  • Patent number: 6836204
    Abstract: A technique is provided for insulating a winding or coil for an electrical machine such as a motor. The coil is wound and placed in a taping station. Multiple layers of insulating tape are applied along an end region with leads bent back from the end region. The taping station permits the leads to be then placed over the insulated end region, and the main body region of the coil is similarly taped in a continuous uninterrupted manner. The tape wrap pitch may be varied along certain regions, where increased dielectric strength is desired. Following the insulating tape application, an armor tape may be applied over both the end region and the main region of the coil in a continuous uninterrupted manner. The coil can then be finished and assembled in a machine such as an electric motor stator.

  • Patent number: 5925852
    Abstract: A structure for making a sealed electrical connection through a barrier is disclosed. The structure comprises a feed-through board that is sealed in an aperture in the barrier. A conductive rod is disposed within a bore formed in the board. Inner and outer conductors are electrically connected to the conductive rod by means of connecting structures formed in the respective ends thereof. A plurality of layers of insulative materials are formed about the inner and outer conductors and the conductive rod so as to electrically insulate the conductors and the conductive rod, to form a structurally sound point of connection through the barrier, and to seal the bore through which the conductive rod is passed. A method for making a sealed electrical connection through a barrier is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 4068912
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for terminating multi-conductor flat flexible cable is disclosed. The connector assembly includes a clamp member which initially engages a multi-conductor flat cable and drives the conductors thereof to the desired spacing, which conforms to the fixed spacing of the terminals in a connector housing member. The clamped cable is then engaged with the terminal carrying housing member of the connector assembly to effect an insulation displacing engagement of the terminal with their respective conductors.

  • Patent number: 4067633
    Abstract: A cam actuated connector assembly is disclosed for effecting a low insertion force mating of the connector assembly with a plurality of fixed pin or post terminals. The housing includes a first housing member adopted to hold therein a plurality of spring contact terminals and a second housing member receiving the first housing member therein with cam means therebetween for effecting relative movement of the housing members. In the normal relaxed condition of the connector assembly, the contacts are in a closed configuration. Upon actuation of the connector assembly for mating, the housing members are moved relative to one another by the cam means causing the contact terminals to be moved to an open position to receive the mating pin or post terminals. The subsequent release of the second housing member effects a closing of the terminals to an engaged condition.

  • Patent number: 4053199
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a connector portion for a filter array mounted in a panel or bulkhead. The filter and pin assemblies are soldered to the panel with their pins extending above the panel in a predetermined array for connection to an external connector. A connector housing is mounted on the panel and surrounds the filter pins, the external mating connector making a friction and/or lock securing connection to the connector housing and connection to the filter pins without application of stresses caused by an unsupported and/or unguided connection.

  • Patent number: 3987380
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to EMI filters and the like wherein the possibility of dendrite formation between electrodes is substantially eliminated. This is accomplished by encasing any material forming a part of the filter or the like which is capable of supporting dendrite growth within a material that does not support the growth of dendrites so that any ionized moisture medium cannot come into intimate contact with the material capable of supporting dendrite growth and so that there is no direct path from one dendrite growth supporting electrode across the medium to the other dendrite growth supporting electrode. The encasing material is preferably gold, aluminum or platinum.
