Zipper-type electrical connectors

Electrical connector is described of zipper-like configuration, in which sequentially interlocking tines serve as electrical contacts or insulators.

Levoe, C. E.↗

Watertight low-cost electrical connector

Fabrication is described of waterproof electrical connector assembly for use with Teflon jacketed cables and constructed so that assembly will remain sealed under extreme environmental conditions. Conditions are specified as: pressure from vacuum to atmospheric; temperature from 280 K to 450 K; exposure to saturated steam; and steam suddenly introduced into vacuum.

Dudenhoefer, J. E.↗

Electromagnetic connector

Connector pair consists of two iron cores brought together a short distance from each other. Each core is wound with insulated wire. Ac signal is connected through the pair across the gap by magnetic induction. Device can be used underwater or in flammable atmosphere.

Gardner, W. C.↗

Flammability control for electrical cables and connectors

Technique of covering fire-hazardous sections of electrical wiring with fireproof materials prevents fires from spreading in oxygen-enriched atmospheres and eliminates use of heavy metal enclosures. Materials used to cover potting on connectors and ground terminals are made from Teflon-coated Beta cloth and Fluorel, a nonflammable fully-saturated polymer.

Wick, W. O.↗

RF shielded connectors

Gap, where cable joins connector housing, is shielded effectively by composite RF shielding made from suitable potting resin material (fumed silica, thixotropic prepolymer composition), conductive coating (silver-filled, flexible, polyurethane resin), and protective jacket (wax coated housing formed around another wax form having contours shaped to match configuration).

Fisher, A.↗

Military usage of connectors

Military specifications with general purpose parameters and termination data covering flat connectors and flat cables are proposed. The material, design, coating, and insulation are discussed, and drafts of specifications for flat cables including quality assurance provisions, and inspection are presented.

Schade, R.↗

Modified electrical connector

A removable interfacial insulator design concept is described that simplifies electrical connector repairability when damage occurs to male electrical contacts or resilient interfacial seal.
