Abstract: The present invention relates to a chip carrier wherein the leads therefrom are formed into a closely spaced pattern. More particularly, the invention discloses the method of stamping and forming the leads to achieve a high density arrangement.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a connector of the type for electrically connecting an active device substrate unit for a PCB (printed circuit board). More particularly, the invention includes a dual-contact spring member having a buffer section so that forces exerted on one contact are not transmitted to the other contact.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an interconnect device to provide electrical connections between printed circuit boards or a supported flexible circuit board and a wire wrap connection or solder tail connection or the like. More specifically the preferred embodiment of the invention includes a device, stamped and formed from a coplanar strip of conductive material and having a double thickness leg on top of which is an elongated spring arm formed into a rectangular shape to reduce the height it occupies in a housing while providing high spring force. Additionally, stress-distribution means is incorporated into the device.

Abstract: A biorhythmic cycle indicator having three, sine-wave-contoured plates that slidingly overlay a backing plate that has a calendar strip. The plate contours and the calendar register to provide a graphic representation of a person's biorhythmic cycle.The contours of the sliding plates are illuminated to accent the component cycles.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for electrically interconnecting two printed circuit boards or the like where the conductive pads are on extremely close spacing. More particularly, the invention includes a plurality of resilient connectors embedded in an elastomeric material with opposing ends thereof being exposed on opposite surfaces of the elastomeric body to provide contact points.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for ejecting an electronic package from a connector. More particularly, the device includes a flat spring member adapted to be arched upwardly to push a electronic package out of engagement from the connector.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a connecting element of the type for interconnecting electrical circuits on two electronic component-carrying devices such as printed circuit boards and substrate devices. More particularly the invention discloses a connecting element having a symmetrical, sinuous shape so as to provide a spring section for exerting a determined contact force. Further, the connecting element has, as an integral part thereof, a shorting beam to provide a shorter electrical path and to provide a spring means to hold the element in a housing.
