  • Patent number: 5026295
    Abstract: A cover is provided for closing a cavity and a polarizing slot of an electrical connector to protect interior terminals during a soldering process with the electrical connector mounted on a printed circuit board. The connector is in the form of a header having side walls and a bottom wall defining the cavity. A polarizing slot is formed in one of the side walls. The terminals are disposed in the cavity, with solder tails projecting through the bottom wall for soldering to circuit traces on the printed circuit board. The cover includes a lid press-fit onto the header to close the cavity, and a projection depends from the lid in position for closing the polarizing slot in the one side wall of the header.

  • Patent number: 4695815
    Abstract: An automobile fuse with damage indicator, in which two conductors of a small indicator bulb are connected in parallel with two conductors of a fusible link so that the bulb does not light as long as the fuse is in good condition; but will light immediately by current passing through the load after the fusible link is broken by an overload. The lighting of an indicator at the place where the fuse is installed directly indicates a burnt fuse, particularly at night or in a dark place and trouble shooting and replacement of fuse can be conducted quickly.
