Abstract: A telephone line overvoltage protection device includes a first terminal guard housing defining a plurality of terminal receiving channels and has a mating portion. A second housing contains a printed wiring board and includes a cooperating portion receiving the first mating portion of the first terminal guard housing in mating engagement. A plurality of terminals slidingly received in the terminal receiving channels include a grounding connecting member. Each of the terminals includes an outwardly extending terminal portion extending outside the first terminal guard housing. The outwardly extending terminal portion of each of the terminals includes a first bend defining a line of the terminal portions. The printed wiring board contains a plurality of aligned terminal receiving apertures receiving all of the outwardly extending terminal portions.

Abstract: A telephone line overvoltage protection device and a method of forming an overvoltage protection device are provided. A first terminal guard housing defines a plurality of terminal receiving channels. A second housing contains a printed wiring board and the first terminal guard housing is arranged for mating engagement with the second housing. A plurality of terminals are inserted in the terminal receiving channels. Each of the terminals includes an outwardly extending terminal portion extending outside the first terminal guard housing. The outwardly extending terminal portion of each of the terminals is formed to define a line of terminal portions corresponding to a plurality of terminal receiving apertures in the printed wiring board. Then the terminal portions are inserted in the terminal receiving apertures and soldered to the printed wiring board. The terminals are bent to position the printed wiring board and a mating portion of the first terminal guard housing for insertion into the second housing.

Abstract: Combined radio and tape player apparatus in which the tape cartridge is inserted through a movable door pivotally mounted in the housing of said radio for the tape playing mode of operation. A plurality of touch control switches are arranged on the door for controlling operation of the radio during the radio playing mode of operation.Movement of the door into an open position is resisted by a latching force which is sufficient to resist opening of the door during the operation of the touch control switches but is insufficient to overcome a greater force acting on the door upon insertion of the tape during the tape playing mode of operation.
