  • Patent number: 8951077
    Abstract: A wire connecting terminal for enameled wires includes an insulating plate (2) and a pair of conductive bars (1) respectively fixed at two ends of the insulating plate. One end of the said bars is provided with a lead-wire welding hole (1a) for welding an external lead wire and the other end of the bars is provided with at least one enameled-wire welding hole (4a) for welding an enameled wire (4). The terminal has apparently low impedance, and the tensile strength of the welding points is more than 2000N. Because of being separated from the air, the welding points still remain excellent electrical performance and stability after a long period of operation. When operating in a high frequency vibration environment for a long time, the wire connecting terminal does not loose. The possibility of short circuit which is caused by two ends of a coil contacting directly with each other due to the deformation of the terminal thus can be prevented.

    Abstract: A lead frame assembly comprises a stamped and formed lead frame having spaced pairs of electrical terminals and other contact sections. Severable sections initially interconnect potential electrical circuit sections of the lead frame separating the lead frame into separate metal members defining discrete electrical circuits if severed. A dielectric covering is molded over the lead frame exposing the pairs of terminals and other contact sections for termination or electrical engagement. Openings are formed in the housing exposing the severable sections of the lead frame for severing, to be selectively severed creating separate electrical circuit sections, or to be retained unsevered, as desired. After the molding of the covering over the lead frame, the article thus fabricated can be customized by selective severing and connecting of components as desired.

  • Patent number: 4723924
    Abstract: The invention is an electrical connector assembly particularly suited for coupling or interfacing external wiring to the back plane of a circuit board housing. In detail, the invention comprises a first connector half having a first set of electrical contacts and a second connector half having a second set of electrical contacts. At least one of the first and second sets of electrical contacts is coated or tinned with solder. An integral heater is coupled to the first electrical connector for heating the solder to a temperature wherein the solder can be melted. Thus, the connector halves can be connected such that the first and second sets of electrical contacts are in contact. Thereafter, the contacts can be heated by applying electrical current to the heater so that the solder is reflowed. When the electrical power is terminated the solder solidifies, thus forming a continuous and air tight path between the first and second sets of contacts.
