  • Publication number: 20180202059
    Abstract: The present disclosure related to an inert anode which is electrically connected to the electrolytic cell, such that a conductor rod is connected to the inert anode in order to supply current from a current supply to the inert anode, where the inert anode directs current into the electrolytic bath to produce non-ferrous metal (where current exits the cell via a cathode).
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 6494724
    Abstract: An electrical connector assembly is provided for mounting on a printed circuit board. The assembly includes a housing having a front mating face, a rear face and a board mounting face. A plurality of terminals are mounted on the housing and include contact portions extending toward the front mating face and tail portions extending at an angle to the contact portions for connection to the printed circuit board. A tail aligner is mounted on the tail portions of the terminals and is free of the housing spaced rearwardly of the rear face thereof. A cover at least partially encloses the rear face of the housing and the tail portions of the terminals. The cover is secured to the housing and is latched to the tail aligning device.

  • Patent number: 5409386
    Abstract: An electrical connector is provided for surface mounting on a printed circuit board and includes a dielectric housing having a mating face and a surface mounting face. The mating face includes a mating cavity. The surface mounting face includes a terminal-receiving passageway communicating with the cavity. A terminal is mounted on the housing, the terminal being stamped and formed of sheet metal material in a T-shaped configuration defining a trunk portion and a cross portion. The trunk portion extends through the passageway and projects into the mating cavity of the housing to provide a male terminal pin therein. The cross portion is exposed at the surface mounting face of the housing for contacting a circuit trace on the printed circuit board.
