Patent number: 9739543Abstract: A heat sink includes a frame having a non-metallic body that includes a window. The non-metallic body includes at least one peripheral wall that defines a boundary of the window. The non-metallic body includes a non-metallic material. The heat sink also includes a heat exchanger having a base and cooling fins. The base has a structure side and an opposite environmental side. The structure side of the base is configured to thermally communicate with a structure for absorbing heat from the structure. The cooling fins extend from the environmental side of the base. The heat exchanger is held by the frame such that the cooling fins extend within the window of the frame.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2013Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Assignee: TE CONNECTIVITY CORPORATIONInventors: Chong Hun Yi, Andrew Dewitt Balthaser, Brian Klinger, Matt Richard McAlonis, Keith Miller

Patent number: 6244904Abstract: An electrical connector (16) is arranged to releasably receive a pair of conductors (22, 24) and electrically interconnecting the conductors to the terminals (30) of an acoustical speaker (14). The connector includes an insulating housing (36) and a single button (38) in sliding engagement with the housing (36). The button is slidable between a first position (42) where the conductors are held within the connector and electrically interconnected to the speaker terminals (30) and a second position (46) where the conductors (22, 24) can be inserted into the connector or removed therefrom. A pair of contact members (52, 54) are disposed in a cavity (48, 50) within the housing (36). Each contact member includes a tail (28) extending therefrom through an opening (176) in the housing and is electrically interconnected to one of the terminals via a lead (32).Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 1998Date of Patent: June 12, 2001Assignee: The Whitaker CorporationInventors: David James Fabian, Darrell Lynn Wertz, Timothy Lee Kocher, Randolph Lee Buchter, Robert Stewart Correll, Jr., Dennis Leroy Kemmick, Andrew Dewitt Balthaser

Patent number: 5980309Abstract: A connector 20 for disk-shaped batteries 102 includes a housing 22 with a battery receiving cavity 38, first and second pairs of side walls 30, 34 and first and second terminal-receiving slots 40, 54 for receiving respective terminals 66, 84 therein and located between the side walls of the first and second pairs respectively. Each side wall 30, 34 includes an inwardly directed retention flange 32, 36 respectively for securing the battery 102 in the housing 22. The base 24 includes a plurality of board standoffs 62 of sufficient length to permit portions of the connector base 24 to be flexed downwardly toward a circuit board 108 a sufficient distance to move the retention flange 36 of one of the side walls 34 outwardly thereby releasing the battery 102 from said connector 20.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 1997Date of Patent: November 9, 1999Assignee: The Whitaker CorporationInventors: Robert Houston Frantz, Andrew Dewitt Balthaser, John Thomas Larkin, Jr.

Patent number: 5943026Abstract: A boot assembly (40) for an antenna (30) includes an elongate sleeve (42) and an end cap (60), the sleeve (42) having an opening defining an annular recess (44) dimensioned to receive the end cap (60) and be secured thereto in an adhesive joint. One of either the inner surface (46) of the annular recess (44) or the outer surface (62) of the end cap (60) has axially extending ridges (48) and the other of the inner and outer surfaces (46, 62) has corresponding axially extending recesses (64) dimensioned to receive the ridges (48) therein. The inner and outer surfaces (46, 62) provide a large adhered surface area and multiple shear planes that distribute stress upon impact and minimizing propagation of cracks in the adhesive joint thereby maintaining the integrity of the sleeve (42) and end cap (60).Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 1998Date of Patent: August 24, 1999Assignee: The Whitaker CorporationInventors: Andrew Dewitt Balthaser, Stephen Daniel Gherardini, Richard Nicholas Whyne

Patent number: 5681174Abstract: A cover (10) adapted to be releasably secured to an electrical connector assembly (30) for positioning the assembly (30) to a surface of an electrical article (70) by use of a vacuum-suction nozzle (66). The connector assembly (30) includes a housing (32) having a transverse body section 33) and a plurality of electrical terminals (50) disposed therein and extending above the body section (33). The cover (10), which overlies at least a central region of the housing, has a plate (12) having planar top surface (14) and at least one projection (18) extending substantially perpendicularly from a lower surface (16) of the cover (10) intermediate the side edges thereof. The projection (18) is dimensioned to be received in a central location of the connector assembly (30) and to be releasably gripped by cooperating surfaces therein.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 1995Date of Patent: October 28, 1997Assignee: The Whitaker CorporationInventors: Robert Stewart Correll, Jr., John Thomas Larkin, Jr., Andrew Dewitt Balthaser
