Problems solved by technology

[0006] According to prior art methods, the user must apply relatively high forces to engage, close and / or seal the individual electrical connectors
Furthermore, in methods according to the prior art, when flexible seals are used, the user who closes the electrical connector by means of a pushing movement is often subjected to irregular forces due to additional frictional and compressive forces

Embodiment Construction

[0088] Particularly, figure 1 A cross-sectional view of an electrical connector assembly according to the invention is shown with a first connector member 20, shown as a CPA member, in an open position. The second connector member 10 is shown as a plug connector 10 adapted to mate with a corresponding mating connector 60 which together form a sealed electrical connector assembly 1 . The mating connector 60 is shown in a disconnected state, although it should be understood that it could of course be arranged to mate with the plug connector 10 . The plug connector 10 includes a second connector member housing 30 , shown as a connector housing 30 , which encloses any other components of the plug connector 10 (eg, electrical components). An electrical cable 12 is connected to the plug connector 10 and provides electrical connection to other components connected to the sealed electrical connector assembly 1 . The plug connector 10 also includes a CPA member 20 arranged to be rece...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a sealed electrical connector comprising a first connector member and a second connector member, wherein the first connector member is adapted to be arrangeable at an open position and a sealed position, at the sealed position, the first connector member is fully mated and sealed with the second connector member, the first connector member comprises a first connector member sealing wall extending essentially in a first direction, the second connector member comprises a second connector member sealing wall extending essentially in the first direction, and at a sealed position, the first connector member sealing wall and the second connector member sealing wall face each other in a sealing region; and a flexible sealing element; wherein at the sealed position, the flexible sealing element is adapted to be arranged between and contacting the sealing walls of the first connector member and the second connector member in the sealing region.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of sealed electrical connector assemblies, in particular to SRS plug connectors or safety airbag squib connectors. The invention also relates to a corresponding method for coupling electrical connector assemblies. The electrical connector assembly according to the invention is generally used in vehicles, in particular in vehicle electrical systems. Background technique [0002] An electrical connector system used to connect electrical circuits in which typically male contact terminals mate with female contact terminals. In a vehicle such as a car, multiple electrically driven Supplementary Restraint Systems (SRS) are required to ensure optimal interaction of safety components (eg between airbags and seat belt pretensioners) in the event of an accident. [0003] Failure of an SRS component can have serious consequences for road users involved in an accident, therefore we strive to provide electrical connector systems...
