Power tools with housings or hammer cases include a thin wall titanium shell tapering from a smaller forward section to a larger rearward section; with at least the rearward section having a wall with a substantially constant wall thickness and an interface flange that includes an outer perimeter profile that is curvilinear and defines a plurality of outwardly extending detents that provide an interference fit with the wall of the hammer case.

A power tool includes a housing, an electric motor mounted in the housing, and a switching device for reversing rotation direction of the motor. The switching device includes an actuator slidably secured to the housing and movable between first and second positions. The actuator includes a magnet. A first ferromagnetic member is attached to a first housing section so as to be within range of attraction force of the magnet when the actuator is in the first position and a second ferromagnetic member is attached to a second housing section so as to be within range of attraction force of the magnet when the actuator is in the second position. A hall sensor is attached to the housing so as to be proximate the magnet as the actuator is moved between first and second positions. Proximity of the magnet and hall sensor reverses the direction of rotation of the motor.

Forward/reverse switching device for power tools

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.

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.

Electrical connector contact configurations

An electrical connector assembly includes a jack and a plug. The jack has a cavity for receiving the plug, a stop member and latch stop. The plug has a plug body and a resilient latch arm with an arm and an abutment. The latch stop is spaced from the stop member by a jack nominal dimension within a jack tolerance. The plug has a free end spaced from the arm abutment by a plug nominal dimension within a plug tolerance. The difference between the jack nominal dimension and the plug nominal dimension is not greater than the sum of the jack tolerance and the plug tolerance.

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.

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.
