Abstract: A peripheral wedge seal member for use with a plug connector housing and a receptacle connector housing. The peripheral wedge seal member includes a deformable body which has tapered walls which extend from a thicker first end to a less thick second end. Each of the walls has a first surface and a second surface which is angled with respect to the first surfaces. Each of the walls has a compliant section which absorbs forces transmitted by the plug connector housing, the receptacle connector housing or both. Each compliant section has at least one groove extending along the first surface and at least one support rib provided proximate the at least one groove.

Abstract: An electrode assembly for a sensor catheter tip includes a first electrode and a second electrode each having a central axis. The two electrodes are axially aligned and spaced apart along the axis. Each of the first and second electrodes comprises a contact aperture spaced from the center axis, and a contact. element positioned within each of the contact apertures. The center axis of each of the first and second electrodes is substantially aligned, and the contact elements corresponding to each of the first and second electrodes are offset, thereby providing staggered contact points for each respective electrode.

Abstract: A wire management transition system configured for placement in a floor panel of an aircraft system, and to be secured beneath a tracking strip. The system is configured to secure both data and power cables without damage to the wires. A top portion and bottom portion interconnect and are configured with grooves to secure both the data cables and power cables and prevent the cables from damage and external forces.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a plurality of contacts, and an outer shell having a cavity formed therein. The cavity extends between a loading end and a mating end of the outer shell, and the mating end is configured to join with a mating connector. A front dielectric member includes a base portion and an appendage extending from a rear end of the base portion. The base portion and the appendage have contact passages receiving the contacts. A rear dielectric member includes a hollow interior and contact passages extending between front and rear ends of the rear dielectric member and defining the hollow interior. The front end of the rear dielectric member contacts the rear end of the front dielectric member such that the appendage is positioned within the hollow interior of the rear dielectric member. The contact passages of the appendage and the rear dielectric member cooperate to surround the contacts.

Abstract: An electrical connector system is adapted for placement into a recessed space defining a raceway formed in a floor of an aircraft having an open region. The electrical connector system includes a first connector and a second connector connectable along a first axis. A frame is provided. The first connector is selectably movable in the frame along the first axis in response to movement of a frame portion, with the second connector being constrained by the frame to resist movement along the first axis. Movement of the frame portion permits selective engagement and disengagement between the first and second connectors, the frame portion being accessible from the open region.

Abstract: A stackable modular connector assembly, is provided. The stackable modular connector assembly includes a track having a pair of juxtaposed rails each defining an elongate channel formed therein. Desirably, the channels are oriented toward one another. The stackable modular connector assembly further includes a plurality of connector shells operatively engageable with the track. Desirably, each connector shell extends between the opposed channels of the pair of rails and is slidably stackable within the channels of the track.

Abstract: An electrical contact assembly includes a contact, a front shell member, and a rear shell member. The front shell member has a core with a front contact passage therethrough to receive the contact. The core is formed with a shroud extending from a front end of the front shell member, and the shroud surrounds and defines a cavity. The front shell member is formed of an integral single piece of non-conductive material. The rear shell member has a core with a rear contact passage therethrough to receive the contact. The rear shell member is coupled to the front shell member such that the front and rear contact passages are substantially aligned along a contact passage axis. The rear shell member is formed of an integral single piece of non-conductive material.

Abstract: A seal for an electrical connector in a connector block having a connector channel with a keyway is provided. The seal includes a tubular body that defines a longitudinal axis therethrough. The body includes a forward portion defining a forward end and a rearward portion defining a rearward end. The body is configured to be received in a connector channel in the connector block. A key portion extends longitudinally along an outer surface of the body. The key portion is configured to be received in the keyway in the connector channel. The body and the key portion seal the connector channel in the connector block when the connector is loaded into the connector block.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes an outer shell having a cavity formed therein and a front dielectric member having a base portion and an insulating sleeve extending from the base portion. The base portion has contact passages formed therein that extend between front and rear ends of the base portion, wherein the contact passages are configured to receive contacts. The electrical connector also includes a rear dielectric member having open sided contact passages extending between front and rear ends of the rear dielectric member. The contact passages are configured to receive the contacts such that at least a portion of the contacts are exposed laterally through open sides of the contact passages. The front end of the rear dielectric member is inserted at least partially into the insulating sleeve.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes a receptacle, a first ground plane partitioning the receptacle, a plug configured to mate with the receptacle, and a second ground plane partitioning the plug. Each of the first and second ground planes are in mechanical and electrical contact with one another when the plug is mated to the receptacle.
