Electric connection arrangement for motor vehicle, has locking units conformed such that signal connector is only locked in connected position after locking of power connector in mounted position

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The arrangement has a power connector (12) and a signal connector (14) are mounted on pattern cavities (16, 18) or to an assisted steering device (10) in a connected position for connecting the device to an electrical energy source e.g. battery, and an electronic device e.g. position sensor, of a vehicle, respectively. Locking units (20, 22) locks the respective connectors to the device in connected position. The units are conformed such that the connector (14) is only locked in the connected position after locking of the connector (12) in mounted position. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Electric connection arrangement for connecting an accessory e.g. electrically assisted or electronic assisted steering device, of a motor vehicle (claimed) to an electric energy source e.g. battery of the vehicle and to an electronic device e.g. speed sensor and steering wheel position sensor, of the vehicle, for receiving information relating to operating parameters of the vehicle. Can also be used for safety inflatable cushion or an airbag. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The arrangement of the locking units permits the locking of the connector in a reliable manner, while permitting to detect the defect in mounting of the connector on assembly line of the vehicle before release of the vehicle. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a schematic view of an electric connection arrangement in which the connectors are in connected position on an assisted steering device and are locking in the connected position. 10 : Assisted steering device 12 : Power connector 14 : Signal connector 16, 18 : Pattern cavities 20, 22 : Locking units.
