  • Patent number: 9494303
    Abstract: A holder is disclosed that is configured to secure an LED array in position. An LED module is disclosed that includes an LED array that can be mounted to a suitable substrate and includes the holder the retain the LED array. The holder includes a housing that supports terminals that provide an electrical path to the LED array from an electrical power source. The housing and terminal provide a wire trap so that a conductor can be electrically connected to the LED array without the need for solder attach. The holder can be a one-piece or two-piece design.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6296510
    Abstract: A lever type electrical connector assembly includes a first connector having an actuating lever pivotally movably mounted thereon for movement between a preload position and a mating position. The actuating lever includes a cam groove formed therein. A latch is provided between the first connector and the actuating lever for holding the actuating lever in the preload position. A second connector includes a cam follower projection to be engaged in the cam groove of the actuating lever, whereby the connectors are mated and unmated in response to rotation of the actuating lever. A release is provided on the second connector for releasing the latch automatically as the connectors are mated to allow the actuating lever to move from the preload position to the mating position.

  • Patent number: 4491703
    Abstract: A linear DIP switch for mounting directly on a printed circuit board including a base, a slide actuator, and a cover member, wherein the base, slide actuator and cover member include a detenting and contact registration system. The base includes a plurality of contacts molded into a body of plastic so that they are electrically insulated from each other and selectively exposed on the slide actuator side through openings in the plastic body which define detenting and contact positions to receive contact arms carried by the slide actuator. Further detenting means includes ball detents carried by the slide actuator and engageable with indent track means on the cover side walls.
