A board mount for an electrical transformer is provided by a unitary body having a wire termination section and a boardlock. The body is mountable to a transformer bobbin with an end of a transformer wire being terminated in the wire termination section and with the boardlock extending externally of the bobbin. The transformer can be electrically and mechanically mated with a circuit board by inserting the boardlock into a hole in the circuit board.

Transformer board mount

An electrical terminal assembly is provided with retention clip means for retaining a substrate in place. The retention clip means are designed in such a manner as to allow the insertion of the substrate into the clip means without damaging a sensitive layer of material provided on one side of the substrate.

Electrical terminal assembly for thermistors

An electrical connector housing which is intended to be mounted on a motor stator comprises a prismatic terminal housing portion having a flat base and having cavities therein for reception of electrical terminals. A supporting rib extends laterally from one of the sidewalls of the terminal housing portion and a surface is provided adjacent to the terminal housing portion for positioning the housing on one face of a stator with the rib extending laterally inwardly of the stator. The rib has clamping means on its inner end so that the housing can be clamped to the stator with the clamping means in engagement with surface portions of adjacent pole members of the stator.

Electrical connections to coil windings

A double-ended electrical connecting device for connecting two wires to each other is generally U-shaped and comprises a web and sidewalls. The sidewalls are reversely bent inwardly towards each other and towards the web so that a double thickness of metal is provided in the upper portions of the sidewalls which are remote from the web. A wire-receiving opening is provided in the web and this opening merges with wire-receiving slots extending partially along the sidewalls. Additional wire-receiving slots extend inwardly from the upper free edges of the sidewalls through portions of the double thicknesses of metal. One wire is moved laterally of its axis and into each of the slots electrically to connect both wires to the connecting device and to each other.

Double-ended connecting device

Electrical connector for connecting two conductors to two terminal pins which extend from a hermetic header comprises an insulating housing having three side-by-side stalls therein. One conductor extends to one of the stalls and is connected by a crimped splice terminal to a lead from a diode which is also contained in the housing. The other lead from the diode extends to another stall and is crimped to a pin-receiving terminal in the other stall. The second conductor extends to the remaining stall and is crimped to a pin-receiving terminal in that stall. The arrangement is such that when a tensile force is applied to the conductors, no force is transmitted to the leads of the diode.
