Abstract:
A progammable power supply for providing a regulated DC output power is disclosed. The power supply provides the output power to any one of a plurality of electronic devices adapted for receiving the output power at an operational voltage or an operational current. The power supply receives a programming signal to maintain the output power at the operational voltage or operational current associated with a particular selected electronic device. Accordingly, by varying the programming signal, the power supply can be programmed to provide output power to any one of several electronic devices having differing input power requirements.
Abstract:
A spring-loaded device is installed into a node housing at a predetermined location. The predetermined location is selected to correspond to another predetermined location into which a stinger may be installed. These predetermined locations on the node housing are selected to further correspond to a predetermined internal location of an RF interface connector. A conducting pin of the RF interface extends through a dielectric between a nail head shaped end, which provides electrical connection with the stinger projection, and an end soldered to a PCB of the amplifier. The amplifier may be installed and the node housing closed before the stinger and spring-loaded device are installed into the housing. This facilitates installation of the stinger into the housing without having to open the housing and remove the amplifier. External threads on the spring-loaded device facilitate installation thereof, but a unique torque is not required therefor.

Abstract:
A method is provided for tuning the impedance of an electrical switching connector. A pair of switch terminals are provided with operatively engageable contact portions. A pair of ground terminals are juxtaposed alongside the switch terminals. The spacing between at least one of the ground terminals and one of the switch terminals is adjusted to adjust the capacitance therebetween and, thereby, adjust the impedance of the connector. An overlapping area between one of the switch terminals and one of the ground terminals can be adjusted to adjust the capacitance therebetween and, thereby, adjust the impedance of the connector.
Abstract:
Coaxial connector provided with a body (20) of electroconductive material which extends in the casing (1) of the connector between the connection ends (18, 19) and is electrically separated therefrom. The body (20) functions as a capacitive coupling medium between the connection ends (18, 19) and thus influences the electrical connection impedance of the connector. Because a body of magnetic material (21) is accommodated at the same time, an inductive coupling can be provided and frequency-dependent impedance matching is possible.
Abstract:
A new, small form factor power supply is disclosed that provides a regulated DC power supply in a package that radiates relatively little heat and that occupies 2.85.times.5.0.times.0.436 inches. The secondary coil of the transformer is positioned at the summing node of the flux of the primary coils and the phase of the drive signals provided to the secondary coils is regulated to control the current and voltage provided by the secondary circuit. Preferably, all circuit components are surface mount devices and the transformer cores are E block planar cores mounted on the printed circuit board.
Abstract:
An electrical connector includes a dielectric body mounting a flexible leaf-type terminal which has a spring contact portion for surface engagement with a contact element of a mating connector component. The body includes a partition-like wall defining oppositely facing sides and an end face thereof. The terminal is fixed adjacent one side of the wall, and the spring contact portion of the terminal is bowed around the end face of the wall and spaced therefrom for flexingly surface engaging the contact element of the mating connector component in a given direction generally perpendicular to the end face of the wall. The terminal has a distal end at the end of the spring contact portion located in a recessed area in the other side of the wall. The distal end thereby preloads the spring contact portion and resists flexing of the spring contact portion if engaged in a direction generally toward the one side of the wall.
