Abstract: A modular socket insert assembly is described, which can fit into the male ends of two substantially identical connectors to connect them, wherein the socket insert assembly can be easily taken apart in the field for cleaning or replacement of a damaged socket. The socket insert assembly includes a pair of insulators having inner ends that substantially abut one another and having aligned holes for holding a group of separate socket modules. The hole in each insulator is wide at the inner end of the insulators where they abut one another, and is narrowed at the outer ends of the insulators, to trap a socket module in place.

Abstract: A female electrical contact is provided having spaced jaws adapted to receive a mating contact such as a male pin. The spaced jaws are formed so that release forces of different magnitude are necessary to withdraw such male contact from the spaced jaws at the opposed contact ends.

Abstract: Disclosed is an electrical connector transferring device, comprising: a first plastic member having at least one row of first upper through holes and at least one row of first lower through holes; a second plastic member having at least one row of second upper through holes corresponding with said one row of first lower through holes, and at least one row of second lower through holes corresponding with said one row of first upper through holes; a first intermediate block having a set of first grooves corresponding with to said one row of first upper through holes, and a set of second grooves corresponding with said one row of first lower through holes, said first intermediate block being assembled to said first plastic member; a second intermediate block having a set of third grooves corresponding with said one row of second lower through holes, and a set of fourth grooves corresponding with said one row of second upper through holes, said second intermediate block being assembled between said first intermed

Abstract: The present invention is a power distribution unit for electrification of modular wall panels such as used in office buildings and the like. More particularly the invention includes a central junction box, that houses six buss bars three power, one neutral and two ground bars, and two duplex receptacles, pluggable into the sides of the box.

Abstract: An electrical connecting device for disengageable connection to conductors of an electric component comprises an integrated circuit (IC) package having a plurality of leads in dual-in-line configuration. A socket included in such device comprises an insulative housing and first and second pluralities of contacts supported thereon arranged in laterally spaced, longitudinally corresponding positions. Each of the contacts has a first end portion selectively plated, with gold for example, for detachable connection to a conductor of the electric component. A second end of the contacts is selectively tin-plated and soldered to the leads of the IC package. The second end portion of each of the contacts is formed to have thereon at least two laterally spaced contact members, thereby providing for selective securement thereto of IC packages having different laterally spaced leads.
