Abstract: A device is disclosed for making an electrical connection of the contacts of a D-type connector with the conductors of a multi-conductor flat cable assembly, where the pitch of the conductors in the cable assembly is different from that in the D-type connector, and the pitch ratio is not an integer. Contacts employed in the assembly have a portion intermediate conductor contacting end portions and which enables altering the relationship between the end portions in three directions to accommodate the difference in pitch between the conductors connected to one set of contact ends, and the conductors connected to the other set of contact ends, and yet provide the same degree of depth or penetration of contact ends for all of them.

Abstract: Detecting the temperature of water moving from a solar collector to a hot water storage and detecting the temperature of the water in the hot water storage by thermistor devices, comparing the resistance differences of the thermistor devices and providing a voltage proportional to the differences and comparing the voltage with a reference voltage providing a first output difference signal. Comparing the first output signal in a differential amplifier device with a second reference voltage providing an output for opening and closing a switch circuit to a pump when the temperature differential exceeds or is less than a given amount. Also detecting by a third thermistor the temperature of the water in the solar collector and then comparing the resistance of the third thermistor relative to a standard resistance providing a control voltage to the second differential amplifier.
