Methods, equipment and materials for potting electrical connectors of cable assemblies with epoxy resins
A device, used before and after assembly, tests the continuity of an electrical circuit through each pin and socket of multiple connector sockets. Electrically insulated except at the contact area, a test probe is dimensioned to make contact only in properly formed sockets.
Bolt load necessary to flatten flange of pipe connector to achieve positive gasket compression for leakage prevention
Indexing pickup monitors fluid pressures from ports at various angles on high or low speed rotating mechanisms in operation. By a simple axial movement of a takeoff connector, angle changing takes place. This device can be adapted for electric current monitoring.
Feed-through connector with individual solder pots in the polyterminal side provides good connections with small amounts of solder and permits visual inspection of bonds. Polyterminal also provides a friction mechanical bond to position conductors prior to soldering.
Consisting of three pivoted members, this hand cutter and stripper positions to cut shielding and insulation at the right distance and depth. Coaxial cable is prepared quickly and accurately for connector attachment.
Dispensing system uses a rotating drum, transfer arm, and stationary drum to deploy, reel in, and store an attached hose. This system which eliminates torsion and minimizes strain and wear of flexible hoses, is used for handling flexible cables that have one end permanently attached to an outlet or connector.
Compact-vibration damping systems, consisting of rubber-coated metal bellows with a sliding O-ring connector, are used in vacuum lines. The device presents a metallic surface to the vacuum system and combines flexibility with the necessary stiffness. It protects against physical damage, reduces fatigue failure, and provides easy mating of nonparallel lines.
Rugged module package for thin film hybrid microcircuits incorporated a rigid, thermally conductive support structure, which serves as a heat sink, and a lead wire block in which T-shaped electrical connectors are potted. It protects the circuitry from shock and vibration loads, dissipates internal heat, and simplifies electrical connections between adjacent modules.
Vibration resistant flange-connector assembly provides a leaktight seal under reduced bolt loads. The assembly consists of ductile metal plates that are pressure welded between dies mounted in recessed flanges.
Process reduces secondary electron emission in coaxial connector and in waveguides in the atmosphere. The assembly is placed in a vacuum chamber and is gradually vented to the atmosphere. It is exposed to high voltage, argon gas, and a hydrocarbon gas during the process.
Electrical connector clamp /bus bar/ gives high contact-surface efficiency for providing a high current to thin wall stainless steel tubing containing hydrogen gas. It uses lead solder film to provide the electrical equivalent of a fusion bond without degrading the grain structure, permitting disassembly and reuse of the components.
Sample capsule for determination of oxygen in hemolyzed blood consists of a measured section of polytetrafluoroethylene tubing equipped at each end with a connector and a stopcock valve. This method eliminates errors from air entrainment or from the use of mercury or syringe lubricant.
Coaxial cable stripping device assures clean, right angled shoulder for RF cable connector fabrication. This method requires minimal skill and creates a low voltage standing wave ratio and mechanical stability in the interconnecting RF Cables.
Flat cable insulation stripping machine operates on a principle of variable parameters of abradive wheel speed, wheel pressure on the flat cable, and flat cable feed speed into the abradive wheel. Application of connectors is handled efficiently with this flat terminal termination technique.
Small units of standard glass apparatus held together by short lengths of transparent heat-shrinkable polyolefin tubing. The tubing is shrunk over glass O-ring type connectors having O-rings but no lubricant.
To provide flared tubing and hose connections for high-pressure hand tightened cryogenic service, a 1/4-inch male AN seal was modified by machining to receive a special, double-truncated-cone-shaped Kel-F washer between it and the flared flex hose connector.
