Latest Patents
Hunt holds a patent for an "Electrical connector for aircraft fuel pumps." This invention features a unitary cup-shaped connector shell with an outer radial connector flange. It is designed to increase the distance between connector pins and grounded portions of the connector shell. This design effectively increases the electrical current leak path length, thereby preventing arcing from occurring. The connector includes a glass electrical insulating plug that forms a hermetic seal at the closed end of the shell. Additionally, a plurality of ceramic tubular risers are mounted to the glass insulating plug, allowing connector pins to extend through them. Electrical cables are then connected to these pins, ensuring a secure and efficient connection. The invention is further enhanced by outer layers of heat-shrunk electrical insulating tubing that cover the risers and a portion of the connector pins.
