Abstract

A connector is disclosed for providing power to a pump from a circuit in an ABS braking unit. The electrical connector includes a generally cylindrical housing having first and second ends and a length corresponding to the perpendicular distance between the circuit and the pump. In one embodiment, the first end includes a plurality of pins resiliently mounted therein and electronically connected to the second end. The pins are adapted to resiliently engage a corresponding plurality of pads mounted on the circuit for transmitting power to the second end. In a second embodiment, the second end of the connector also includes a plurality of pins resiliently mounted therein and adapted to engage a corresponding plurality of pads mounted on the pump for receiving power transmitted from the first end.
