Publication number: 20040157476Abstract: An electrical connector is disclosed. The electrical connector includes a base having an array portion and a perimeter portion connected to the array portion. The electrical connector also includes an electrical conductor imbedded into the base. The perimeter portion is formed with a first recess and includes a first sealing member connected to the first recess such that when a first component is connected to the electrical connector the first sealing member forms a seal between the electrical connector and the first component.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 12, 2003Publication date: August 12, 2004Inventors: Ralph Maldonado, Thomas Mowry, Peter Kurbikoff

Patent number: 6733303Abstract: The present invention is directed to an improved electrical connector for electrically connecting a first component to a second component. The connector includes a plurality of electrical conductors partially embedded in a dielectric frame. The frame is formed with a first side and a second side opposed to the first side. Each conductor includes a first finger, a second finger and a midsection connecting the first finger to the second finger. The midsection of each conductor is molded in place within the frame. The first finger of each conductor extends away from the first side of the frame while the second finger of each conductor extends away from the second side of the frame. The midsections of adjacent conductors can be spaced apart within the frame at distances of less than 1.5 mm.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2003Date of Patent: May 11, 2004Assignee: Teledyne Technologies IncorporatedInventors: Ralph Maldonado, Peter A.

Patent number: 6019644Abstract: A step connector assembly for establishing electrical connections between electrical components located at different levels, and a method for manufacturing the step connector assembly. The connector assembly is stepped such that the ends of the connector assembly are at different levels. The components of the assembly include a plurality of electrical connectors, and a plastic body that anchors the connectors and gives structure to the assembly. Each connector is formed with sequentially a base, a knee, and a footing. Due to a bend in the knees of the connectors, the footings are stepped to a different level than the bases of the connectors. The plastic body is formed with a shoulder. To join the connectors with the plastic body, a portion of the plastic body is formed around the base sections of the connectors. After the body is formed around the connectors, the connectors are pulled into the body until abutments on the connectors are embedded into the body, thereby anchoring the connectors into the body.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 1997Date of Patent: February 1, 2000Assignee: Teledyne Industries, Inc.Inventors: Peter A. Kurbikoff, Douglas J. Korn

Patent number: 5484295Abstract: A low profile compression electrical connector, for establishing an electrical pathway between two electrical components, includes an insert and a housing. A plurality of connector arms are mounted on a base of the insert, and each connector arm has a first end and a second end. The ends are sufficiently deflectable to allow the connector to fit into a very small space. The housing of the electrical connector is formed with an aperture for receiving and stationarily orienting the base of the insert with respect to the housing. Also, clamps mounted on the housing can be used to hold first and second electrical components, such as printed circuit boards, against the housing and in contact with the ends of the connector arms. Upon engagement of the electrical components with the housing, the ends of the connector arms urge against the electrical components to establish an electrical pathway through the connector arm from the first electrical component to the second electrical component.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 1994Date of Patent: January 16, 1996Assignee: Teledyne Electronic TechnologiesInventors: Thomas E. Mowry, Peter A. Kurbikoff

Patent number: 5259767Abstract: A connector for electrically connecting a plated or soldered through hole of a printed circuit board to another electrical device includes a plurality of conductors each having a deflection arm for maintaining a contact force on the circuit board and a dimple formed as a continuous surface from the deflection arm. Each dimple is sized and shaped to enter a through hole and to electrically contact the plating or solder material formed in the hole. Contact can be at a point within the hole or along the circumference of the hole. In addition, each dimple is sized and shaped to enter a range of through hole sizes. In a preferred embodiment each dimple is formed in a generally pyramidal shape with creased edges and a smooth apex. The dimple may also be formed in a generally conical shape.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 1992Date of Patent: November 9, 1993Assignee: Teledyne KineticsInventors: Peter A. Kurbikoff, Apichart N. Chitamitara

Patent number: 4521062Abstract: A shell-less connector member having an optional grounding shell bracket mounted on the forward mating portion of the connector member. The connector member may be intermated with a standard metal shell connector member or, when the grounding bracket is removed, with the mating shell-less connector member.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 1983Date of Patent: June 4, 1985Assignee: International Telephone and Telegraph CorporationInventors: Peter A. Kurbikoff, Gary C. Bethurum

Patent number: 4240686Abstract: A receptacle for receiving three plugs with ground prongs is disclosed. The blade receiving openings in the cover plate are arranged in two parallel lines with the ground prong receiving openings disposed along the center line of the cover plate. A non-conductive body member includes cavities for receiving ground prong contacts. These contacts extend from a grounding strap which is secured between the upper surface of the body member and the cover plate. The blades of plugs pass through the grounding strap into engagement with underlying contact assemblies which are secured within the body member.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 1979Date of Patent: December 23, 1980Assignee: General Signal CorporationInventor: Peter A.
