Abstract: An electrical connector assembly is provided and includes a plurality of cables, each of which have a conductor, and an electrical connector having a connector housing which houses a plurality of pins/sockets, each of which are connected to a pin/socket termination, wherein each pin/socket termination is connected to a conductor of the cables. The connector further includes a thermoplastic pre-mold covering which securely covers a portion of the connector housing, the pin/socket terminations and a portion of the plurality of cables, wherein the pre-mold covering is securely attached to the portion of the connector housing, the pin/socket terminations and the portion of the plurality of cables via a pre-mold process which incorporates a mold having a control finger configured to position the cables away from the wall of the mold cavity and flow channels for injecting plastic on both sides of the control finger during the molding process.

Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods of illuminating indicator lights. For example, one embodiment includes an apparatus for indicating status of an electrical device. The apparatus includes a housing configured to be attached to an electrical device, an electrical input disposed on the housing and configured to receive an electrical signal, a lighting element disposed in the housing and configured to output light in response to the electrical signal, and a first optical element disposed in the housing. The apparatus further includes a second optical element configured to be attached to a panel. The first optical element and the second optical element are positioned so that the first optical element is configured to transmit at least a portion of the output light to the second optical element and the second optical element is configured to output light received from the first optical element.

Abstract: A company switch-type of electrical switchgear is disclosed having improved safety characteristics and having a reduced profile. The electrical connections are typically all enclosed in one area facing one direction such that access to the connections can be controlled and interlocked with one or more main breakers. By enclosing the connections in one area and directing the leads out of the enclosure in one direction, the size of the enclosure can be reduced while the safety of its use is increased.
