An electrical connector includes an insulative housing having front and rear faces and top and bottom faces connecting the front and rear faces. A front shielding member includes a base plate attached to the front face of the housing and has a top flange partly overlapping the top face of the housing and covering recesses defined in the top face of the housing. The top face defines recesses exposed to the rear face thereby forming channels between the housing and the top flange. A rear conductiv...

A method is described of generating an electrical output signal (CFCS) from an electrical input signal (CS) wherein the input signal (CS) is first clipped (12) and then filtered (13) into the output signal (CFCS). The invention is characterized in that the input signal (CS) is clipped dependant on the succeeding filtering. Thereby, a finite power peak capacity of a succeeding amplifier is not exceeded.

An improved voltage unipolar generator utilizing a pair of electrically interconnected, counter-rotating, circumferentially segmented, conductive disks. Rolling contacts such as conductive balls or tapered pins are used to electrically interconnect the two counter-rotating disks in a manner that places the majority of the disks' segments in an electrical series. An axially magnetized co-rotating, neodymium-iron-boron permanent magnet having a diameter similar to said disks is the preferred field...

An electrical cable for the transmission of high-frequency signals via signal lines (6, 7, 6A, 7A) in the cable has a dielectric profile (1A) for receiving strip-shaped conductors (6, 7, 6A, 7A) in the longitudinal direction of the cable as the signal lines. The strip-shaped conductors have main contours in cross section that extend partially around effective centers of the magnetic fields created by electric currents through the signal lines.

An electrical connector of the present invention includes a contact having a first retaining portion; and a housing having an accommodating cavity for accommodating the contact and a second retaining portion that confronts the first retaining portion in such a manner as to prevent the contact from moving in a direction for the contact to be taken out from the cavity when the contact is in the state of being accommodated in the cavity. The housing comprising a first member arranged at a side from...

According to the present invention there is provided a modified stamped sheet metal connector comprising an enhanced cylindrical housing having an entry end aperture and an exit end aperture. The entry end aperture can accept the snap-in spring steel adapter of U.S. Pat. No. 6,080,933 as well as the exit end peripheral spring steel locking ring described in this patent to provide a connector that allows rapid and simplified installation of armored cable into a junction or circuit box. The improv...

A contact 24 and a conductor plate 26, 27 are held in the housing 21 so that portions of the contact 24 except its end portion 24a and the plate 26, 27 can be put in a parallel relation to each other. Also, a contact 34 is held in the housing 31 so that when the connector 2 and 3 are fitted to each other, portions of the contact 34 except its end portion 34a and the plate 26, 27 can be put in a parallel relation with each other. Further, the end portions 24a and 34a are so shaped that the distan...

The present invention relates to an electrical transformer which includes a primary winding coupled to first and second magnetic circuits. A magnetic flux is driven through the magnetic circuits by the primary winding. First and second secondary windings are also provided, each associated with a respective one of the magnetic circuits and being electrically connected together in series opposition. A closed superconducting fault current winding is also provided to link with the magnetic flux in t...

An electrical switch comprising a casing and a rotor supported within the casing for rotation about an axis. The rotor has a first surface extending around the axis and a second surface extending transversely of the axis. A moving contact is mounted on the rotor for rotation therewith, which has first and second inter-connected parts adjacent the first and second rotor surfaces respectively. A plurality of fixed contacts is located laterally of the rotor for short-circuiting by the moving contac...

This invention prevents terminals 4 and 5 from being abraded or ground at contacting portions due to vibrations. An end of a male terminal 5 is secured in a part of a stepped hole 16 in a rear wall portion 12 and the other end off the terminal 5 18 coupled to a female terminal 4. Even if the female terminal 4 is displaced due to vibrations in a coupled position relative to the male terminal 5, the male terminal 5 can elastically deflect in another part of the stepped hole 16 in accordance with a...
