Patent number: 7859380Abstract: A bobbin assembly is disclosed that includes a first bobbin and a second bobbin. The second bobbin is configured substantially similar to the first bobbin. The first and second bobbins include a first flange and a second flange disposed at opposite ends of a central core. The first flanges include terminal receiving cavities and wire posts for terminate a wire wound around the central core. The bobbin assembly may be formed by mating either the first flanges or the second flanges together.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2008Date of Patent: December 28, 2010Assignee: Tyco Electronics CorporationInventors: Tim Hasenour, Dan Johnson, Kurt T. Zarbock

Patent number: 7642472Abstract: A mounting base for switch packages having a mounting flange is provided. The base includes a body having a first receptacle and a second receptacle, and each of the first and second receptacle is configured to accept a mounting flange of the switch package with snap-fit engagement. The first and the second receptacles are inverted relative to one another and allow mounting of the switch package with a fewer number of fasteners.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2005Date of Patent: January 5, 2010Assignee: Tyco Electronics CorporationInventors: Timothy Hasenour, Randy Hannah, Kurt T. Zarbock

Patent number: 7548146Abstract: A first aspect of the invention includes a power relay assembly having a motor assembly and actuator assembly disposed in a housing. The actuator assembly includes at least one bridge assembly having one or more contacts arranged to provide selective electrical connections. The actuator assembly is attached to an armature of the motor assembly. The armature is arranged and disposed to drive the actuator assembly. The motor assembly includes an electromagnetic coil assembly disposed around at least a portion of the armature. A magnetic pole piece is configured adjacent to an end of the coil assembly. The pole piece includes an armature seat configured to attract and receive the armature when the coil assembly is magnetized. The armature seat has a taper configured to provide a substantially constant attractive force along the stroke length.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2006Date of Patent: June 16, 2009Assignee: Tyco Electronics CorporationInventors: David Parker, Kurt T. Zarbock

Patent number: 6872098Abstract: The invention discloses a modular jack assembly comprised of an outer housing and a plurality of modular jack subassemblies. The modular jack subassemblies are comprised of an elongate beam support having a plurality of modular jack contacts on both sides thereof. The contacts extend into printed circuit board contacts and extend to and beyond the side edges of the elongate beam platform, leaving the space above and below the printed circuit board contacts and the beam support free, to accommodate signal conditioning componentry. Two printed circuit board modules are mounted orthogonally to the side edges of the beam support and include signal conditioning components. The assemblies are insertable into the housing defining modular jacks in the outer housing.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2002Date of Patent: March 29, 2005Assignee: Tyco Electronics CorporationInventors: Thomas Wojtacki, Kevin J. Peterson, Kurt T. Zarbock, Joseph E. Geniac, William J. Remaley, Michael G. Pacyga, Aurelio J. Gutierrez

Patent number: 6669514Abstract: A plug and receptacle assembly comprises a plug connector and receptacle connector, for high-density interconnections of data cable. The two connectors are fully shielded and include a mating profile including a modified D-shaped configuration. The receptacle assembly includes a plurality of overmolded webs of lead frames. The webs are overmolded laterally asymmetric to provide a thin web on one side, and a thick web on the other, where air pockets project through the thick webs and expose portions of contacts. The overmolded webs are stacked one against the other such that thin webs are positioned intermediate contacts in the same pair, whereas the thick webs, and air pockets are positioned one against the other in adjacent contacts of adjacent pairs.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2002Date of Patent: December 30, 2003Assignee: Tyco Electronics CorporationInventors: David M. Wiebking, Kurt T. Zarbock, Michael W. Fogg

Patent number: 6582244Abstract: A plug and receptacle assembly comprises a plug connector and receptacle connector, for high-density interconnections of data cable. The two connectors are fully shielded and include a mating profile including a modified D-shaped configuration where one end of the shroud includes a concave radiused portion and two jackscrews or threaded inserts are located within the area formed by the concave radiused portion. In this manner, the entire width of the connector assembly is reduced for high-density interconnections.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2002Date of Patent: June 24, 2003Assignee: Tyco Electronics CorporationInventors: Michael W Fogg, David M Wiebking, Randy G Simmons, Kurt T Zarbock, Kevin J Peterson
