An electrical connector having a plurality of electrical conductors with one portion thereof disposed in a housing and an end of such connector projecting outward from the housing and terminating in a pad disposed perpendicular to the housing disposed portion. The connector is provided adapted for mounting to an ball grid array disposed on a printed circuit board. The pad is coupled to the conductor through a curved interconnect. The interconnect is configured as an inductor to provide a series ...

The invention relates to a novel electrical switching device which comprises a switch panel 1 with series-connected and parallel-connected microrelay cells 3.

The invention relates to an electrical switch with a housing (2). In the housing (2) there is a contact system (3), to which a switching effect can be applied by means of an actuating member (6) which is arranged in an opening (5) on the housing (2) and partly protrudes out of the housing (2). The part of the actuating member (6) protruding out of the housing (2) as well as the opening (5) in the housing (2) is covered by a cap (9) allowing the movement of the actuating member (6). The cap (9) h...

An improved electrical contact according to the invention has a U-shaped base having a bottom and two opposing side walls that define a tab-receiving channel. The base has an open forward end for receiving a mating tab terminal and a rearward end with a middle region therebetween. A contact spring is disposed over the bottom and has a bridge which spans the bottom between the opposing side walls in the middle region of the base. A first contact arm extends from the bridge towards the forward end...

A connector includes an insulative housing defining a plurality of passageways for receiving pins therein. A buffering slot is defined in the housing corresponding to and adjacent each passageway. When pins are forcibly fit into the passageways, deformation is caused on the flexible walls for absorbing the stress/strain induced in the housing. The deformation of the flexible walls are accommodated by the corresponding buffering slots.

An electrical connector (1) includes an interconnecting part (10), a pair of upper and lower base plates (20) enclosing the interconnecting part, and a latching mechanism (30) attached to the lower base plate for latching and releasing a complementary connector. The interconnecting part has a dielectric body (12) and an circuit board (14) attached to the dielectric body. The circuit board forms on opposite ends thereof a plurality of gold fingers (17) for mating with the complementary connector ...

A composite circuit protection device includes a laminar insulating member and first and second laminar circuit protection devices. Each of the first and second laminar circuit protection devices includes (1) a first laminar electrode, (2) a second laminar electrode, (3) a laminar PTC resistive element which (i) exhibits PTC behavior, (ii) has a first face to which the first electrode is secured and an opposite second face to which the second electrode is secured, and (iii) defines first and sec...

A connector for an electrical cable, comprising a body in which is formed a passageway having a longitudinal axis, a contact element which projects into the passageway in order to make contact with the electrical cable when in the passageway, and a retaining element for hindering longitudinal withdrawal of the cable from the passageway, the retaining element comprising a pair of resiliently deformable lips extending into the passageway from a face thereof in a first direction transverse to the l...

An electrical connector for connection of a flat-type connection member includes a housing having an opening and a contact facing into the opening; and a cover pivotally movable between a close position and an open position. A support shaft for the pivotal movement of the cover is supported by a support portion of the housing as allowed to pivot and slidably move between a forward position and a rearward position. When the cover in the close position is slidably moved rearwardly along with the s...
