  • Patent number: 11539155
    Abstract: A contact assembly for a connector housing includes an adapter element and a contact element. The adapter element has a sleeve with a lead-through opening extending in an axial direction of the sleeve and with a threaded bore extending perpendicularly to the lead-through opening through the sleeve. The contact element is adapted to be inserted into the lead-through opening and latched to the sleeve. The contact element may exhibit varying types of a cable connection section and/or a contact section. The adapter element is receivable within the connector housing and may accept the contact element regardless of the type of cable connection section and/or contact section.

  • Patent number: 11129276
    Abstract: A socket assembly comprises a base frame formed of a thermally conductive material holding a light emitting diode (LED) package to a support structure, a contact element electrically contacting the LED package, and an isolator PCB. The LED package includes an LED PCB having an LED mounted on the LED PCB. The base frame includes a base mounted to the support structure and mechanically engaging the LED PCB so that the LED package is attached to the support structure with a predetermined holding force. The contact element electrically connects the isolator PCB to the LED PCB. The isolator PCB supplies electrical power to the LED. The isolator PCB has a first surface and a second surface; the second surface is in heat transmitting contact with the base frame and the electronic component is disposed on the first surface of the isolator PCB and electrically connected to the LED.

  • Patent number: 7427911
    Abstract: The invention provides an electrical device having improved insulation and reduced partial discharge. The electrical device comprises an electrically conductive resistive element provided on a heat transfer medium for transferring heat from the element. The heat transfer medium includes a layer or body of electrically conductive material and a layer of thermally conductive dielectric material disposed between the element and the electrically conductive material. A continuous film of electrically insulating material, for example a silica over-glaze or polymer encapsulant, is applied around the perimeter of the resistive element to surround the element with the film overlying the edge or edges of the element and the ceramic material adjacent thereto.
