Abstract:
An assembly kit for an electronic control unit in an anti-lock braking system of the type having a pump separated from the electronic control unit by the interposition of a hydraulic control unit, comprising:a printed circuit for providing power to the pump;a housing that contains said printed circuit; anda detachable electrical connector for transmitting power from the printed circuit to the pump through an aperture in the hydraulic control unit,the detachable electrical connector having a generally cylindrical housing with first and second ends and having a length corresponding to the perpendicular distance between the printed circuit and the pump,said first end including at least one bifurcated flexible terminal mounted in the first end and electrically connected to said second end,said at least one bifurcated flexible terminal adapted to be detachably connected to said printed circuit and adapted to extend at least partially through a contact passage on said printed circuit and resiliently exert an outward force against the contact passage to establish an intimate electrical interconnection therewith,said second end adapted to be electrically connected to the pump,said cylindrical housing being sized relative to said aperture in the hydraulic control unit to provide a seal within said aperture to thus prevent said printed circuit from being environmentally exposed, andsaid cylindrical housing is provided with an O-ring to further improve said seal.
