Abstract:
A transmission (106) for connecting a rotary motor output shaft (104) to a rectilinear actuator (26) which is moveable rectilinearly along an actuator axis (Y) of translation. The transmission (106) comprises a frame (148), an eccentric (144), and a rectilinear guide (150). The frame (148) has a bore (160) formed therein. The eccentric (144) is adapted to position the frame (148) on the rotary motor output shaft (104). The eccentric (144) is rotatably mounted in the bore (160) of the frame (148) to rotate relative to the frame (148). The rectilinear guide (150) is connected to the frame (148). The rectilinear guide (150) has a slide surface (172) adapted to be slidably seated against the rectilinear actuator (26) allowing the frame (148) to slide substantially rectilinearly relative to the rectilinear actuator (26). While this drive is especially suited for use on a hydraulic crimping tool, the drive is also suited for use with any kind of hydraulic power tool.
Abstract:
A presently-preferred embodiment of a cover (50) for a ball-grid array connector comprises a top member (50a) and a first and a second side member (50b,c) adjoining opposing ends of the top member (50a). The first and the second side members (50b,c) each have a mating feature (50d) formed thereon for engaging a housing (20) of the ball-grid array connector by way of a respective complementary mating feature (28) formed in the housing (20) so that the cover (50) is movable between a first and second position in relation to the housing (20).
Abstract:
An intermittent contact connector device including a frame having a first frame section movably connected to a second frame section; two electrical contacts connected to the second frame section, and an electrical shorting member connected to the first frame section. At least one of the contacts is an insulation displacement contact (IDC) member. The shorting member is adapted to contact the two electrical contacts to thereby electrically connect the two electrical contacts to each other when the first frame member is moved towards the second frame member.
Abstract:
A plug (410) comprises a plug housing (416) having a body and a plurality of beams (418) extending therefrom and forming gaps (422) therebetween. A member (430) bridges the gaps (422) between the beams (418) at their distal ends. Ground contacts (412) comprising a body (434), an elongated contact portion (436), and armatures (444) are inserted into the plug housing (416). A recess (437) formed in the distal end of the elongated contact portion (436) engages the member (430). The ground contacts (414) have projections (450) extending therefrom that are disposed in the channels formed through the body and along the beams (418). Signal contacts (412) having a portion with a first form factor and a portion with a second form factor are also inserted into the plug housing (416). The portion with a first form factor extends through a conduit (424) in the plug housing body (416) and along a trough (420) formed in the beams (418). The distal ends of the signal contacts (412) have recesses (472) formed in their distal ends with projections (470) from the beams (418) situated therein. The portion of the signal (412) contact with a second form factor abuts the housing body (416).
Abstract:
An electrical wedge connector including a connector shell having a general C-shaped cross-section with two opposing free ends, and a wedge. The free ends each comprise an outward extension from the opposing ends. Each outward extension has an outer tip along a longitudinal length of the shell adapted to stablely locate the shell on a surface of a frame of a wedge connector installation tool. The wedge is adapted to wedge two electrical conductors against respective opposing inner sides of the shell.
Abstract:
A rectangular tube-like connection portion (11) is constituted of a bottom plate (13), a first side plate (14), a top plate (not shown), and a second side plate. A movable contact piece (20) is attached at its base portion (20a) to the rear of the bottom plate (13), an intermediate portion of the movable contact piece is formed in a mountain-like shape, and the top of the mountain-like shape is a contact portion (20d) coming into contact with a mating insertion terminal to be inserted. The movable contact piece (20) is folded over the bottom plate (13) before the connection portion (11) is formed. There is a cutout in the bottom plate (13), a rectangular reinforcement piece (not shown), connected at its rear portion to the bottom plate (13), is lifted upward from the bottom plate (13), and a front-end portion of the reinforcement piece is in contact with a lower face of the contact portion (20d) of the movable contact piece (20). At the entrance of the connection portion (11), a guide piece (22) provided at the head of the bottom plate (13) is bent inward and covers a free end (20c) of the movable contact piece (20), preventing the free end from moving upward and guiding the insertion terminal.
Abstract:
A high-speed electrical connector is disclosed. The high-speed electrical connector connects a first electrical device having a first ground reference to a second electrical device having a second ground reference. The connector, which includes a connector housing and a signal contact, is devoid of any ground connection that is adapted to electrically connect the first ground reference and the second ground reference.
