摘要:
A terminal connector for retaining and supporting a female electrical terminal. The terminal connector is formed of an electrically insulating material and is configured such that the socket of the terminal and a portion of, but not the entire, edge of the terminal proximate said socket is exposed to allow access to the exposed portion by a probe to permit testing of the terminal.

An interface board for use, for example, in a motor vehicle to provide electrical interconnection between a plurality of electrical circuit control elements and a wiring harness. The board comprises a box structure including a plurality of circuit outlets on the upper face of the structure for plug in receipt of the electrical circuit control elements, a plurality of power outlets on a lower face of the structure for plug in receipt of electrical power input and output elements, and a series of electrical paths extending between the power outlets and a circuit control outlets. Each electrical path includes a first conductor extending generally parallel to the first and second faces and second conductors extending generally perpendicular to the first and second faces. The first conductors comprise flat ribbon elements and the second conductors comprise flat ribbon elements connected to the flat sides of the first conductors utilizing clinch joints.

A low insertion force, high current connector terminal for vehicular applications. The terminal includes a receptacle connector member having means for varying the inside diameter of a socket thereof, and a pin connector member insertable therein. The receptacle connector member includes an outboardly displaceable resilient finger having a first stop surface engageable with a second stop surface formed on the pin connector member to prevent accidental axial displacement of the two connector members. A slot and mating guide are disposed on, respectively, the receptacle connector member and the pin connector member, said slot and guide serving as both a guide means when the members are connected and also as an indexing means to prevent the connection of two non-mating connector members.

A wireless remote-control transmitter includes means for entering an identification code so that only an authorized operator can use the device. Use as a keyless entry system provides the owner of a vehicle equipped with a wireless receiver with an additional keypad-operated transmitter which may be vehicle mounted to perform some or all of the same functions as those available through an existing remote. In this embodiment, the keypad may be mounted behind a small section of the vehicle's window glass, with command inputs being sensed using electrical, magnetic, or optical detection techniques. To save on battery power, the system automatically powers down during periods of nonuse, with some form of wake-up signal being used to enter operational modes requiring increased power consumption.
摘要:
A low resistance current interrupter for detecting the occurrence of an unsafe condition and terminating power to an electrical circuit. The current interrupter comprises two in-line connectors having a gap formed therebetween. An electrically conductive pin is disposed in the gap for movement between a first, extended position, wherein the pin bridges the gap to establish electrical contact between the connectors, to a second, retracted position wherein electrical contact is broken. The device further includes means for sensing the occurrence of an unsafe condition and generating a signal indicative thereof, and an electromechanical means such as a solenoid which, upon receiving said electrical signal, is activated and causes the pin to move to the second position.

A piezoelectric switch assembly and method of manufacture. A piezoelectric module is provided which is comprised of a carrier disk and a wafer of piezoelectric material disposed thereon, with electrical leads connected thereto. The piezoelectric module is disposed inside a hollow recess formed in a switch plug, with the periphery of the carrier disk supported on a rim thereof. A disk of compressible material is disposed between the body of the plug and the piezoelectric module. The switch plug is inserted into a hollow chamber formed in a switch insert, said switch insert having a pressure receiving front wall. A front member is provided which is formed with an aperture for receiving the switch insert. Pressure on the pressure receiving front wall of the socket causes deformation of the piezoelectric wafer to generate an electrical signal which is received by circuitry attached to the electrical leads to effect one or more preselected switch functions.

A multiple terminal connector assembly comprises a male and female connector; each connector includes a plurality of sockets for receiving electrical terminal members and each further includes a wedge member for locking the terminals into the sockets. The connector assembly further includes a particularly configured sealing gasket associated with one of said connectors and a flange associated with the other of said connectors. The gasket and flange are operable to create a vertical seal which limits passage of moisture therepast. The connector assembly also includes a locking bolt for affixing the two connectors in mated engagement and an elastomeric seal extending along at least a portion of the length of the bolt.

A package for electrical components provides for environmentally sealed, internal connection to the component. The package is operative to lock the electrical terminals of the component to terminals associated with external leads. The package further includes a grommet for sealing the interior thereof from ambient conditions.
摘要:
An alarm condition sensor for triggering a signal incorporated in an alarm system and adapted to be mounted on a motor vehicle or other object to protect it against burglary, theft, tampering, or the like. The sensor comprises a sensing mass mounted atop a deformable substrate equipped with piezoelectric material operable to generate a signal voltage upon stressing or deformation of the substrate in response to forces effecting relative movement between the mass and the substrate. The sensor may be mounted on a cantilever spring support which enables the mass to move and thereby stress the substrate and generate a signal voltage. Voltage sensitive means responsive to voltages generated by the piezoelectric material is operable to trigger the alarm system. The sensitivity of the sensor is adjustable to vary the threshold value of the voltage operable to activate the alarm.
