An enclosure mounting assembly for mounting different sized enclosures onto support poles or flat support walls.

Enclosure mounting assembly

An enclosure assembly for housing printed circuit boards and related electrical components that provides secured component mounting in outdoor environments.

Printed circuit board enclosure assembly

An electrical connector has a plastic body and a blade contact in a terminal cavity in the body. A guard extends across the mouth of the cavity over an adjacent edge of the blade. A physical interlock connection holds the guard on the blade edge to shield the blade and prevent an object inserted into the mouth from contacting the blade.

A torque-limited fastener turnable in fastening and loosening directions for one-time use includes a fastener head with a base, a set of lugs extending from the base, and an optional set of ramps extending from the base. The lugs include abutment surfaces facing a fastening tool slot recess that receives a fastening tool. When the fastening tool is turned in the fastening direction it bears against the lug surfaces. The lugs shear off or plastically deform into recesses when the fastening tool applies a limiting fastening torque. The ramps have abutment surfaces facing a loosening tool slot recess that receives a loosening tool. The ramps cam the fastening tool over the ramp abutment surfaces if the fastening tool is in the fastening tool recess and is turned in the fastening direction after the lugs have sheared off or have plastically deformed in response to application of the limiting torque.

Torque-limited and removable fastener for one-time use

A connector socket with a body, a circuit board in the body and a header on the board. The contacts of terminals on the header are positioned in desired locations in openings in the body.

Electrical connector assembly

An electrical connector for a power cable having a lead assembly which forms electrical connections between wires in the cable and contacts to one side of the cable.

Electrical connector for power cable

An electrical connector assembly for forming AC power connections between a DC-to-AC inverter on a solar panel and AC power cable extending to an AC power grid includes a three-contact socket on the inverter and a three-contact electrical connector on the cable. The connector may be joined to the socket in either of two positions.

Electric vehicle charging connector

An electronic connector latch system provides safety via an internally hidden latch that requires a correctly sized pin to open. The described system is positive, in that it provides a 'deadbolt' style latching wherein the pull out force is perpendicular to direction of opening the latch, and latching occurs on both sides of the locking post. The system is still user friendly in that mating the two connectors together can be accomplished without any tools. Mating is achieved with a simple insertion of the mating connector. The latch is captured inside the plastic unit housing, and a stamped sheet metal spring provides high cycle life.

Positive safety latch

A cable assembly () includes an insulative housing () having a base portion () and a tongue portion () extending forwardly therefrom, at least a mounting cavity () and a curved slot () defined in a low section of the insulated housing, said curved slot located behind and communicated to the mounting cavity; a plurality of contacts () supported by the base portion, each contact having a mating portion arranged proximate to the top side of the tongue portion, and a tail portion extending beyond a back surface of the base portion; an optical module () accommodated in the mounting cavity and a spring member () arranged between the optical module and a back side of the mounting cavity; an optical fiber () extending through the curved slot and connected to the optical module; and a metal shell () having a mating frame enclosing the tongue portion and the optical module therein.
