Shock absorber with an electrical connector

摘要

A shock absorber is disclosed which electrically communicates with an external source of electrical potential. The shock absorber comprises a valve for electrically controlling the flow of damping fluid in the working chamber of the shock absorber. The shock absorber further comprises a connector for allowing the valve to be electrically connected to the source of electrical potential. The connector comprises an adapter shaft communicating with the piston rod of the shock absorber, a first connector assembly connected to the adapter shaft, and a second connector assembly connected to the first connector assembly.
