US Patent:

7354282, Apr 8, 2008

Filed:

Jun 15, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/153772

Inventors:

Yan Margulis - Buffalo Grove IL, US
Arvind Patel - Naperville IL, US

Assignee:

Molex Incorporated - Lisle IL

International Classification:

H01R 12/00

US Classification:

439 79, 4395401, 439660

Abstract:

An electrical power blade connector includes a dielectric housing having a mating cavity for receiving a mating connector inserted into the cavity through an open front end thereof in a mating direction. A pair of blade support arms project forwardly within the cavity. The support arms are spaced laterally of the mating direction. Each support arm has a pair of spaced grooves which open toward the other support arm. The grooves extend in the mating direction. A pair of blade terminals are supported in the pairs of grooves in the pair of support arms in spaced, generally parallel planes.

International Classification:

H01R013/648

US Classification:

439637000

Abstract:

An electrical connector is capable of easy conversion from a receptacle connector to a blade connector. A dielectric housing includes an elongated receptacle for receiving a blade terminal of an appropriate mating blade connector. At least one connector terminal is mounted on the housing and includes a contact portion exposed in the receptacle to form a receptacle connector and for engaging the blade terminal of the mating blade connector. A bare blade member has a mounting end fixable in the receptacle in engagement with the contact portion of the connector terminal. A bare blade end of the blade member projects from a mating face of the housing to convert the receptacle connector to a blade connector.

Appl. No.:

6/342606

Inventors:

James E. Beck - Des Plaines IL
Arvind M. Patel - Chicago IL

Assignee:

Sun Electric Corporation - Crystal Lake IL

International Classification:

G01N 2700

US Classification:

73 23

Abstract:

Gas analyzing techniques for monitoring the amount of oxygen in the exhaust of motor vehicles. An oxygen sensor produces a sensor signal having a sensor value proportional to the partial pressure of the oxygen produced by the motor vehicle. Processing circuitry generates a resulting signal proportional to the sum of the sensor value, another value proportional to the first derivative of the sensor value and a third value proportional to the second derivative of the sensor value. The resulting signal can be used to predict the final sensor value at a point in time earlier than would be otherwise possible.

International Classification:

H01R 424

US Classification:

439441

Abstract:

An electrical connector includes a dielectric housing having a terminal-receiving passage for insertion thereinto of a terminal. The terminal includes a cantilevered spring contact arm projecting into the passage for engagement by an appropriate conductor inserted into the passage. The terminal further includes an engagement arm projecting into the passage behind the cantilevered spring contact arm at a location to perform the dual function of providing an anti-overstress engagement surface for the spring contact arm and providing an engagement shoulder for an insertion tool which forces the terminal into the terminal-receiving passage of the housing. The passage is open-ended to allow the conductor to be inserted completely through the housing past the contact arm of the terminal and into the clearance hole of the printed circuit board.
