  • Patent number: 10547717
    Abstract: An enclosure and a method for forming an enclosure are disclosed. The enclosure may be formed from metal, such as aluminum, and further include a non-metal portion allowing for transmission and receipt of electromagnetic waves. The non-metal portion may be interlocked to the enclosure and in particular, to a region within the enclosure including a first material having a relatively high strength and stiffness compared to the non-metal portion. Interlocking means may include forming dovetail cuts into the enclosure to receive the non-metal portion, a hole or cavity drilled into the enclosure which includes internal threads, and a rod inserted into the first material to provide a tension to the non-metal portion. Methods of assembling internal components using anodization are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10490955
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes a housing having contact channels with electrical contacts received therein each having a poke-in spring beam configured to engage an electrical wire when poked-in to the housing. The electrical contact is movable between a resting position when no wire is present in the wire channel and a clearance position where the electrical contact allows the electrical wire to be removed from the wire channel. Pivot levers are held by the housing and are coupled to corresponding electrical contacts with a pivot end pivotably coupled to the housing and a push button end having a push button pressed to move the corresponding electrical contact to the clearance position. When the electrical wire is loaded into the wire channel, the electrical contact is positioned in a pinching position in which the spring beam pinches against the electrical wire in physical contact with the electrical wire.

  • Patent number: 10433448
    Abstract: Power electronics device, such as a frequency converter, comprising power units (REC1, INU1, INU2, CDC1), a metal frame (31) and a DC bus arrangement in which the power units are connected. The power units may be assembled inside the metal frame (31) wherein the shape of the metal frame is elongated with rectangular cross-sectional shape, consisting of a bottom part (33) and from that essentially vertical oriented side wall parts (32). The DC bus arrangement is arranged on top of the bottom part (33) of the metal frame (31) and separated by an insulator layer (S1) from the metal frame (31). The DC bus arrangement comprises a first DC bus current conductor (DC+) and a second DC bus current conductor (DC?) which are arranged apart from each other. The DC bus current conductors (DC+, DC?) have a flat shape in such a way that their thickness dimension is essentially shorter than their width dimension.

    Abstract: An adjustable impedance high speed data connector, and methods for assembling and operating thereof. The adjustable impedance high speed data connector of this invention includes a printed circuit board accommodated within, or printed or stamped onto, a tray, the printed circuit board including sets of terminals respectively extending on opposite ends of the printed circuit board. Mounted onto the printed circuit board and electrically connected thereto is at least one electric module having a fixed or adjustable capacitance or a fixed or adjustable inductance, which may be combined in any desired combination to achieve a desired impedance for the connector. By adjusting the variable capacitance or inductance of the electric module (or the variable combinations of capacitance and/or inductance of a plurality of electric modules), the impedance within the connector is adjustable for allowing the connector to operate at various ranges of bandwidths.
