Assignee:

Ford Motor Company - Dearborn MI

International Classification:

H01R 1373
H02B 101

US Classification:

439559

Abstract:

A sepreable low profile connector for a transmission includes a first elongated receptacle aligned with a central axis. The first receptacle has a flange portion, a first cylindrical portion and a first terminal housing portion. The first cylindrical portion and the first terminal housing portion are sized to be received within the bore, whereas the flange portion is sized larger than the bore. The first cylindrical portion is adjacent the flange and has a diameter smaller than the bore. The first receptacle has longitudinal openings extending through the flange portion, the first cylindrical portion and the first terminal housing portion. Electrically conductive terminals are located within the longitudinal openings in the first terminal housing portion and are juxtaposed to the inner wall of the bore. At least one seal is located on the cylindrical portion adjacent the bore. A second receptacle has a second cylindrical portion, and a second terminal portion.

Assignee:

Ford Global Technologies, Inc. - Dearborn MI

International Classification:

H01H 906
B60Q 100

US Classification:

200 6188

Abstract:

In an automatic transmission system, a position sensor provides digital and analog output indications of the sensed position of a manually operated transmission gear shift lever. Electrical contacts within the sensor are configured to minimize wear and corrosion by eliminating electrical continuity in the switching elements when the gear shift lever is in the Drive position.

Appl. No.:

8/432348

Inventors:

Charles E. Marshall - Novi MI
Gary J. Denyer - Westland MI

Assignee:

Ford Motor Company - Dearborn MI

International Classification:

B60Q 100

US Classification:

340456

Abstract:

A position sensing apparatus (10) for detecting the manually selected operating mode of an automatic transmission (14) in a motor vehicle comprising a digital position sensor (20) for providing a digital position signal and an analog position sensor (22) for providing an analog position signal. The position sensing apparatus 10 may be used to advantage in a position selection and detection system which further includes a selector (12) for selecting one of a plurality of predetermined selectable positions and a decoder (18) responsive to both the digital position signal and the analog position signal for determining the selected position.
