Abstract: An upper member for inducting power in a coupler assembly having an electromagnet core is a subassembly of a top body member and a bottom body member which enclose a circuit substrate. The circuit substrate is disposed within a cavity between the top and bottom body members, and includes electrical components surface mounted on at least one surface of the circuit substrate. EMI/RFI shielding is formed by plating of at least the surfaces around the cavity surrounding the circuit substrate, and conductively joining the top and bottom body members completely surrounding the circuit substrate thereby protecting the electrical components from EMI/RFI interference.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly (10) includes a receptacle (12) and a plug (14) engageable with the receptacle (12) to form electrical connections between terminals (42,20) carried by the receptacle and plug. A shunt (52) in the plug (14) is in engagement with a pair of socket terminals (42) when the plug is at least partially disengaged from the receptacle; but when the connectors are fully mated, a cam post (90) on the receptacle (12) enters the plug (14) and moves and holds the shunt (52) out of engagement with the socket terminals (42). The commoning connection is broken when the plug is fully mated with the receptacle, and will become reestablished when plug (14) is or begins to become disconnected from receptacle (12).

Abstract: A contact terminal for insertion into a plated through-hole of a printed circuit board is formed from thin metal stock of uniform thickness with a tubular compliant mounting section. A plurality of slits are spaced around the mounting section, and along one side of each slit are a pair of outward projections to engage the wall of the plated through-hole so that the metal on one side of each slit is deflected radially inwardly by the plated through-hole when the terminal is inserted, to mechanically secure the terminal therein. Outer edges of the projections along the slits penetrate the plating material during insertion. A method for making such a terminal includes piercing the mounting portion area of the blank, forming slits therein, forming projections along one side of each slit to extend out of the plane of the blank, and rolling at least that portion of the terminal into a tubular shape so that the pairs of projections extend radially outwardly.

Abstract: A system of removably retaining a terminal (16) within a housing passageway (40) includes opposing resilient walls (46A,46B) defining a forward end of the passageway (40) with opposing stop projections (54) extending toward each other and disposed in corresponding notches (26) along first and third sides of the terminal (16), which stop axially rearward terminal movement. A bored shaft (98) of a removal tool (70) is placed over a contact section (18) of the terminal (16) extending outwardly from the housing (12), which tool (70) has a pair of triangular tines (100) at the work end of the tool shaft (98) to be disposed along second and fourth sides of the terminal (16). When the tines (100) are positioned between the walls (46A,46B) and the tool (70) is urged against the housing (12) the tapered side surfaces (104A,104B) of the tines (100) bear against portions of opposing walls ( 46A,46B) adjacent second and fourth terminal sides, locally deflecting outwardly the walls (46A,46B) and their stop projections (54) away from the terminal's first and third sides, whereafter the terminal (16) is now axially movable along the passageway (40) such as by a plunger of the tool (70) for removal.

Abstract: An improved electrical terminal is disclosed having a smooth surface of transition between a contact portion and a crimp portion of the terminal providing both strength for the terminal and an exterior surface which allows the terminal to be moved through a sealing membrane without damage to the membrane. The terminal is stamped and formed from conventional metal stock and has additional base material in an area formed into a conical shape by die tooling. When the terminal is crimped to a conductor, the transition and crimp area are simultaneously closed to provide a smooth strong transition between the crimp and the remainder of the terminal.

The retention projections (42,130) seat in a recess (82,86) of the key member retention section (56) to secure the key member (50) in the passageway (28,114) against axial movement or misalignment while another polygonal shaped passageway section (36,122) secures a polygonal shaped section (52) of the key member (50) against rotation. The retention projections (42,130) are preferably annular or semiannular to seat in an annular recess (82,86). In one embodiment the key member (50) can be retained in the passageway (114) by a transverse plate-like member (142) inserted into a transverse slot (128) in the connector housing (110) which has fingers (146) passing by the key member ( 50) on opposing sides in an annular recess (82) and secure therearound to prevent axial movement, and the key member (50) in return can secure to the housing (10) the plate-like member (142) which may be a section of a spring latch (140) to latch the connector (100) to a mating connector (10).
