Appl. No.:

7/076271

Inventors:

Gerald E. Walters - Granada Hills CA
Clinton H. Dutcher - Thousand Oaks CA
Jerry Nurek - Los Angeles CA

Assignee:

G & H Technology, Inc. - Camarillo CA

International Classification:

H01R 1366

US Classification:

439620

Abstract:

An electrically conductive block assembly is provided for positioning contact pins in an electrical connector and dissipating high energy voltage pulses to a ground. A voltage variable material is used to space the pins out of direct contact with the block. The block is in electrical communication with a grounded electrical connector housing. High voltage pulses to the contact pins will divert into the voltage variable material, through the block and to the grounded housing.

Gerald E. Walters - Granada Hills CA

Assignee:

Automation Industries, Inc. - Greenwich CT

International Classification:

H01R 1362

US Classification:

339 89R

Abstract:

A wire frame aid is received over the cable and the connector part that carries the coupling housing. At one end of the frame coded keys interlockingly engage keys and keyways on the outer surface of the coupling housing. The aid is gripped by one or both hands when it is desired to rotate the housing providing greater purchase of the hand and additional leverage for opening or closing the connector, as the case may be. An elongated slot-like opening enables the aid to be slipped on and off the cable and connector, as desired. In a second version, an elongated hollow metal body having a bore sufficient to permit receipt onto the cable has an enlarged threaded end which is received onto a similarly threaded portion of the coupling housing. The end portion of the metal body opposite the threaded end is provided with transversely extending parts which can be gripped with the hand or fingers, or with a suitable tool during use.
