  • FIG. 1 An exemplary embodiment of a connector assembly 10 according to the teaching of the present invention is shown on figure 1 to 5 .
  • the connector mating axis A1 is orientated vertically along with the orientation of figure 1 .
  • the connector assembly 10 includes a connector housing 12 comprising a frame portion 14, a substantially cylindrical plug portion 16 extending downwardly from the frame portion 14, along the connector mating axis A1, for connection with a corresponding counterpart connector (not shown), and a substantially axial casing portion 18 extending upwardly from the frame portion 14.
  • the connector housing 12 is configured to receive a terminal fitting 20 having here two parallel axial terminals 24, 26 inserted into respective holes 28, 30 of the frame portion 14, and extending axially in the plug portion 16 for electrical connection.
  • the axial terminals 24, 26 are connected to respective wires 32, 34 through an electronic interference damping device in the form of a ferrite block 36 which has two through holes 38, 40 for the insertion of the lower free ends of the wires 32, 34.
  • the ferrite block 36 comprises a casing of substantially oblong cross section with an upper transverse surface 42 and a lower transverse surface 44 of oblong shapes connected by an axial wall 46.
  • the connector assembly 10 is preferably of the straight type, meaning the cable outlet, or wire outlet, is substantially parallel to the mating axis A1.
  • a holder 48 is mounted onto the connector housing 12 in order to hold the terminal fitting 20 in position.
  • the holder 48 comprises a bottom portion forming a sliding portion 50 which is provided with two opposing parallel inner grooves 52, 54 on its bottom face in order to slidably cooperate with two corresponding opposing guiding surfaces 56, 58 on the frame portion 14.
  • the sliding movement of the holder 48 on the frame portion 14 allows snap-fitting assembly of the holder 48 with the connector housing 12 along a snap-fitting transverse axis A2 which is substantially perpendicular to the mating axis A1.
  • the holder 48 and the frame portion 14 are provided with complementary locking means including lateral locking lugs 60, 62 cooperating with lateral locking apertures 64, 66 to retain the holder 48 in a locked position, as shown in figure 5 .

  • a first pair of locking apertures 64 is located on the sliding portion 50 lateral walls, complementary with a first pair of locking lugs 60 located on the frame portion 14 lateral walls, and a second pair of locking apertures 66 is located on the axial casing portion 18 lateral walls, complementary with a second pair of locking lugs 62 located on the cover 68 lateral walls.
  • an upper part of the axial casing portion 18 is provided with a retention portion in the form of a flexible arm 70, or beam.
  • said flexible arm 70 is constituted of a beam extending substantially transversally, perpendicularly to the snap-fitting axis A2, between the two lateral walls of the axial casing portion 18.
  • Said flexible arm 70 is able to bend elastically outwardly, in an opposite direction to the cover 68 along the snap-fitting axis A2, when the terminal fitting 20 with the ferrite block 36 is inserted into the connector housing 12.
  • the flexible arm 70 is provided on its inward side with a detent latch portion 71 having an upper slanted cam surface 72 which is able to cooperate with the lower transverse surface 44 of the ferrite block 36 in order to bend the flexible arm 70 outwardly, from a rest position, shown on figures 3 to 5 , to a bent position, shown on figure 2 .
  • the cover 68 has a first clamping surface 74 which cooperates with a second clamping surface 76 located on the flexible arm 70, here on the detent latch portion 71, in order to clamp retained portions of the wires 32, 34 right above the ferrite block 36, when the holder 48 is in its locked position, as shown on figure 5 .
  • the second clamping surface 76 is constituted of a flange located radially on the inner side of the detent latch portion 71.
  • the upper portion of the cover 68 has two wire slots 78, 80, or notches, for receiving the two retained portions of the wires 32, 34.
  • the bottom of each wire slot 78, 80 forms a portion of the first clamping surface 74 such that, in the locked position of the holder 48, the retained portions of the wires 32, 34 are blocked into the wire slots 78, 80 under elastic pressure from the second clamping surface 76.
  • the upper portion of the cover 68 is provided with an elastic retaining lug 82 extending radially outwardly along the snap-fitting axis A2 towards the detent latch portion 71 in order to retain the holder 48 in the locked position.
  • Said detent latch portion 71 and said retaining lug 82 have complementary cooperating locking surfaces allowing snap-fitting of the two parts together which helps maintaining the clamping force on the retained portions of the wires 32, 34.
  • the retaining lug 82 In the locked position, the retaining lug 82 extends above the ferrite block 36, between the two wires 32, 34, and the outer free end of the retaining lug 82 is received in a complementary locking notch 84 arranged in the axial casing portion 18, below the detent latch portion 71.
  • a connector position assurance (CPA) device 86 is axially mounted on the connector housing 12 through the sliding portion 50 of the holder 48.
  • the CPA device 86 will not be described in details as it is a conventional device in the field of connector assemblies.
  • the terminal fitting 20 connected to the wires 32, 34 is brought downwardly along the mating axis A1 towards the connector housing 12 in order to insert the terminals 24, 26 into the corresponding holes 28, 30 of the frame portion 14, and in order to have the ferrite block 36 received in a corresponding receptacle of the connector housing 12.
  • the lower surface 44 of the ferrite block 36 comes into abutment against the cam surface 72 which biases the flexible arm 70 outwardly, as shown in figure 2 .
  • a tool could be used to bend the flexible arm 70 outwardly in order to allow insertion of the ferrite block 36 along the mating axis A1.
  • the holder 48 is fitted to the connector housing 12 by sliding its sliding portion 50 along the snap-fitting axis A2 towards the axial casing portion 18, as shown in figure 4 , until the holder 48 reaches its locked position shown in figure 5 , wherein all the locking lugs 60, 62 are received in their locking apertures 64, 66, and wherein the retaining lug 82 is received in its locking notch 84 and snap-fitted to the detent latch portion 71.
  • the locked position the retained portions of the wires 32, 34 are clamped between the clamping surfaces 74, 76.
