  • Publication number: 20140049933
    Abstract: The invention relates to space-saving micro- and nano-components and to methods for producing same. The components are characterized in that they do not comprise a rigid substrate having a considerable thickness. The mechanical stresses, which result in deformations and/or warpage within a component, are compensated by means of a mechanically stress-compensated design and/or by means of active mechanical stress compensation by depositing suitable stress compensation layers such that there is no need for relatively thick substrates. Thus, the overall thickness of the components is decreased and the integration options thereof in technical systems are improved. In addition, the field of application of such components is expanded.

  • Publication number: 20030207610
    Abstract: For a detachable electrical connection of high-current contacts with cable strands, a clamping device is proposed that is formed from a clamping tube and a contact part. The clamping tube is provided with a funnel-shaped connection opening and a connection chamber, into which the cable strands are insertable, wherein a clamping shoulder with a conical surface provided in the connection chamber adjoins the connection opening. The contact part, which can be screwed in the centre of the clamping tube and is thus displaceable axially, likewise has a conical surface, which penetrates the centre between the bared strands on assembly and presses these against the conical surfaces and the clamping shoulder. The angles of the conical surfaces in the connection chamber and the contact part are executed differently in this case.

  • Patent number: 6544048
    Abstract: A plug connector for mounting on a circuit board is proposed, having a carrier body (10), at least one surface mounting contact member (20) disposed in the carrier body and at least one pass-through mounting contact member (38) which is also disposed in the carrier body. In this manner; a good mechanical connection between the carrier body and the circuit board is achieved due to the pass-through mounting contact member, while the surface mounting contact member enables quick signal transmission towards the conductor track.

  • Publication number: 20030060077
    Abstract: For a connection between two multiple electrical conductors, a connecting arrangement is proposed which consists of a casing that can be disassembled in such a way that even a multiple electrical conductor that has already been laid, for example a round cable, can be connected to additional electrical conductors at any desired point. Under these circumstances, electrical contact with the individual electrical conductors of the multiple conductor that has been laid is made by means of insulation-cutting terminals disposed in the said casing in which an eccentric, which is likewise disposed therein in a rotatable manner, successively forces the electrical conductors, without great expenditure of force, into the insulation-cutting terminals disposed in the form of a circle around the eccentric, and brings them into electrical contact with the severing of the insulation.
