  • Printed circuit board mounted electrical connector
    Patent number: 5658154
    Abstract: An electrical connector is mountable to a substrate such as a printed circuit board. The connector includes a molded dielectric housing having terminals mounted through an elongated body portion of the housing. The terminals have tails projecting rearwardly of the body portion. A plurality of discrete mating portions are spaced along the body portion and project forwardly of a front face thereof. A recessed area is formed in the front face of the body portion between adjacent forwardly projecting mating portions. A rib projects rearwardly of the body portion between the tails of the terminals for adjacent mating portions. The recessed areas form flow interrupters for molten material of which the housing is molded.

  • Molded cellular antenna coil
    Patent number: 5648788
    Abstract: An antenna for a wireless communicating device can be set at a precise frequency, in the as formed state. A coil antenna is precisely held in a mold, while an appropriate plastic is molded therearound, with no distortion of the coil, to fix a precise shape for the coil. The recovered, plastic-encased coil requires little or no follow-up treatment before it can be used in a wireless communication device as an antenna.
