  • Selectable line voltage inverters and associated methods
    Patent number: 7852650
    Abstract: An inverter capable of supplying power to utility grids of varying line voltages is described. In some examples, the inverter contains multiple output taps that are selected to output power to the utility grid based on the voltage of the utility grid. In some examples, the inverter includes a multi-pin connector that connects with one of multiple receptacles associated with a desired voltage configuration. In some examples, the inverter is capable of adapting to a defined line voltage in two steps.
    Type: Grant

  • Printed circuit board connection
    Publication number: 20080146092
    Abstract: A technique is disclosed which uses captive fasteners to create secure electrical connections between a printed circuit board (PCB) and an external conductor. The captive fastener provides both a mechanical attachment for an electrical lead and an electrical connection to a circuit on the PCB. The captive fastener may be a captive nut, a captive stud, a standoff, a clip, or another suitable type of captive fastener. The captive fastener may be made of electrically conductive material and it may be in electrical contact with a circuit on the PCB.
