Abstract: An electrical bushing for use in connection with an electrical apparatus which includes a replaceable stud connector. The replaceable stud has a pair of axially aligned threaded shanks on each side of a flange. The flange on the replaceable stud engages a flange on an electrical conductor in the bushing when one of the threaded shanks of the replaceable stud is threaded into a threaded bore in the electrical conductor, whereby any breakage of the replaceable stud will tend to occur in the other threaded shank.

Abstract: A retractable power center (100) for providing conveniently located electrical power source receptacles (170) is adapted to be mounted in a work surface (104) such as a desk top or similar article of furniture. The power center (100) is manually operable and includes a stationary upper housing (108) received within a slot (102) formed in the work surface, and a clamping arrangement (118, 128, 138) to secure the housing (108) to the work surface (104). In addition, a manually movable and slideable power carriage (150) is utilized to mount the receptacles (170). In response to manually exerted forces on the power carriage (150), the carriage can be extended upward into an open position. Relatively small bosses (180) extend laterally from lateral sides of the carriage (150) and provide a means to support the carriage (150) in its extended position, with the bosses (180) resting on the top portion of the housing (108).

Abstract: A coaxial cable connector a body of which has, on one surface, a receptacle including first and second terminal members for electric connection thereto of an end plug of a coaxial cable and, on other surfaces, means for mounting the connector, in common, to a generally used mounting frame for house wiring modules, to be contributive to simplification of house wiring works and prevention of any deterioration of the electric connection.

Abstract: A terminal for a coil has a housing made of molded insulating material; a lug made of electrically conducting material and having at least three fingers protruding from a first end; a support molded into the housing for supporting the lug, the lug being capable of rotation about the support; and a shelf. The shelf has a first surface and a second surface, the shelf is capable of accepting at least one of the three fingers along the first surface, the shelf is capable of accepting at least two of the at least three fingers along the second surface, and the at least three fingers touch the shelf and prevent the first end of the lug from rotating about the support; and a hook is molded into the housing for securing a second end of a lug and for preventing rotation of the lug about the support in order to secure the lug to the housing. The first surface and the second surface of the shelf may be substantially planar parallel surfaces.

Abstract: A system for interconnecting orthogonally disposed printed circuit boards in first and second stacks comprises first contact members on facing edges of the boards of the two stacks used to interconnect the boards. A mother board is disposed perpendicular to and between the two stacks of boards. Second contact members are disposed on the same facing edges of the boards as the first contact members. They define with the first contact members a series of first multiway plug-in connectors along the respective edge of each board in the first stack and a series of second multiway plug-in connectors along the respective edge of each board in the second stack. The mother board comprises a distribution network in the form of an array of conductive tracks assigned to distributing signals to the boards. The mother board also carries connecting contact members and distribution contact members connected to the distribution network.

Abstract: A connector assembly for an anti-skid hydraulic braking system comprises a bulkhead connector extending through an aperture in a sidewall of the brake fluid reservoir, a connector harness mounted along the inside of the reservoir sidewalls extending from the bulkhead connector to three solenoid assemblies mounted on the reservoir floor, and a solenoid connector on each solenoid assembly in engagement with the connector harness. The solenoids extend through floor apertures into the master cylinder to respective hydraulic lines extending to brake cylinders in the wheels, one of the solenoids handling both rear wheels. The bulkhead connector mates with a connector outside the reserovir which is terminated to a wire harness connected to the on-board microprocessor to relay current to the solenoids when data from individual wheel speed sensors is processed to determine that a particular wheel is about to skid.

Abstract: An RF interconnect between a printed circuit board and a coaxial connector mounted in a housing is self-aligning along all three major axes. The coaxial connector has a pin connected to its inner conductor that extends beyond the edge of the outer conductor. The outer conductor has an external circumferential groove. The interconnect includes two terminals wherein the first terminal includes a substantially "M" shaped wire formed conductor having five functional segments: two flexible attaching segments near the ends of the wire, two substantially parallel pin contact segments, and a joining segment connecting the pin contact segments. The coaxial connector pin is inserted between the parallel pin contact segments of the wire formed conductor and a clamping force is generated on the pin by the joining segment. The second terminal includes a flat flexible conductor that has a "U" shaped lug at one end and a snap ring at the other end which is inserted into the groove of the coaxial connector.
