  • Publication number: 20100284651
    Abstract: The invention relates to an optical pin-and-socket connector for the detachable connection of a plurality of optical cores (115) having an insert (112, 112?), in which the cores (115) are inserted on a first side, the cores (115) ending in said connector with the optical fibers (119, 120) thereof, and said connector having an expansion device (117, 118) on a second side, on which the beams exit the fibers (119, 120) in an expanded manner. A simplification of the assembly and installation is achieved in that the insert (112, 112?) comprises two separate partial elements (113, 117, 118) that can be assembled, one of which is configured as an expansion device (117, 118) and the other is configured as a retaining block (113) for receiving the ends of the optical cores (115).

  • Publication number: 20100112844
    Abstract: A connector includes a housing, which extends along a longitudinal axis lying in the plug-in direction and which is divided into an electric connector part and a locking device located next to the electric connector part for the releasable locking of the connector with a corresponding counterpart. The locking device includes a detent bracket that is held in a receiving chamber of the housing, that extends in the plug-in direction, and can be elastically deflected perpendicularly to the plug-in direction. The detent bracket is elastically deflected perpendicularly to the plug-in direction by an actuating element mounted on the housing in order to be disengaged. A compact construction is achieved because the actuating element lies adjacent to the detent bracket perpendicularly to the plug-in direction and the length of the actuating element in the plug-in direction is less than or approximately equal to the length of the detent bracket.

  • Publication number: 20090278631
    Abstract: A cavity resonator (20) having temperature compensation which comprises a pot (21) and a cover (22), which together enclose a cavity resonance volume (V). The pot (21) comprises a first material, which has a first temperature expansion coefficient (?1) and the cover (22) comprises a second material, which has a second temperature expansion coefficient (?2). The second temperature expansion coefficient (?2) is greater than the first temperature expansion coefficient (?1), and an expansion of the pot (21) and a deformation of the cover (22) results upon a temperature increase, which each independently and also together cause an enlargement of the cavity resonance volume (V). Simultaneously, the resonance frequency remains essentially constant.

  • Patent number: 7567417
    Abstract: The invention relates to an automatically quenching surge arrester arrangement with a surge arrester, which, on exceeding a given first voltage, transforms from a non-conducting into a conducting state and returns to the non-conducting state only when a much smaller second voltage is dropped below and with a switch mechanism reacting to current flow through the surge arrester, interrupting the current flow through the surge arrester and then automatically returning to the rest condition thereof. A simple, robust and compact assembly suitable for HF applications for such a surge arrester arrangement is achieved, whereby the switch mechanism reacts reversibly to the heat generated in the surge arrester by the current flow.

  • Publication number: 20090017678
    Abstract: A bent-back plug-type connector for coaxial cables includes a bent-back outer conductor having a first conductor section which extends along a plug axis and a second conductor section which adjoins the first conductor section and is arranged at an angle with respect thereto, as well as a first inner conductor, which is arranged concentrically and insulated in the first conductor section, and a second inner conductor, which is arranged concentrically and insulated in the second conductor section and is detachably connected to the first inner conductor in the corner region of the bent-back outer conductor. With such a plug-type connector, simpler fitting, a secure and permanent connection and simpler and more cost-effective production are achieved by virtue of the fact that the first inner conductor has a square cross section, and the fact that an opening is provided in the first inner conductor.

  • Patent number: 7325979
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for removably connecting two groups of individual, parallel fibers that are delimited by end faces that are perpendicular to the fiber axis. The two groups of fibers are moved towards each other in an axial direction until each of the fibers abuts against the end face of the assigned fiber from the other group. The fibers of the two groups are aligned in pairs relative to each other before being moved into contact with each other, and any differences in fiber lengths is compensated for by elastically deforming the fiber along the fiber main axis. This method eliminates the disadvantages associated with bending the fibers because length variations are essentially compensated for by axially compressing the fibers.
