Abstract: An end cap for an inductive component is disclosed. The end cap has a receptacle configured to receive the inductive component along a longitudinal direction, a jaw extending in the longitudinal direction, and a guide device disposed on the jaw and configured to allow turning of a wire thereon.

Abstract: A coaxial connector for connecting a first printed circuit board to a second printed circuit board is disclosed. The coaxial connector has an inner conductor, an outer conductor, and a dielectric at least partially disposed between the inner conductor and the outer conductor. Each of the inner conductor, the outer conductor, and the dielectric is compressible.

Abstract: A system includes a first and second circuit electromagnetically coupled to establish a contact-less transmission, for example, between a vehicle body and a removable seat of the vehicle body. The first circuit includes a first inductor and the second circuit includes a second inductor. In order to detect in the first circuit the status of one or more input signals of the second circuit, the second circuit includes a signal generating portion including a resistor and a capacitor that generates, a time-pulsed signal. The second circuit is adapted to set a value of at least one of the resistor and the capacitor based on a sensed parameter and sets a duty cycle of the time-pulsed signal based on a value of at least one of the resistor and the capacitor. The time-pulsed signal changes a load of the second circuit over time which can be detected in the first circuit.

Abstract: A pin contact for pressing into electrical engagement with a plated section in a hole in a circuit board. The contact includes a deformable portion for engaging the plated section with a feed-through portion and a terminal portion at opposite ends thereof. An end part of the deformable portion adjacent to the feed-through portion is deformed prior to insertion of the deformable portion into the hole. This substantially eliminates deviation of the feed-through portion from a central longitudinal axis or rotational deviation of the contact caused by pressing of the contact into the hole. A method and apparatus for making the contact are also disclosed.

Abstract: A printed circuit board provided with an attachment which surrounds surface contacts of the printed circuit board that are to be contacted by a printed circuit board connector that covers the portion of the printed circuit board and edges of the printed circuit board around the surface contacts and includes recesses corresponding to the surface contacts assuring proper connection with contacts of a printed circuit board connector.

Abstract: A printed circuit board and a printed circuit board zero force connector are configured such that the printed circuit board zero force connector is properly actuated automatically by an attachment provided on the printed circuit board when the printed circuit board is plugged into and removed from the printed circuit board zero force connector.

Abstract: A printed circuit board zero insertion force connector incorporating an actuating member, by which the printed circuit board zero insertion force connector can be moved from an assembly position permitting insertion or removal of a printed circuit board into a connecting position properly contacting the printed circuit board and/or vice versa, is made by means of an element which simultaneously serves to lock the printed circuit board to the arrangement containing the printed circuit board zero insertion force connector or to remove it therefrom.
