<p>An electrical connector assembly (10) is disclosed, particularly adapted for connecting an electronic control system to an adjustable automotive suspension component (11). The assembly includes a dielectric housing (14) having terminals (42, 44) for connection to appropriate mating terminals (62, 64) on the suspension component. A separate dielectric latch (16) is ultrasonically welded to the dielectric housing for latching the connector assembly to a complementary latch on the suspension component. The housing has a base (26) and a receptacle (28) projecting from the base. The separate latch has a shroud (30) ultrasonically welded about the receptacle of the housing. The terminals (42, 44) are insert molded in the housing. The terminals are generally L-shaped with one leg of each terminal completely insert molded in the base, including its termination with an appropriate electrical wire, and the other leg of each L-shaped terminal defines its contact portion extending into the receptacle of the housing. <IMAGE></p> |
