A locking mechanism for a pyrotechnic safe and arm interruptermay be constructed with an external lock casing, longitudinally extending bolt, washer, spring, retaining ringand interlocking elementthat may be configured in various shapes and features corresponding with a safety release component. A keymay be constructed with key stem, handleand two pairs of teethof different diameters radially protruding from successively reduced diameters along a distal portion of key stem. Lockmay be installed with notchin alignment with a corresponding feature of the safe and arm interrupter mechanism and fastened in place with mounting holesso that only mounting flangeand the key accessare external to the interrupter device, panel or door.

Safing lock mechanism

An optical package is provide including a housing having first and second ends. A ferrule receiving bore is formed in the first end, and an optics cavity is formed in the second end. The optics cavity and the ferrule receiving bore are axially aligned with one another along an optical axis defined by the package. A mounting cap is inserted over the optics cavity and frictionally engages an outer surface of the housing. The end cap includes an endplate and a substrate having an optical device mounted thereon. The sleeve, focusing element and a mounting ring may be insert molded within the housing.

Optical package with alignment means and method of assembling an optical package

A device which retains a polymer mounting block between a metallic cover and a metallic base. The mounting block includes two mounting halves. The mounting halves being hermaphroditic such that a pair of the mounting halves of the mounting block being substantially identical can be assembled in opposite transverse relation to form the mounting block. The mounting half of the mounting block includes a member and two latch arms attached to the member. The member includes a transmitter mounting provision and a receiver mounting provision. The transmitter mounting provision receives a transmitter sub-assembly, and the receiver mounting provision receives a receiver sub-assembly. The transmitter mounting provision and the receiver mounting provision straddle the second latch arm, and the first latch arm and the second latch arm straddle one of the transmitter mounting provision and the receiver mounting provision.

An optical package is provided including a housing having first and second ends. A ferrule receiving bore is formed in the first end, and an optics cavity is formed in the second end. The optics cavity and the ferrule receiving bore are axially aligned with one another along an optical axis defined by the package. A mounting cap is inserted over the optics cavity and frictionally engages an outer surface of the housing. The end cap includes an endplate and a substrate having an optical device mounted thereon. The ferrule receiving bore includes a longitudinal slot extending generally parallel to the axis of the bore providing radial flexibility to the outer wall. Additionally, a split sleeve is provided for accepting a fiber optic connector ferrule. The split sleeve being insertable and expandable in a ferrule receiving bore of an optical package housing. The split sleeve being retained in the ferrule receiving bore with an adhesive.

A Media Interface Adapter (MIA) module is provided for converting Fiber Channel data signals from a first copper transfer medium to a second alternate transfer medium. The MIA includes an internal mounted printed circuit board containing the electronic components necessary to convert signals between the first copper medium and second alternate medium. A transmitter is provided for transmitting the data signals over the second alternate transfer medium, and a receiver is provided for receiving data signals over the second alternate transfer medium. Opposite the transmitter and receiver, a nine pin electrical D-sub connector is provided for connecting the module to the first copper transfer medium. The D-sub connector has a metal flange insertable into a connector mounting structures formed in the housing. The connector mounting structures being configured to partially overlap the flange of the D-sub connector. Likewise, the first and second housing members further include transmitter and receiver mounting structures configured to partially overlap the transmitter and receiver packages. Finally, the housing members are configured to enclose the printed circuit board, transmitter, receiver, and electrical connector, the first and second housing members having longitudinal sidewalls including overlapping mating structures forming an overlapping joint between the two housing members.

External pluggable high frequency data communication module

An optical package is provided having a diode mounted to a substrate enclosed by a housing which includes a bore for receiving an optical waveguide and a focusing element adjacent the bore. The bore and focusing element are aligned along a common optical axis. An alignment means is associated with the housing for aligning the substrate along the optical axis.
