Abstract: A plate forming the lid of a housing for use in coaxial cable distribution systems has a first distribution port on one side and a second distribution port. A dial is mounted on the exterior of the plate which will indicate RF current flow and tap values.

Abstract: A housing for a CATV circuit board has exterior cable pores and stations for connection to a circuit board. Flexible coaxial leads allow any port to be connected to selected one of a number of stations. The stations may be composed of a horizontal flexible lead and a vertical terminal for the circuit board. The position of the station may vary within a preset tolerance to facilitate connection to the circuit board. End sections may be provided at the ports and provided with means for separating or combining the RF and AC signals. A tray for seating in the housing and for receiving the circuit board may be shaped to ground the outer conductor from a station and forms also the ground for the circuit board.

Abstract: An electrical component housing has a wall with an outwardly facing wall shaped to define rows of cooling fins with row channels between. Gaps are provided in the fin rows to define angle channels at 30.degree. to 60.degree. to the row channels.
