摘要:
The present invention provides for a self-aligned, panel mounted cord set, a method of manufacture therefor and an electronic equipment chassis employing the same. One end of the cord set is mounted in an aperture on a panel of an electronic equipment chassis (typically a back panel). The cord set self-aligns when mounted in the aperture to provide a mating connection with an electronic module housed in the chassis. In one embodiment of the invention the self-aligned panel mounted cord set has an elongated body with first and second opposing ends. Coupled to the first end is a power cord configured to mate with an electrical source, such as an AC wall outlet. Coupled to the second end is an electronic module connector configured to mate with the electronic module. About the elongated body is a flange with an alignment post thereon configured to align the elongated body with respect to the panel when positioned in the aperture.
摘要:
An apparatus for effecting an improved electrical connection structure between a component and a substrate in an installed orientation is employed where the component presents at least one electrical connection lead for establishing the electrical connection. The apparatus includes a mass of compressible dielectric material substantially fixedly situated between the component and the substrate in the installed orientation in substantially surrounding relation about the at least one electrical connection lead and substantially in register with the component.
