  • Patent number: 7204699
    Abstract: A preferred embodiment of an electrical connector includes a housing, a wafer positioned adjacent the housing and being movable in relation to the housing, a first contact extending through the housing, a first fusible element mounted on an end of the first contact for securing the first contact to the housing and to a first location on a substrate, a second contact extending through the housing and the wafer and being movable in relation to the housing, and a second fusible element mounted on an end of the second contact for securing the second contact to a second location on the substrate so that the second contact can deflect substantially independent of the housing and the first contact in response to relative movement between the housing and the second location on the substrate.

  • Patent number: 7048549
    Abstract: A dual compression electrical contact including a contact body having a first contact wall and a second contact wall, a first elastically bendable beam extending from the first contact wall, and a second elastically bendable beam extending form the second contact wall and from a position that is diagonally opposite to that from which the first elastically bendable beam extends.

  • Patent number: 6167183
    Abstract: A low profile communications outlet box is disclosed which can accommodate fiber optic cables in a compact housing without bending the fiber optic cables past their minimum bend radius. The outlet box has a base and a cover for forming a wiring space therebetween. A pair of winding rings or members are located between the base and cover to prevent the fiber optic cables from being bent beyond their minimum bend radius. The winding rings or members overlap each other to decrease the size of the outlet box. Moreover, the winding rings or members are offset from each other such that the upper winding member lies in a different plane from the lower winding member.
