Abstract: A method for assembling and installing a power connector on a cable includes providing female and male connectors having a tapered insulator and a contact defining a set screw contact having at least one first radial aperture. A first set screw engages the at least one first radial aperture and a second set screw engages the at least one second radial aperture. Each of the first and second set screws define an outer surface and a bore extending at least partway therethrough. A first retaining screw engages the bore of the first set screw and corresponding aperture in the female connector. A second retaining screw engages the bore of the second set screw and corresponding aperture in the male connector.
Abstract: An electrical asset for distributing power for use with a Radio Frequency Identification (“RFID”) tracking system and middleware. The electrical asset includes at least one attachable identifier defining an external surface and at least one radially extending portion or axially extending portion. An RFID transponder is molded into the attachable identifier and embedded within the radially or axially extending portion, and below the exterior surface of, the attachable identifier. The transponder is configured to transmit a first signal to a transmitting and receiving device and receive a second signal from the transmitting and receiving device.
Abstract: An electrical asset for distributing power for use with a Radio Frequency Identification (“RFID”) tracking system and middleware. The electrical asset includes at least one electrical component defining an external surface and at least one radially extending portion or axially extending portion. An RFID transponder is overmolded with the at least one electrical component and embedded within the at least one radially extending portion or axially extending portion and below the exterior surface of the at least one electrical component. The transponder is configured to transmit a first signal to a transmitting and receiving device and receive a second signal from the transmitting and receiving device.
Abstract: An electrical connector includes a female and male connector each having a tapered insulator and a contact with a first set screw a radial aperture. A set screw is received within the radial apertures, the set screws having an outer surface and a bore extending at least partway therethrough. A retaining screw is received within the bores of the set screws and corresponding aperture in the female and male connector. An RFID transponder is disposed within the connector. The transponder is configured to transmit a first signal to a transmitting and receiving device and receive a second signal from the transmitting and receiving device.
Abstract: A lighting streamer for a low voltage LED lighting system includes a cable having a positive conductor and a negative conductor, a first connector, a second connector, and at least one socket assembly positioned between the first connector and the second connector and in electrical communication with the cable. Each of the socket assemblies are configured to receive an LED bulb therein. The socket assembly defines a top portion and a bottom portion which when assembled, pierce the positive conductor and the negative conductor. A protective coating encapsulates the at least one socket assembly. At least one LED light bulb positioned in and in electrical communication with the at least one socket.
Abstract: A waterproof electrical connector for airfield lighting applications has a connector body with a first end and an opposing second end. The first end terminates at a first end cap that has a strain/bend relief feature and a first bore for receiving a cable that extends into the first end. At least one O-Ring extends from the walls of the first bore. The opposing second end terminates at a second end cap and has a second bore extending through the second end cap and into the second end. A sleeve is affixed to an exterior surface of the second end cap. An electrically insulated cable is inserted into the first bore engaging the O-Rings to form a waterproof seal. An electrical contact engages the second end cap and the sleeve folds over the second end cap to engage a surface of this contact forming a waterproof seal.
