connector is matable to a second connector in an electrical connection system. The first connector has a connector body that contains a primary and a secondary latch. The respective latches and the connector body of the first connector are molded to form a single unitary piece. The single unitary piece is constructed to define a space intermediate the primary latch and the connector body. The space is adapted to fit a latch position assurance lock to prevent displacement of the primary latch. The primary and the secondary latch respectively communicate with at least one primary and at least one secondary latch ramp disposed on the second connector when at least the first connector is unmated from the second connector. A method to assemble an electrical connection system using the single unitary piece of the first connector is also provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electrical connection system comprising a detent position ensuring lock. Background of the invention [0002] It is known to transmit high power electrical signals through power connection components in the vehicular environment. [0003] For example, these power connection components can be used in 42V DC electrical systems or in high voltage electrical systems in hybrid electric vehicles or electric vehicles. One such power connection assembly is partially unmated and then fully unmated to prevent undesired arcing of power electrical signals between electrical connections provided within the power connection assembly when the power connection assembly is unmated. And because these power connection assemblies carry high-voltage power signals, it is desirable to be able to unmatch these power connection assemblies without electrically passing power electrical signals through the power connection assemblies, thereby providin...
