Patent number: 6835077Abstract: A card connector having a lock member that engages with a card. It is constructed so that when a card is forcefully removed while in a locked state, neither the card nor the lock member is damaged. When a cutout of the card is engaged by the lock member, a free end portion of the lock member is positioned by a support surface of a housing, thereby preventing outward deformation thereof. If a force is applied to forcefully pull out the card while in this state, an engagement surface of the lock member is pushed by the cutout so that an engagement protrusion elastically deforms in a twisting manner, causing the engagement of the cutout therewith to be released.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2002Date of Patent: December 28, 2004Assignee: Tyco Electronics AMP K.K.Inventors: Keishi Ikeda, Junya Tsuji

Patent number: 6816002Abstract: A circuit arrangement is described which provides an approximately constant current despite a fluctuating supply voltage. A first bipolar transistor having it's base-emitter path connected in series with a parallel combination of the base-emitter path of a second bipolar transistor and a second resistor. The collector voltage of the second bipolar transistor controls a third bipolar transistor as a bypass to the base-emitter path of the first bipolar transistor and opposes variation of the base-emitter voltage of the first bipolar transistor. If, for example, the base-emitter voltage of the first bipolar transistor increases as a result of a higher supply voltage, the collector current of the third bipolar transistor is increased and thus the increase in the base current of the first bipolar transistor is reduced, thereby causing negative feedback.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2003Date of Patent: November 9, 2004Assignee: Tyco Electronics AMP GmbHInventor: Juergen Bruck

Patent number: 6787701Abstract: The invention relates to a waterproof grommet having a first member (20) and a second member (30). The first member (20) has a first sealing part (22) formed on the inner surface of a through-hole (21) through which an electrical wire connected to a contact is passed. The first sealing part (22) adheres tightly to the electrical wire. The second member (30) has a second sealing part (32) formed on the outer surface of the through-holes (21) that adheres tightly to the connector housing (40). The first member (20) is formed from an elastic material that has a lower hardness than that of the second member (30). As a result, splitting of the inner surface of the through-holes (21) is prevented without causing any deterioration of the waterproof properties of the joint between the connector housing and the waterproof grommet.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2001Date of Patent: September 7, 2004Assignee: Tyco Electronics, AMP, K.K.Inventors: Noboru Yasuda, Noriaki Sai

Patent number: 6786781Abstract: There is provided a male contact having improved electrical contact reliability with a female contact. The male contact has a mating section capable of being formed compactly using a plate member having a plate thickness satisfying a desired strength requirement. The male contact 1 has a mating section 10 formed in such a manner that two plate members 11 and 12, which individually extend from a base 20, are superimposed on one another by folding on the base 20. The mating section 10 has flat sections 15 extending in a mating direction P, wherein outer surfaces of the two plate members 11-1 and 12-1 are formed flat. A tip 13 of one of the two plate members 12 is folded to overlap a tip 14 of the other plate member 11. This feature makes it hard to open the plate members 11 and 12 when the male contact is mated with the female contact.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2003Date of Patent: September 7, 2004Assignees: Tyco Electronics AMP, K.K., Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Noriaki Sai, Toshiaki Kohno, Masanori Wakui, Keiichi Itou, Kazuyuki Shiraki, Atushi Nishida
