Patent number: 8777660Abstract: An electric connector comprises a connector body and a plurality of contact elements mounted within the connector body and adapted to be coupled with mating contact elements at the front end of the connector body. The contact elements are connected to respective wires of an electric cable provided with a sheath. The electric cable is clamped within the connector body by means of a cable clamping tubular portion, having clamping longitudinal tabs. A wedge-like locking bush having a conical inner surface is mounted above the longitudinal tabs of the clamping tubular portion. A locking ring-nut is tightened on a threaded portion of the rear end of the connector body so as to clamp the cable.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2012Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: Tyco Electronics AMP Italia SRLInventors: Davide Chiarelli, Giovanni Turco

Patent number: 8708735Abstract: A shunt connector assembly for electrical systems comprises a body including a first, a second and a third coupling portion (6, 7, 8) for coupling to respective connectors. The contacts of the first and second coupling portions (6, 7) are defined by the opposite ends of a first group of metal pins of circular section (R1) received inside the body (2) of the connector assembly. The contacts of the third coupling portion (8) are defined by first ends of a second group of metal pins of circular section (R2) arranged parallel to and spaced from the pins of the first group. Each pin of the first group (R1) is electrically connected to a respective pin of the second group (R2) by a metal bridging element in the form of a planar lamina extending substantially in the plane containing the axes of the pins connected by said bridging element and integrally incorporating at each end a bent back-portion defining a resiliently deformable open bushing that surrounds and clasps a respective metal pin (R1, R2).Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2011Date of Patent: April 29, 2014Assignee: Tyco Electronics AMP Italia SRLInventors: Ugo Aime, Giovanni Turco, Marco Zucca

Patent number: 8500464Abstract: An electric SMD connector comprises a body of plastic material (2) having a base lower surface (2a) which is substantially planar, to which there is associated a metal plate (4) for soldered connection to a printed circuit board (B). A plurality of metal contacts (3) carried by the body of the connector have front end portions (3a) for coupling with the contacts of a female connector and projecting from a front surface (2c) of the body of the connector, parallel to, and spaced apart from, the lower surface 2a. The contacts further comprise rear end portions (3b) which project from a rear surface (2e) of the body of the connector, in a plane substantially coincident with the plane of said lower surface (2a).Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2009Date of Patent: August 6, 2013Assignee: Tyco Electronics AMP Italia SpAInventors: Giovanni Turco, Davide Chiarelli
