  • Combined fuse holder and current monitor
    Patent number: 6774759
    Abstract: A combined fuse holder and shunt has a shunt integrated into a one-piece assembly between a fuse holder and a circuit connector. The housing for the connectors is made in two halves that are heat staked together after the connectors are inserted therein. Slots and ribs in the housing retain the connectors therein without requiring supplemental fasteners.

  • Power distribution backplane
    Patent number: 6759598
    Abstract: A power distribution backplane includes a pair of metal panels bonded to opposite sides of a dielectric spacer. One panel is for power and the other for ground, and each is painted a different color. Connectors are provided on each panel in connector areas, with some connectors being accessible from both sides of each panel, and busbars extend out from one end of each panel.
