Patents by Inventor Lloyd C. Stursa

Lloyd C. Stursa has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 4655534
    Abstract: A minature right angle coaxial connector is provided that enables a coaxial cable to be connected to a standard SMB mating connector. A stamped and formed interface is housed in the connector that has outwardly oriented multiple spring leaf barbs for securing the interface to the inner surface of the connector, and inwardly oriented multiple spring leaf barbs that secure a dielectric to the interface. The unique nature of the multiple spring leaf barbs on the interface makes it possible to diecast, instead of machine, the connector housing parts, and eliminates the need for precious metal plating to ensure conductivity between parts.

  • Patent number: 4645288
    Abstract: A miniature interface is provided that allows connection of a coaxial connector, used to terminate a coaxial cable, to a printed circuit board. The interface comprises a hollow tubular conductive body portion having a dielectric disposed therein and legs depending from a flange at the lower end of the body portion. When in place, the legs extend through holes in the circuit board, but the body portion rests above the circuit board on pads located on the lower surface of the flange. The pads serve to isolate the conductive body portion from the circuit board and allow solder to flux be washed out after a wave soldering process is used to affix the interface to the printed circuit board.
