Filed:

May 12, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/570056

Inventors:

Alan C. Miller - Madison CT
John J. Miller - Milford CT
Tracy H. Udelson - Westerly RI
Randolph R. Ruetsch - Branchburg NJ
Raul Pereira - Cumberland RI

Assignee:

Hubbell Incorporated - Orange CT

International Classification:

H02G 314

US Classification:

174 66, 174 67, 220241, 220242

Abstract:

A cover for a wall mounted enclosure having a faceplate with first and second sides and an aperture extending through the plate. A screw retention assembly is coupled to the plate adjacent the aperture by a flexible mechanism that is more flexible than the plate. The flexible mechanism is bendable with respect to three separate axes relative to the faceplate, allowing the screw retention assembly to float with respect to the plate about those axes. This enables the faceplate to fit flush against the wall and the screw retention assembly to fit flush against the enclosure even when the enclosure is misaligned or depressed relative to the wall.

International Classification:

H01R 2400

US Classification:

439676, 439 761, 439941

Abstract:

A wire connecting unit for an electrical connector for communication and data transmission systems includes a circuit board with a free and a near end and having four pairs of contacts mounted in a cantilever manner. The wire connecting unit has specific contact configurations that reduce crosstalk, attenuation, propagation delay, and other electrical and magnetic properties that interfere with communication and data transmission. In one embodiment, a first row of contacts extends generally upwardly and backwardly from the free end of the printed circuit board toward the near end, and a second row of contacts placed further from the free end of the printed circuit board than the first row of contacts extends generally upwardly and backwardly from the free end toward the near end. Each adjacent contact can have only a single push foot that extends laterally and outwardly from its proximal end, remote from the other contact in the respective pair, allowing the contacts to be placed relatively close together to further reduce the electrical and magnetic properties that interfere with communication and data transmission.

International Classification:

H01R 2400

US Classification:

439676, 439941

Abstract:

The present invention relates to an electrical connector for telecommunications applications, including a circuit board and first and second electrical contacts, extending from the circuit board along first and second paths, respectively, the second path crossing the first path. A third electrical contact extends from the circuit board along a third path, and a fourth electrical contact extends from the circuit board along a fourth path, the fourth path crossing the third path. At least four electrical terminals extend from the circuit board and at least four electrically conductive traces on the circuit board electrically couple each of the first, second, third and fourth electrical contacts to a respective electrical terminal.

International Classification:

H01R 4/38

US Classification:

439321

Abstract:

An electrical connector is provided that protects the electrical connector and associated components from harsh mechanical, electrical and environmental requirements. A jack is received by a jack housing, and a plug is received by a plug housing. The jack is adapted to receive the plug. A first seal member is positioned between the plug housing and the jack housing to form a seal therebetween when the jack and the plug are connected. A coupling member is attached to the plug housing and is adapted to receive the jack housing. A spring member is positioned between the coupling member and the plug housing to compress the first seal member between the jack housing and the plug housing.

Inventors:

Randolph Robert Ruetsch - Branchburg NJ, US
Vikram Madineni - Somerset NJ, US

Assignee:

Ingersoll-Rand Company - Davidson NC

International Classification:

B25F 5/02

US Classification:

173170, 29428

Abstract:

The housing assembly has a grip portion having a heightwise axis. The housing assembly includes a housing member having parallel upper and lower housing guide features spaced apart along the heightwise axis. The trigger member is mounted in the housing assembly to slide along a slide axis transverse to the heightwise axis. The trigger member includes parallel upper and lower trigger guide features spaced apart along the heightwise axis and mated with the upper and lower housing guide features. The upper and lower housing guide features and the upper and lower trigger guide features cooperate to limit the trigger member to a linear slide path relative to the housing assembly and inhibit cocking of the trigger member about a lateral axis transverse to each of the heightwise axis and the slide axis.
