Abstract: In an embodiment, a multi-switch contactor assembly includes an array of at least three switches, the array including a first switch comprising a first moveable contact and at least one first fixed contact, the first switch configured to change a switch state between an open state and a closed state; a second switch comprising a second moveable contact and at least one fixed second contact, the second switch configured to change a switch state between an open state and a closed state; and a third switch comprising a third moveable contact and at least one third fixed contact, the third switch configured to change a switch state between an open state and a closed state. The multi-switch contactor assembly further includes an actuator assembly configured to actuate the first moveable contact, the second moveable contact, and the third moveable contact, the actuator assembly including a shaft, wherein the respective switch states of the three switches is change in dependence upon rotation of the shaft.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a multi-switch contactor assembly with a pre-charge system is disclosed. The multi-switch contactor further includes an array of switches and an actuator assembly configured to actuate each switch of the array of switches. In this embodiment, the array of switches includes a first switch configured to connect a first battery device to a circuit and a second switch configured to connect a second battery device to the circuit. The array of switches also includes a third switch configured to connect the first battery device and the second battery device in series to the circuit and a fourth switch configured to connect a pre-charge resistor to at least one of the first battery device and the second battery device.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a multi-switch contactor assembly includes an array of two or more switches, each switch comprising a moveable contact and a fixed contact; wherein the moveable contact is configured to contact a first end of the fixed contact in a closed switch state; and wherein the moveable contact and the fixed contact are oriented such that current passing between the moveable contact and the fixed contact induces an electromagnetic field that acts on the moveable contact in the direction of the first end of the fixed contact; and an actuator assembly configured to actuate each movable contact simultaneously, the actuator assembly including a shaft, wherein the respective switch states of the two or more switches are changed in dependence upon rotation of the shaft.

Abstract: A connector for use with a sensor, such as a pressure sensor, has EMI absorbing capabilities. The connector includes a polymeric body configured for coupling to a sensor body and an EMI absorbing material. The EMI absorbing material may be entrained in the polymeric body, coated on the polymeric body, or otherwise integrated with the polymeric body. The EMI absorbing material may be carbon black or carbon nanotubes.

Abstract: Disclosed is a pressure-measuring plug for a combustion engine. An interconnection structure in the plug body electrically couples by means of a flexible printed circuit board (PCB) an electrical sensing element at one end of the plug body to connector terminals of the plug at the other end of the plug body. An elongated support structure fixates a part of the flexible PCB in the plug body to enable the flexible PCB to withstand automotive conditions and to facilitate during assembly to put the flexible PCB through the hollow plug body.

Abstract: A recognition switch assembly (10) has a movable contact assembly (24) mounted on an actuator (22) mounted for sliding movement along a longitudinal direction (12a) in a housing (20) with a stationary contact board (26) mounted on the housing over the movable contact assembly (24). The actuator is formed with a laterally deflectable beam (22q) on one side of the actuator having a protrusion (22s) which cooperates with space protrusions (22p) on the opposed side for sliding engagement with opposed sidewalls (20f, 20g) of the housing. A pair of vertically deflectable beams (22k) having a protrusion (22n) slidingly engage platform surfaces (20b, 20c). When mounted in the housing, the beams are deformed to eliminate clearances between the actuator (22) and the housing (20) in both the vertical and lateral directions resulting in an improved, vibration independent, electrical output signal of the switch assembly.
