  • Patent number: 4865563
    Abstract: Provided is a device for interconnecting high voltage electrical components employing a terminal assembly housing, a poke-in terminal, an elongated receptacle featuring a mounting means, anti-surface tracking elements, an axially extending cavity in communication with the terminal, and a compressible snap cap assembly which compresses about, grips and secures the wire.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4707045
    Abstract: A microminiature, multi-pin electrical connector for high voltage applications. The connector includes a plug portion including a resilient body member having a plurality of cavities therein, and a receptacle portion having a plurality of extended members. When the plug and receptacle portions are connected, the extended members extend into the cavities to mate terminal means within the cavities and extended portions. The receptacle portion includes means for supporting the extended members while permitting them to move independently relative to one another. Radial and axial compression seals, preferably formed integral with the resilient body member, are provided to seal between the peripheral surface of each cavity and the outer peripheral surface of each extended member, and the base surface of each cavity and the extended end surface of each extended member, respectively.

  • Patent number: 4653838
    Abstract: A filtered, multiple terminal, electrical connector for use with circuit boards or the like. The connector comprises a housing, a plurality of terminals positioned in the housing, and a monolithic planar capacitor filter for filtering interference. The terminals comprise resilient spring members and are configured such that when a second connector is mated with the connector, the terminals of the second connector will apply a retention force against the terminals, forcing them toward and pressing them against the monolithic planar capacitor to maintain the terminals in firm electrical contact with the monolithic planar capacitor. The connector also includes U-shaped grounding clips having first arms which extend into the housing in electrical contact with the monolithic planar capacitor, and second arms external of the housing for providing external grounding paths.
