International Classification:

H01R 12/00

US Classification:

439 79

Abstract:

An electrical connector has a connect or shroud. A pin block disposed in the connector body supports a plurality of terminal pins that have head portions projecting out a forward end of the pin block and tail portions projecting out a rearward end of the pin block. The connector shroud has a socket at a forward end that receives a terminal stabilizer that is locked to the pin block to hold the terminal stabilizer and the pin block in assembly with the connector shroud to form a module. The module may include a block seal that can be sandwiched between the terminal stabilizer and the pin block during assembly of the module. The rear end of the connector shroud is truncated at an angle for a direct top down assembly of the module to a housing that has an attachment collar that is truncated at the same angle. The pin terminal tail portions are bent at a right angle and project through holes in a pin alignment member and a printed circuit board that are mounted inside the housing.

International Classification:

H01R 13/66

US Classification:

43962009, 320111

Abstract:

A filtered electrical connector for a power module comprises a connector body having a back wall partly defining a chamber at one end of the connector body. An alternating current filter is retained in the chamber, and a terminal extends through the back wall, the chamber, and the alternating current filter disposed in the chamber. The filtered electrical connector is attached to a housing having a metal portion with the chamber disposed in a pass-through hole of the housing. The terminal is attached to an electrical circuit inside the housing and the alternating current filter is grounded on the metal portion of the housing to filter alternating current flowing outside of the housing from the electrical circuit inside the housing via the terminal.

Appl. No.:

5/901659

Inventors:

Assignee:

Westinghouse Electric Corp. - Pittsburgh PA

International Classification:

B23P 1904

US Classification:

291574

Abstract:

Method and apparatus for removing the tube bundle from a steam generator disposed in a nuclear steam power plant while preserving an environment seal between the inside of the generator and the containment vessel. The tube bundle severed from the tubesheet is withdrawn upwardly into a multi-section crane including metal cask placed over an opened upper end of the steam generator shell. Removal of the bundle-containing cask is effectuated by the plant's radius crane and the cask lowered onto a metal cover plate made secure to the bottom of the cask. By a series of manipulations by the cask and radius cranes and use of tube and wrapper cutting equipment, length sections of the tube bundle and its wrapper can be contained in respective sequentially-separated top-and-bottom covered cask length sections for removal from the containment vessel.

US Classification:

254 29A

Abstract:

A quick-acting stud tensioner tool for enabling the loosening or tightening of a stud nut on a reactor vessel stud. The tool engages the vessel stud by closing a gripper mechanism around an upper end of the vessel stud upon a transfer of the mass of the tool from a hoist to a support structure surrounding the vessel stud. After the stud has been elongated, the gripper mechanism releases the vessel stud when the mass of the tool is transferred from the support structure surrounding the vessel stud to the hoist.
