  • Patent number: 9692164
    Abstract: An electrical connector for electrically connecting multiple photovoltaic bus bars. A casing includes first and second opposing walls. An elastic strip is bent into a bent elastic strip with a first leg and a second leg. The bent elastic strip is disposed between the first and second walls of the casing with the first leg pressing against the first wall and the second leg pressing against the second wall. The bent elastic strip is configured to hold at least one of the photovoltaic bus bars between the first leg and the first wall and another of the photovoltaic bus bars between the second leg and the second wall. The bent elastic strip may be formed of resilient spring metal with a thickness and an elastic modulus. The thickness and/or the elastic modulus of the elastic strip is/are configured so that the bus bars are inserted without requiring a tool to open a space and so that the bus bars are removed from the connector without requiring a tool to break the electrical connection.

  • Publication number: 20140052392
    Abstract: A printed circuit board (PCB) and a system utilizing the same is presented for use in monitoring a solder joint between the PCB and a package. The PCB comprises at least one slotted pad and at least one health monitoring circuit (HMC). The slotted pad comprises a first pad connected to a ground of the PCB, and a separate second pad, both pads of the slotted pad being configured for being joined via a single solder joint to a single pad of the package. The first and second pads are connected to the HMC, the HMC comprising: a test oscillator configured for generating a known current flowing via the second pad, the solder joint, and the first pad; and a measuring unit for measuring a voltage between the first and second pads of the PCB, thereby enabling calculation of the solder joint's resistance.
