  • Publication number: 20020039846
    Abstract: An aircraft ground power connector comprising: (a) a plurality of electrical contact pins embedded in an insulating housing having first and second layers of insulating material, wherein each pin has a male end and female end and is arranged in the housing so that the male ends are protruding from a male side of the connector, and the female ends of the pins (i) are recessed in a female side of the connector, (ii) have a shape, length, and diameter adapted to permit them to receive a male pin, (iii) have slots in the sides thereof; and the housing is a multi-layer assembly having at least two layers of insulating material arranged perpendicular to the direction of the pins; including (i) a first layer of insulating material positioned on the female side of the connector, wherein the first layer and the portion of the female end of the pins embedded therein are shaped to prevent the pin from being pushed out of the female side of the connector; and (ii) a second layer of insulating material positioned so that

  • Patent number: 4948374
    Abstract: A connector assembly which enables conductive paths of a first body to be electrically connected to the conductive paths of a second body. The assembly comprising:at least two spigot members; anda connecting member having a cover member into which a resilient member and a displaceable member are assembled.Each of the members of the connecting member are provided with corresponding orifices that form a passageway which is shaped so that it can engage with a groove formed on a respective spigot member. In operation, the spigot members are inserted into a respective passageway and the connecting member moved relative thereto so that the groove and passageway co-operate with one another to clamp the first and second bodies together, and thereby effect electrical connection between the respective conductive paths.
