Patent number: 5999412Abstract: A printed-circuit board and a method for the precise assembly of electronic components on a surface of the printed-circuit board, the electronic components being electrically and conductively attached to printed-circuit board by a reflow soldering technique. For this purpose, a printed-circuit board is used that has sections for receiving electronic components on its surface. The sections being at least partially adapted to the outside contour of respective electronic components. The sections are configured as slotted contours or grooves and shaped to secure that the electronic components mounted after the application of solder paste are held in their desired positions prior to the actual soldering process. In addition, the assembled printed-circuit board can be connected to a housing composed of dome-type extensions of an at least partly deformable material. The extensions engage in cutouts provided in the printed-circuit board and pass through the latter.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 1997Date of Patent: December 7, 1999Assignee: Krone AktiengesellschaftInventors: Ralf-Dieter Busse, Carsten Storbeck, Thomas Lade

Patent number: 5998737Abstract: A clamping device, in particular a cable clamping device for telecommunications technology and data systems technology. The clamping device is of a generic type which ensures that objects having different diameters are clamped simply and reliably and without the risk of an impermissibly high degree of pinching of the object to be clamped. The clamping device includes a clamping member, which is formed from a basic body and at least one clamping arm and into which the object to be clamped is inserted. The clamping member is pushed into a sleeve having cutouts in which at least one of the clamping arms of the clamping member engages. By rotating the sleeve with respect to the fixed basic body at least one of the clamping arms reduces the clamping inside diameter of the clamping member.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 1997Date of Patent: December 7, 1999Assignee: Krone AktiengesellschaftInventors: Jurgen Weiss, David Patrick Murray

Patent number: 5989057Abstract: A connection element having electric insulation-piercing terminal contact elements in a chamber of a receptacle part intended for the connection of electric conductors without stripping them. A sliding part is provided enclosing a part of the insulation-piercing terminal contact elements arranged in the chamber. The connection element permits easy and reliable connection of electrical insulated conductors without a special connecting tool and at the same time ensures as high a current-carrying capacity of the conductor as possible. A locating opening for the conductors is made in a sliding part 1 in an inclined position relative to the longitudinal axis of the sliding part, which longitudinal axis is at the same time the longitudinal axis of the chamber. The conductors are inserted into the insulation-piercing terminal connecting contacts, set at an angle to the wall of the chamber, and make electrical contact with the insulation-piercing terminal connection contacts.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 1997Date of Patent: November 23, 1999Assignee: Krone AktiengesellschaftInventors: Dieter Gerke, Frank Mossner
