Abstract: An electrical connector includes a dielectric housing having a cavity configured to receive a mating connector therein and a contact subassembly having an array of contacts. Each of the contacts define a mating interface configured to engage the mating connector, and each of the contacts have a beam portion extending downstream of the mating interface to a contact terminating end. Contact plates are arranged within the cavity, such that each of the contact plates engage a corresponding one of the contacts at the beam portion of the contacts.

Abstract: An outlet (1) or communications cable (17), includes, an enclosure (2) defined by a base (3) and a cover (4), a cable receiving opening (8) in the base (3), multiple interchangeable plates (5) adapted for removable mounting along sides (23) of the enclosure (2), and each of the plates (5) being removable for replacement by one of the plates (5) having a connector receiving opening (6) adapted to receive a data connector (20) connected to a cable (17) received by the cable receiving opening (8).

Abstract: An access floor module for use with wiring extending beneath the floor of a structure can be used with both high tension and low tension conductors. High tension and low tension outlets can be mounted on the front of a rotatable frame member. Cables are attached to the back and the frame can be inserted into the floor into the plenum beneath the access floor on the same level as the cables and the frame pivotably mounted with respect to the floor. The frame also provides structural support for the module cover.

Abstract: A data distribution panel includes a conductive panel having openings for the receipt of electrical data connector from the rear thereof. Shielded data connectors are installed from the rear of the panel and are electrically commoned to the panel. The electrical connectors are in the form of shielded subassemblies which, when interconnected to the panel, are commoned by a finger which extends from the panel thereby contacting the subassemblies. The panel is for use with a patch cable having at each end, connectors which can be latchably interconnected to the panel to interconnect shielded subassemblies together. An interface member is also available which can interconnect electrical connectors thereto which have T-bars and T-slots.

Abstract: A one-piece wire stuffing cover having a series of tubular terminal receiving sockets with wire gripping slots at front and rear faces and respective wire stuffers between the slots, lead-out openings for wires terminated by the cover being provided in the sockets rearward of the wire stuffers. The lead-out openings are provided by rebated portions in the sockets which define wire engaging shoulders extending across a rear axial end of the terminal for strain relief. The slots in the rear face diverge progressively to release the wire at the rear face during termination.

Abstract: An electrical connector (11) in which an insulating housing body (12) is provided with a series of longitudinally extending compartments (15) adapted to receive terminals (14) in different longitudinal positions at a wire connecting face (17) to provide various alternative connection points to a series of wires (49). The terminals (14) comprise wire connecting portions (41) integrally joined by intermediate portions (43) of different lengths to contact portions (42). The connector (11) can be in kit form comprising the insulating housing, a group of such terminals (14) and a cover (13) for the wire connecting face (17) enabling different connection prints to be programmed.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly provides electrical outlets for undercarpet power cable and for communication cable, and a divider plate of the assembly divides the assembly into separate compartments that separate electrical connections of outlets to the power cable from electrical connections of outlets to the communication cable.

Abstract: The terminal board and mounting frame are disclosed. Electrical terminals are arranged in rows and columns on the terminal board and are adapted for splicing or cross connecting high density communication wiring for communications, data processing, telemetry, signal control and broadcasting applications.

Abstract: The apparatus is constructed to produce a hollow filter rod. The apparatus includes a mandrel through which a supplied length of tubing is passed, a nozzle surrounding the mandrel for shaping a stream of fibrous filter material about the mandrel and a forming means for enveloping a web of paper about the fibrous filter material and the tubing to produce the filter rod. The mandrel can be adjusted relative to the forming means to ensure an accurate centering of the tubing within the filter rod.The hollow filter includes a rigid non-deformable tube defining a smoke passage having a draw resistance to control the amount of unfiltered smoke, a concentric layer of filter material and a perforated outer wrap for passage of air into the layer of filter material.

Abstract: As a puff generator draws a volume of smoke and air through the vented-filter cigarette air is drawn from a ventilation cylinder to cause a piston to travel to a dead center position. The amount of movement of this piston is a measure of an amount of air drawn through the ventilation path of the filter by the puff generator. The amount of travel can be related to the total possible stroke of the piston so as to produce a digital read out of the degree of ventilation directly.
