Abstract:
A connector system for attaching a probe (500) to a probe shaft mating, assembly (400) comprising: a probe shaft mating assembly comprising a connector body (401), a plunger chamber (415) located within the connector body, a spring (450) located within the plunger chamber, a locking ball channel (421) extending through the connector body from the plunger chamber to the outer surface of the connector body, a locking ball (420) located within the locking ball channel, and a plunger (410) located within the plunger chamber adjacent to the spring, wherein the locking ball is in contact with the outer surface of the plunger; a probe comprising a probe body (501), a probe shaft chamber (517) located within the probe shaft facing end of the probe body, and a locking ball receiver (520) located in the probe body adjacent to the probe shaft chamber; wherein the diameter of the probe shaft chamber is larger than that of the probe shaft mating assembly such that when the plunger and the spring are moved from a first position to a second position, the locking ball moves inwardly towards the plunger chamber and below the outer surface of the connector body allowing the probe facing end of the probe shaft mating assembly to enter the probe shaft chamber, and when the plunger and spring are moved from the second position to the first position, the locking ball moves towards the surface of the connector body, extending beyond the outer surface of the connector body such that the locking ball engages the locking ball receiver and fixes the probe to the probe shaft mating assembly.
Abstract:
An electrical connector has a body with a number of probes. Each probe has a spring biased pin with a contact tip, and includes a sleeve receiving the pin. Each sleeve has a first end connected to an incoming conductor, a second end connected to the body and from which the pin protrudes, and an intermediate portion suspended out of contact with the body. The sleeve may be spaced apart from adjacent sleeves, and suspended in air except at their ends. The probes may each be connected to coaxial cables, with alternating probes connected in alternating fashion to coaxial cam e shields and signal conductors.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an electrical connector apparatus, system and method for use with medical devices. In an alternative embodiment, the apparatus of the present invention comprises a first component comprising a first electrical connector adapted to electrically couple with a medical device, and a second component for establishing a connection with an electrical circuit, preferably a microprocessor. The device of the present invention is especially suited for use with medical devices useful in detecting extravasation in an individual undergoing a fluid injection procedure, because it allows for patient mobility, ease of connection and disconnection and more efficient use of medical equipment such as CT scanning equipment.
Abstract:
Dargestellt und beschrieben ist eine elektrische Steckvorrichtung, insbesondere für I/O-Schnittstellen an Mobiltelefonen, Kleincomputem od. dgl. Geräten, die eine Gerätebuchse mit Kontakten umfassen, welche jeweils eine Kontaktstimfläche aufweisen, die von zugeordneten Kontakten einer als Stecker wie Geräte- oder Kabelstecker ausgebildeten Steckvorrichtung kontaktierbar sind, wobei die Kontakte der Steckvorrichtung unter Wirkung einer sie in Steckrichtung vorspannenden Federkraft stehen, um mit ihren Spitzen bzw. freien Enden die Kontaktstimflächen der Gerätebuchsenkontakte in Richtung der Kontaktlängsachse zu beaufschlagen. Die Erfindungsgemäße Besonderheit der Steckvorrichtung besteht darin, dass die Kontakte unter Eigenfederspannung stehen und zumindest im Bereich ihrer Kontaktierabschnitte in Steckrichtung längsbeweglich im Isolierkörper gelagert sind. Bei einer besonderen Ausführung ist vorgesehen, dass der Kontakt als wellen- bzw. mäanderförmige Feder ausgebildet ist, die sich bei Druckbelastung etwa ziehharmonikaartig verformt. Die Erfindung stellt damit eine Steckvorrichtung zur Verfügung, bei der die Abfederung der Kontakte vereinfacht ist. Die Kontakte sind so geschickt ausgebildet und/oder angeordnet, dass sie selbst ihre axiale Federvorspannung bzw. Federkräfte erzielen bzw. sicherstellen können, ohne dass die Steckvorrichtung auf Fremdfedem angewiesen ist.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a electrical connector with end contacts for high-intensity currents consisting of an active base (1) and a plug (2) provided with at least one contact pin (11) which is connected to an electric cable (16) and designed to co-operate with an elastic contact (6) of the base (1), said elastic contact (6) being housed in an insulation (3) of said base, while said insulation is provided with a passage opening (10) for inserting the contact pin (11). Said connector is characterized in that at least the penetrating part of the contact pin (11) of the plug has a substantially constant cross-section whereof the dimensions are at most slightly smaller than the dimensions of the cross-section of the passage opening (10) of the insulation (3) of the base (1) while the electric cable (16) whereto the pin (11) is connected, has a surface with cross-section much larger than that of the penetrating part of said pin.
Abstract:
An improved system and method for interconnecting an electrical device to a connector is provided. A connector assembly includes at least one connector block. The connector block may be of a type adapted to mechanically and electrically couple to an electrical lead, although any other type of connector for forming an electrical contact may be employed. The connector assembly further includes at least one weld plate. A conductor such as a wire is routed between the connector block and the weld plate and electrically coupled to both structures. The connector assembly is adapted to be fastened to a device housed within an enclosure, such as an implantable medical device residing within a can. A conductor extending from circuitry within the housing may be electrically coupled to the weld plate to thereby form an electrical connection between the circuitry and the connector block.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a test needle for a raster-matching adapter of a device for testing printed circuit boards. Said test needle is characterised in that the needle has a contact area which tapers conically to form a free contact tip of said needle for contacting a circuit-board test point. The contact area is at least 15 mm long and the diameter of the test needle at the tip is less than or equal to 0.2 mm. An end section of the contact area which lies opposite the contact tip is has a diameter which is at least 0.1 mm larger than the diameter at the contact tip. The inventive needle can be used to scan the narrowest structures on printed circuit boards. The needle is more rigid than known needles for scanning comparable structures. This simplifies both its handling and the construction of a raster-matching adapter, in which the test needles are used.

Methods and apparatuses for electrically connecting a medical glucose monitor to a glucose sensor set, as well as for testing the operation of the glucose monitor, monitor cable and glucose sensor set are provided. In one embodiment, an electric cable comprises a cable member, a first connector and a second connector. The cable member in turn comprises at least one insulated conductor, a conductive shielding layer disposed around the at least one insulated conductor; and an insulating layer disposed around the conductive shielding layer. A glucose monitoring system test plug provides for a releasable electrical connection with the electric cable. In one embodiment, the test plug comprises a housing and a fitting affixed thereto which is adapted to electrically couple the test plug with the electric cable. The test plug further includes an electrical circuit that produces a signal that is read by the glucose monitor to test the operational performance of the glucose monitor and the electric cable when the test plug is coupled to the electric cable and when the electric cable is coupled to the glucose monitor.
