Abstract

An internal electrical connector includes at least one electrical conductor overmolded by a body formed from an electrically non-conducting material. The connector is received by a bore extending through a valve body for an anti-lock brake system hydraulic control unit. An electronic control unit mounted upon a first surface of the valve body is electrically connected to one end of the connector while the other end of the connector is electrically connected to a pump motor mounted upon a valve body surface opposite from the electronic control unit. The connector is free to move both transversely and axially within the valve body bore to compensate for component tolerance stack up.
