A connector for terminating flat multiconductor cable has a plurality of funnel entries at one end thereof which communicate with grooves in oppositely facing sidewalls of the connector to guide the conductors in the cable to new centerlines for termination to slotted plate ground and signal terminals located in rows of cavities in each of the sidewalls. Signal terminals are located at the opposite end of the connector and ground conductors are located on a common bus spaced between the ends.

A pair of small diameter lead assemblies as a complete electrically and environmentally sealed matable high voltage connection suitable for use under rugged environmental conditions, have a plug element and a receptacle conditions, have a plug element and a receptacle element physically matable therewith. The lead assemblies can each include annular retention clips therearound enabling insertion into and retention within passageways of matable housings of a multi-terminal hybrid connector assembly, to enable certain existing connectors to be converted into use as high voltage connector assemblies for rugged conditions without housing modification. The plug has a small diameter dielectric annular shell with a socket terminal in an internal passageway; and the receptacle has a small diameter dielectric annular shell having a pin terminal in its internal passageway which is matable with the socket terminal. A forward receptacle portion of the receptacle surrounding the pin contact section snugly receives thereinto a forward reduced dimension plug portion of the plug. Spaced apart O-rings disposed along and tightly around the plug portion are compressed by the receptacle portion and assuredly seal the annular space therebetween, preventing generation of voltage discharge and minimizing corona formation thereat. The rearward passageway portions surrounding the existing conductor wires are potted to prevent voltage discharge and minimize corona formation thereat.

Apparatus for deploying a plurality of twisted pairs of wires and separating the two wires of each pair comprises a templet having recesses extending thereacross in one direction. Each recess has one portion which is dimensioned to receive a single twisted pair of wires and the one portion of each recess merges with another portion comprising two separate recesses, each of which is dimensioned to receive one wire only of a twisted pair. The twisted pairs are pressed onto the recesses by a roller which moves across the surface. A controller is mounted adjacent to, and in advance of, the roller and the twisted pairs extend from beneath the roller over the controller. When the roller approaches the portions of each recess which receive only a single wire, the spacing between the roller and the controller changes so that they are separated by a distance substantially equal to the diameter of a single wire. The spacing between the roller and the controller causes the individual twisted pairs to become untwisted so that the two wires of each twisted pair are pressed into the two recesses.

Wire feeding apparatus comprises pivotal feed wheels on axles which coact with fixed feed wheels on a drive shaft to feed wires therebetween. Each pivotal feed wheel is paired with a pivotal gear which meshes with a fixed gear paired to each fixed feed wheel so that all feed wheels are driven. Auxiliary feed wheels and gears driven by spur gears off the main drive shaft coact with auxiliary pivotal feed wheels and gears to provide a second level of wire feed. Entry wire guides diverge from a single plane to feed the two levels and exit wire guides converge to a single plane from which the wires emerge.

Apparatus for deploying a plurality of wires in predetermined co-planar relationship to each other comprises a templet plate having a plurality of wire-receiving grooves extending thereacross. The grooves diverge from each other so that wires positioned in the grooves will be located in predetermined spaced-apart relationship. The wires are pressed into the grooves by a roller which is movable across the templet plate. In order to control the wires and to ensure proper placement of the wires in the grooves, a controller member is disposed in front of the roller and movable with the roller across the templet. The controller elevates portions of the wires which are adjacent to the roller and approximately aligns the individual wires with the grooves into which they are to be pressed.

A high-density, electrical, connector for discrete wire coaxial cables includes one or more housing modules (21a, 21b, 21c, 121), adapted to receive one or more termination members (14, 126a, 126b) attached to the ends of coaxial cables (16, 116). Each termination member comprises a dielectric support (51, 134) having a signal contact (52, 142) supported on one side thereof and a ground contact (53, 131) supported on the opposite side thereof. The contacts include first and second connections (58, 61) on the same side of the support (51, 134) and substantially aligned with one another and with the cable. The ground contact (53, 131) includes a third crimp connection (60), aligned with the first and second connections (58, 61) and the cable.
摘要:
Panel-mount ground termination apparatus for terminating the outer shielding conductor of an electrical cable and for simultaneously mounting the cable to a panel. The apparatus includes a housing mounted to the panel and having an axial aperture for receiving the cable to be terminated; a flexible termination member having a plurality of inwardly extending, electrically conductive prongs positioned within the housing aperture and surrounding the cable; a compression member having a tapered, inner compression surface; and a housing closure member threadable onto the housing. As the closure member is threaded onto the housing, the compression member is urged into the housing aperture between the outer surface of the termination member and the sidewall of the housing aperture. The tapered compression surface of the compression member engages the outer surface of the termination member, compressing the termination member inwardly and driving the plurality of prongs into the cable and into engagement with the outer conductor of the cable. The prongs are preferably arranged in pairs, and the termination member includes curved surface portions which deform as the prongs are driven into the cable, causing the prongs of each prong pair to turn toward one another to firmly retain the outer conductor therebetween.

A grounding strap 10 for terminating the outer conductor 24 of an electrical cable. The grounding strap can include a plurality of outwardly convex surface portions 17 between adjacent pairs of prongs 16 which are flattened upon clamping of the strap 10 to the cable, causing the prongs 16a, 16b of each pair 16 to turn toward one another to retain the outer conductor 24 firmly therebetween. The grounding strap 10 is preferably cut to any desired length from a strip of continuous length for mounting to cables of any diameter, and does not require cutting of the cable or other initial preparation of the cable.
摘要:
A combing device for 90 degree axial rotation of a pair of adjacent cable conductors from an original axial orientation. The device comprises a profiled conductor manipulating channel adapted having an upper outwardly flared surface extending the longitudinal length of one sidewall defining the channel. A tapered cut is formed into the flared surface from one end of the channel, and is of decreasing depth therealong, terminating at a point on the flared sidewall surface. Upon simultaneously addressing two parallel and adjacent conductors into the channel at a suitable angle thereto, and drawing the conductors toward the opposite end of the channel while decreasing the angle therebetween, one conductor freely enters the channel, and the other conductor, after having been momentarily deterred by engagement against the tapered cut, rolls into the channel atop the first conductor.
