An inductor assembly includes a housing including a base, a sidewall, and an insert. The base and the sidewall define a cavity and the insert being positioned within the cavity. A core assembly is positioned within the cavity. The core assembly includes a core and a plurality of windings wrapped about the core and disposed between the sidewall and the insert. A flow path is formed in the housing for receiving a coolant to remove heat from the core assembly.

Thermal management of high power inductors

Generator housings for generators of aircraft are provided. The generator housings include a mounting pad at a first end, the generator housing extending to a second end, and a base arranged to connect to an electronics module. The generator housing defines a generator cavity and a flow path to supply a working fluid through the generator housing, the flow path extending between an inlet formed in the mounting pad and at least one outlet formed in the mounting pad. One or more electronics flow ports enable fluid connection between the flow path within the generator housing and the electronic module when connected and one or more inductor ports enable fluid connection between the flow path within the generator housing and one or more inductors when mounted to the generator housing.

Aircraft generator systems and housings thereof

A jackscrew assembly for a circuit board connector includes a jackset drive cap including drive cap threads and a jackset body. The jackset body includes first jackset body threads configured to mate with the drive cap threads and second jackset body threads configured to mate with a separate fixed connector fastener. The jackset drive cap and the jackset body are configured to retain a connector body therebetween in an assembled state while allowing the jackscrew assembly to rotate relative to the connector body.

Jackscrew assemblies for circuit board connections

A power-distribution panel has a circuit-breaker panel that is completely separable from an aircraft and from a back chassis connected to the aircraft. The back chassis is mechanically mounted to the aircraft and electrically connected to both a power-supply bus and a power-distribution harness of the aircraft. The circuit-breaker panel can be removably coupled to the back chassis to complete a plurality of circuits from the power supply bus to a plurality the plurality of circuits that receive power via the power-distribution harness. In some embodiments, the circuit-breaker panel can be slideably coupled to the back chassis without the use of tools. Electrical connectors may provide electrically connectivity between the circuit-breaker panel and the back chassis. The electrical connectors may have back chassis portions that align with circuit-breaker panel portions so as to provide such electrically connectivity automatically when the circuit-breaker panel is coupled to the back chassis.
