Publication number: 20240040756Abstract: A power connector includes a housing having a front wall including a socket configured to receive a power plug. The power connector includes an electrical component held by the housing being electrically connected to a power contact in the socket. The electrical component is a heat generating component. The power connector includes an EMI enclosure coupled to the housing. The EMI enclosure has walls defining a chamber. The housing, power contacts, and electrical component are received in the chamber. The walls of the EMI enclosure provide EMI shielding for the electrical component. The EMI enclosure includes a flap extending from a wall of the EMI enclosure into the chamber having a flap thermal interface thermally coupled to the electrical component to dissipate heat from the electrical component.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2022Publication date: February 1, 2024Inventor: Evan Lawrence Craig

Patent number: 10707022Abstract: A feedthrough capacitor assembly including a film-wound feedthrough capacitor and a mounting structure insulatively carrying the capacitor, the structure extendable through an opening in a conductive substrate and removably securable to the substrate. In response to opposed ends of the mounting structure applying a clamping force for non-movingly securing the capacitor to the substrate, the capacitor is not subjected to at least a portion of the clamping force.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2018Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: TE CONNECTIVITY CORPORATIONInventor: Evan Lawrence Craig

Patent number: 10283309Abstract: A panel fuse module for use with one or more fuses. The panel fuse module includes a housing with a first fuse contact and a second fuse contact. The first fuse contact is resiliently deformable and is mounted on a post of the housing. A movable fuse holder is provided which is moveable relative to the housing and relative to the first fuse contact. A cam member is provided on the movable fuse holder. As the movable fuse holder is moved from the first position toward the second position, the cam member cooperates with the first fuse contact to move the first fuse contact from a less-stressed first position to a more-stressed second position to allow the respective fuse of the one or more fuses to be inserted into the housing without engaging the first fuse contact.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2017Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: TE CONNECTIVITY CORPORATIONInventor: Evan Lawrence Craig

Patent number: 9445515Abstract: A circuit box includes a housing having an internal compartment. The housing includes first and second entrances for receiving first and second electrical wires, respectively, into the internal compartment. The housing includes first and second wire receptacles that include first and second dielectric shells, respectively, and first and second contacts, respectively, that are held by the first and second dielectric shells, respectively. The first and second contacts are electrically connected together. The first and second dielectric shells include first and second cavities that include pluggable interfaces that are configured to mechanically receive first and second wire terminals, respectively, that terminate the first and second electrical wires, respectively, such that the first and second contacts mechanically mate with the first and second wire terminals, respectively. A circuit element is held within the internal compartment of the housing.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2014Date of Patent: September 13, 2016Assignee: TYCO ELECTRONICS CORPORATIONInventor: Evan Lawrence Craig

Patent number: 9276546Abstract: An assembly and method for providing electromagnetic interference isolation. The assembly includes an enclosure which has a first panel and a second panel. Bus bars extend through the first panel and the second panel. A mounting plate is positioned between the first panel and the second panel. The mounting plate has locating members thereon. A plurality of inductive cores are positioned proximate the locating members, the inductive cores having openings through which the bus bars extend. The inductive cores are precisely positioned in the enclosure to facilitate the electromagnetic interference isolation.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2014Date of Patent: March 1, 2016Assignee: TYCO ELECTRONICS CORPORATIONInventor: Evan Lawrence Craig

Patent number: 9269474Abstract: An assembly through which at least one bus bar extends includes bus bar-mounting openings. Insulators are positioned at each of the insulator-mounting openings. Each insulator includes a mounting member having contoured edges. A bus bar holding opening extends through the mounting member. Mounting openings are provided on the mounting member. The mounting openings being dimensioned to receive mounting hardware therein. The mounting openings are offset from the geometrical centerline of the bus-bar holding opening by more than the radius of the mounting hardware. The mounting hardware of adjacent insulators may be thereby interleaved to allow for close placement of the insulators while maintaining required spacing to provide proper electrical insulation.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2013Date of Patent: February 23, 2016Assignee: TYCO ELECTRONICS CORPORATIONInventor: Evan Lawrence Craig
