6475043, Nov 5, 2002

Filed:

May 2, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/847861

Inventors:

John Pereira - Rehoboth MA
Manuel Machado - Hope RI
Stephen Antaya - West Kingston RI

Assignee:

Antaya Technologies Corporation - Cranston RI

International Classification:

H01K 410

US Classification:

439876, 439 83

Abstract:

An electrical connector includes a hollow conductive post member having a circular periphery, a foot portion and a distal end. The distal end has a generally cup shaped indentation. A base member is included having top and bottom surfaces. The foot portion of the post member is mounted to the top surface. At least one standoff extends from the bottom surface of the base member. The at least one standoff is for resting against a contact surface when soldering the electrical connector to the contact surface, thereby separating the bottom surface from the contact surface to define a minimum volume therebetween for occupation by solder.

Appl. No.:

10/176946

Inventors:

Stephen C. Antaya - West Kingston RI
Manuel H. Machado - Hope RI

Assignee:

Antaya Technologies Corporation - Cranston RI

International Classification:

H02G 1502

US Classification:

174 78, 174 84 C, 174 88 R, 174 94 R, 174117 F

Abstract:

A connector device is shaped or formed to include bendable flaps for securing one or more conductors when the flaps are crimped. Typically, the connector device includes a base having an external surface that is eventually affixed to a complementary shaped surface. Accordingly, a conductor can be attached to the complementary shaped surface. For example, one or more conductors can be crimped via the connector device, which is thereafter attached to a complementary surface.

10/207656

Inventors:

Stephen Antaya - West Kingston RI
Manuel Machado - Hope RI

Assignee:

Antaya Technologies Corporation - Cranston RI

International Classification:

H01R 448

US Classification:

439862, 439876, 439 83

Abstract:

An electrical terminal includes a generally planar base pad having two opposed legs and an intermediate portion. The base pad legs have proximal and distal ends and are joined at the proximal ends to the intermediate portion. The legs are spaced apart from each other to form a gap between the legs. The base pad legs have inner edges facing each other which extend away from each other moving away from the proximal ends of the base pad legs to the distal ends. A connector arm having a neck extends upwardly from the intermediate portion of the base pad between the base pad legs and terminates in a blade connector for engaging with a mating terminal. The neck has a proximal end with a width that is less than the gap between the proximal ends of the base pad legs by about  mm to 3 mm. The neck has a narrowing section moving away from the proximal end of the neck.

International Classification:

H01R 1200

US Classification:

439 78, 439 83, 343713, 343895

Abstract:

An electrical terminal assembly includes an electrical terminal having an electrical connector for engaging a mating connector, and a base pad extending from the electrical connector. The base pad has a bottom electrical contact surface. A securement arrangement having an instant adhesive surface is adjacent to the bottom electrical contact surface of the base pad for instantly securing the base pad to a substrate.
