摘要:
A connector assembly formed by attaching two stamped housing sections to form a connector housing having a housing groove with a groove bottom and two side walls. The connector housings with spring can be used as a mechanical connector and/or as an electrical connector for numerous applications and across numerous industries. The groove geometries can easily be altered using different stamping dies.

A method of making a device with multi-stage engagement, the method comprising: releasably connecting a first component 22 to a second component 24 with a first canted coil spring 26, the connection being releasable with a first force exerted on at least one of the first component or the second component; releasably connecting the second component to a third component 28 with a second canted coil spring 30, the connection being releasable with a second force exerted on at least one of the second component or the third component; applying a progressively increasing force to the first component, the third component, or both the first and third components to disconnect the first connection before the second connection; and wherein the second force is less than the first force.

A connector assembly having a housing and a shaft; at least a groove in the housing or on the shaft; one of the housing and the shaft has a first component and a second component; there being at least a first groove configuration and a second groove configuration resulting from two different relative positions of the first and second components; the first and second groove configurations resulting in a first insertion force and a first removal force of the shaft into and from the housing and a second insertion force and a second removal force of the shaft into and from the housing, respectively.

Spring energized seal assemblies (100) each with one or two sealing elements (102) and a canted coil spring (120) located in a spring cavity (116) of the sealing element or of the two sealing elements to bias an inner flange (106) and an outer flange (108) of the respective spring cavity away from one another. The canted coil springs can have un-conventional coil shapes with one or more straight coil segments (150) and/or with curved connecting ends (152). The coils can have dimples (182) to provide multiple biasing points. The coils can have loops (170, 180). The canted coil springs with un-conventional coil shapes can be used to improve spring loading on a sealing element.

摘要:
Seal assembly designs for extreme temperatures that include material and structural designs to counteract sealing component shrinkage or expansion caused by thermal expansion or contraction. Provisions can be included to increase sealing stress along the outer seal lip (122) of the seal assembly for low temperature applications where shrinkage can be an issue and to increase sealing stress along the inner seal lip (120) of the seal assembly (108) for high temperature applications where expansion can be an issue.
摘要:
Aspects of the present disclosure include a connector, an array of connectors, a method for manufacturing the connectors, and a method for using the connectors. The connectors are capable of carrying electrical or electric signal and include geometries to operate in holding, latching, or locking applications. The connector can include a contact housing formed by a first electrically conductive housing, a second electrically conductive housing and a housing sealing component at least partially isolating said first and second electrically conductive housings from each other. A body, such as a pin, a rod, or an elongated member, is provided. A first electrically conductive spring is located in a first groove and a second electrically conductive spring is located in a second groove inside the contact housing. Wherein a first electrical path and a second electrical path are formed when the body is inserted into the contact housing. In other examples, more than two electrical paths can be provided.
