  • Patent number: 5437556
    Abstract: An intermediate connector is for mounting on a printed circuit card so that a first face of the connector bears against the card, and so that a second face thereof receives a substrate of an electronic circuit. It interconnects contact areas provided on the substrate and tracks on the card. The connector has an insulating support having regularly spaced apart through-passages that receive respective electrical signal contacts, each of which connects one contact area to a track. Each contact is a cut out piece of metal sheet and has a rigid branch for fastening it to the support, and a flexible branch that is S-shaped. Each passage is defined by partitions and slidably receives a corresponding rigid branch and it has abutment shoulders that are spaced apart by an interval eo, The abutment closest to the first face is at a predetermined height ho relative thereto.

  • Patent number: 5094625
    Abstract: A system for connecting a flat shielded cable of the type comprising a stacking of three conductors, namely, one high voltage conductor and two low voltage equipotential conductors. The system comprises linking electric conductors partially uninsulated at their extremities, which are in intimate contact with corresponding tracks of the flat cable (10), elastic pads (40-43) making it possible to transmit sufficient pressure to the electric contact pickup linkages, and a casing (50, 51) formed of two half-shells closed on the unit constituted by the linkages and the elastic pads, and a device (60, 70) for retaining the two half-shells in either spaced apart or closed position. The system is used for the connection of high voltage cables.

  • Patent number: 5092784
    Abstract: A connector component for connecting a coaxial cable comprising a central core and an outer braid to respective first and second contact pins, wherein the connector component is constituted by a core ferrule and a ground ferrule each made of a conductive material having shape memory and shaped so as to fit closely, when in a first shape memory state, respectively on the central core and on the outer braid, and so as to be able to engage and/or disengage the core and ground ferrules when in a second shape memory state, the core and ground ferrules being respectively connected to first and second sockets for providing electrical connection and mechanical cohesion respectively with the first contact pin and the second contact pin. The invention is applicable to electrical connections.
