A suspension damper system is provided. The damper system includes a damper with a damper rod, a portion of which extends from the proximal end of the damper. The damper rod includes a bore and an electrode disposed within the bore. A fastener for securing the damper rod to a vehicle is also provided. The fastener is disposed over the damper rod and includes a circumferential groove. An electrical connector which includes an electrically conducting terminal is connected to the electrode. The connector includes a lock which mates with the groove in the fastener and includes a ground terminal which is connected to the damper rod.
An electrical connector comprising a housing including at least a first longitudinally extending portion and a second portion extending generally orthogonal thereto, a conductive ring located within said first portion, an outer surface of the ring being in contact with an interior surface of an interior cavity of the housing, and a first electrically conducting terminal generally located within said second portion, said electrically conducting terminal releasably attached to said conductive ring, the first electrically conducting terminal including a portion extending within said interior of said first portion of said housing.
An electrical connector comprising a housing including at least a first longitudinally extending portion and a second portion extending generally orthogonal thereto, a conductive ring located within said first portion, an outer surface of the ring being in contact with an interior surface of an interior cavity of the housing, and a first electrically conducting terminal generally located within said second portion, said electrically conducting terminal releasably attached to said conductive ring, wherein a portion of said first electrically conducting terminal is molded within said housing.
An electrical connector comprising a housing including at least a first longitudinally extending portion and a second portion extending generally orthogonal thereto, a conductive ring located within said first portion, an outer surface of the ring being in contact with an interior surface of an interior cavity of the housing, and a first electrically conducting terminal generally located within said second portion, said electrically conducting terminal releasably attached to said conductive ring, wherein said first electrically conducting terminal includes at least a first portion molded within said housing and a second portion extending into said interior of said second portion of said housing.
An electrical connector comprising a housing including at least a first longitudinally extending portion and a second portion extending generally orthogonal thereto, a conductive ring located within said first portion and a first electrically conducting terminal generally located within said second portion, said electrically conducting terminal releasably attached to said conductive ring, wherein said first electrically conducting terminal is a ground terminal, said conductive ring is a ground ring and including a second electrically conducting terminal extending from said first housing portion to said second housing portion, said second electrically conducting terminal connected at one end to a power source, at least a portion of said first electrically conducting terminal being molded within said housing.
