US 2022/0285864 A1 · ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY

Abstract

An electrical connector assembly (1) comprising a connector housing (5), a ceiling holder (3) and a cooling body (4), which ceiling holder (3) is provided between the connector housing (5) and the cooling body (4). The connector housing (5) comprises at least one clip lock mechanism (13, 14) with a resilient locking arm 15 which is provided with a first and a second clip (18, 19). Further the at least one clip lock mechanism (13, 14) comprises at least a first clip arm (21) which is provided with a first abutment protrusion (25) and a second abutment protrusion (26), respectively. The ceiling holder (3) may be manufactured of a number of materials, and depending of the chosen material, the thickness of the ceiling holder may differ. The connector housing (5) is adapted to be able to attach to ceiling holders of two different material thicknesses, in the first event, when the ceiling holder is manufactured of a thicker material thickness, the first and second clips (18, 19) engage with the ceiling holder (3), and in the second event, when the ceiling holder (3) is manufactured of a thicker material, at least one of the first and second abutment protrusions (25, 26) and the second clip (19) engage with the ceiling holder (3).
