ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE SEAT ASSEMBLY

摘要

An electrical connector system is provided for a vehicle seat assembly which includes a seat frame movably mounted to a floor of a vehicle for movement between a raised position and a lowered position. The system includes a first connector mounted to the vehicle floor. A second connector is mounted to the seat frame and is mateable with the first connector. The second connector includes a protective shroud fixed to the seat frame and a mating portion movably mounted in the protective shroud. A motion linkage is connected between the mating portion of the second connector and the vehicle seat assembly for moving the mating portion from a protective position within the protective shroud to an exposed position for mating with the first connector, automatically in response to movement of the seat frame from its raised position to its lowered position.
