  • Lightning protected housing structure
    Patent number: 6399875
    Abstract: To prevent lightning from destroying equipment in a housing structure, a shield structure is built within the housing structure for enclosing electrical conductors that may allow surge currents to be routed into the housing structure. The shielding structure is constructed of ferrous or non-ferrous metal and preferably of the same material as that of the ground plane of the housing structure to which the electrical conductors are mounted. A terminal cover strip for enhancing efficient grounding is also disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 13, 1999
    Date of Patent: June 4, 2002
    Assignee: PTMW, Inc.

  • Terminal cover strip
    Patent number: 6265658
    Abstract: In a shield structure built within a housing for enclosing electrical conductors, a terminal cover strip for enhancing efficient grounding is mounted. The terminal cover strip is U-shaped, with one of the upbent sides having a plurality of mounting spaces for coupling with multiple conductors and the other of the upbent sides being connected to a ground plane.
