Embodiment Construction

[0018] Detailed description of the preferred embodiment

[0019] Referring now to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1-Figure 3 A splice connector assembly 10 is shown in accordance with an exemplary embodiment. The splice connector assembly 10 may include an electrically insulating housing 20 and a conductive bus plate 30 (see figure 2 ). Housing 20 may include an upper housing portion 50 (see figure 1 and image 3 ) and the lower housing portion 60, the upper housing portion 50 and the lower housing portion 60 are engageably coupled to each other to jointly form a substantially rectangular shape. The housing 20 may be made of, for example, an electrically insulating plastic material. The splice connector assembly 10 can also include a cable 40 (see figure 1 and figure 2 ), the cable 40 may extend into the housing 20. Cable 40 is configured to electrically couple a power source or output to bus board 30 so as to allow electrical current to flow in and out of splice ...

Abstract

A splice connector assembly includes a housing and a flat bus plate. The housing has openings on the opposed end walls defining an axis being generally perpendicular to the opposed end walls. The flat bus plate is disposed within the housing, and includes a connecting strip extending generally perpendicular to the axis, a first set of male terminals extending outwardly from the connecting strip generally parallel to the axis, and a second set of male terminals extending outward from the connecting strip generally parallel to the axis and in an opposite direction from the first set of male terminals, wherein a free end of each of the male terminals are configured to receive and be electrically connected with the female flat terminals, and the female flat terminals extend into the housing to connect to the male terminals through the openings on the opposed end walls.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a splice connector assembly, particularly a splice connector assembly for use in vehicle applications. [0002] Background of the invention [0003] In vehicle applications where weight and space constraints are important, many vehicles utilize specially designed splice connectors or other forms of connectors to reduce the number of wires and electrical connectors that must be present. Using such specially designed connectors, while beneficial in producing a more compact solution, typically results in higher research and manufacturing costs due to the number and complexity of the individual parts required for each particular splice connector application. Additionally, each application often has unique size and connector requirements, which can hinder a more versatile design. Therefore, there is a need for a splice connector that has a compact, versatile shape and that can accommodate various combinations of connector re...
