The present invention relates to electrical contacts and connectors designed and configured for transmitting power. At least some of the preferred connector embodiments include both power contacts and signal contacts disposed in a housing unit.
Electrical hardware and systems designers are confronted with competing factors in the development of new electrical connectors and power contacts. For example, increased power transmission often competes with dimensional constraints and undesirable heat buildup. Further, typical power connector and contact beam designs can create high mating forces. When a high mating force is transferred into a connector housing structure, the plastic can creep, causing dimensional changes that can affect the mechanical and electrical performance of the connector. The unique connectors and contacts provided by the present invention strive to balance the design factors that have limited prior art performance.
The present invention provides power contacts for use in an electrical connector. In accordance with one preferred embodiment of the present invention, there has now been provided a power contact including a first plate-like body member, and a second plate-like body member stacked against the first plate-like body member so that the first and second plate-like body members are touching one another along at least a portion of opposing body member surfaces.
In accordance with another preferred embodiment of the present invention, there has now been provided a power contact including juxtaposed first and second plate-like body members that define a combined plate width. The first body member includes a first terminal and the second body member includes a second terminal. A distance between respective distal ends of the first terminal and the second terminal is greater than the combined plate width.
In accordance with yet another preferred embodiment, there has now been provided a power contact including opposing first and second plate-like body members. A set of pinching beams extends from the opposing plate-like body members for engaging a straight beam associated with a mating power contact. At least one straight beam also extends from the opposing plate-like body members for engaging an angled beam associated with the mating power contact.
In accordance with another preferred embodiment, there has now been provided a power contact including a first plate that defines a first non-deflecting beam and a first deflectable beam, and a second plate that defines a second non-deflecting beam and a second deflectable beam. The first and second plates are positioned beside one another to form the power contact.
The present invention also provides matable power contacts. In accordance with one preferred embodiment of the present invention, there has now been provided matable power contacts including a first power contact having opposing first and second plate-like body members and a second power contact having opposing third and fourth plate-like body members. At least one of the first and second body members and the third and fourth body members are stacked against each other.
In accordance with another preferred embodiment, there has now been provided matable power contacts including a first power contact having a pair of straight beams and a pair of angled beams, and a second power contact having a second pair of straight beams and a second pair of angled beams. The pair of straight beams are in registration with the second pair of angled beams; the pair of angled beams are in registration with the second pair of straight beams.
In accordance with yet another preferred embodiment, there has now been provided matable power contacts including first and second power contacts. The first power contact includes a body member, a deflecting beam extending from the body member, and a non-deflecting beam extending from the body member. The second power contact includes a second body member, a second deflecting beam extending from the second body member, and a second non-deflecting beam extending from the second body member. When the first and second power contacts are mated, the deflecting beam engages the second non-deflecting beam, and the non-deflecting beam engages the second deflecting beam, so that mating forces are applied in opposite directions to minimize stress in each of the first and second power contacts.
In accordance with another preferred embodiment, there has now been provided matable power contacts including a first power contact and a second power contact. Each of the first and second power contacts includes a pair of opposing non-deflecting beams and a pair of opposing deflectable beams.
The present invention further provides electrical connectors. Preferred electrical connectors may include the above-described power contacts. Additionally, and in accordance with one preferred embodiment of the present invention, there has now been provided an electrical connector including a housing and a plurality of power contacts disposed in the housing. Each of the power contacts has a plate-like body member including at least one of an upper section having a notch formed therein and a separate lower section adapted for fitting within the notch. Some of the power contacts are disposed in the housing such that adjacent power contacts include only one of the upper section and the lower section.
In accordance with another preferred embodiment, there has now been provided an electrical connector including a header electrical connector and a receptacle electrical connector. The header connector includes a header housing and a plug contact disposed in the header housing. The plug contact has a pair of plate-like body members and a plurality of beams extending therefrom. The receptacle connector includes a receptacle housing and a receptacle contact disposed in the receptacle housing. The receptacle contact has a second pair of plate-like body members and a second plurality of beams extending therefrom. The force required to mate the header electrical connector with the receptacle electrical connector is about ION per contact or less.
In accordance with yet another preferred embodiment of the present invention, there has now been provided an electrical connector including a housing, a first power contact, and second power contact. The second power contact has an amperage rating this is higher than that of the first power contact.
Referring to
Header connector 10 and receptacle connector 20 are both designed for a right angled attachment to a printed circuit structure, whereby the corresponding printed circuit structures are coplanar. Perpendicular mating arrangements are also provided by the present invention by designing one of the electrical connectors to have vertical attachment to a printed circuit structure. By way of example, a vertical receptacle connector 30 is shown in
At least some of the preferred electrical connectors include both power and signal contacts. Referring now to
Preferred connector embodiments are extremely compact in nature. Referring now to
A number of preferred power contact embodiments that are suitable for use in the above-described connectors will now be discussed. One preferred power contact 70 is shown in
When power contact 70 is mated with a complementary power contact, beams 78 necessarily flex, deflect or otherwise deviate from their non-engaged position, while beams 76 remain substantially in their non-engaged position. Power contact 70 further includes a plurality of terminals 80 extending from a flared portion 82 of each of body members 72 and 74. The non-flared portions define a combined plate width CPW. Flared portion 82 provides proper alignment of terminals 80 with attachment features of a printed circuit structure, whereby in preferred embodiments, the distance between distal ends of opposing terminals is greater than combined plate width CPW. The terminals themselves may be angled outwardly so that a flared body portion is unnecessary to establish proper spacing when contact body members are stacked or otherwise positioned closely to one another (see, e.g., the terminals in
Referring now to
To reduce the mating force of complementary power contacts and electrical connectors housing the same, contact beams can have staggered extension positions via dimensional differences or offsetting techniques. By way of example,
It is apparent to one skilled in the art that the overall size of a power connector according to the present invention is constrained, in theory, only by available surface area on a bus bar or printed circuit structure and available connector height as measured from the printed circuit structure. Therefore, a power connector system can contain many header power and signal contacts and many receptacle power and signal contacts. By varying the mating sequence of the various power and signal contacts, the initial force needed to mate a header with a receptacle is lower when the two power connectors are spaced farther apart (initial contact) and increases as the distance between the connector header and connector receptacle decreases and stability between the partially mated header and receptacle increases. Applying an increasing force in relation to a decreasing separation between the connector header and connector receptacle cooperates with mechanical advantage and helps to prevent buckling of the connector header and receptacle during initial mating.
Another exemplary power contact 120 is shown in
Note that for a single contact position, as shown in
Referring now to
Plug contact 180 comprise a first plate-like body member 182 stacked against a second plate-like body member 184. Each of the first plate-like body member and the second plate-like body member has a plurality of extending beams 186 for engagement with contact receiving spaces 176. As shown, a pair of beams 186 are dedicated for each individual contact receiving space 176 of the mating receptacle contact 170. Multiple single beams may equally be employed. Each pair of beams 186 includes a space 188 that may enhance heat transfer. Beams 186 are compliant and will flex upon engagement with contact receiving spaces 176. Beams 186 may optionally include a bulbous end portion 190. Contact body members 182 and 184 are shown in an optional staggered arrangement to provide a first mate-last break feature.
Although the power contacts discussed above have included two plate-like body members, some power contact embodiments (not shown) provided by the present invention include only a single plate-like body member. And other power contact designs of the present invention include more than two plate-like body members. Exemplary receptacle and plug contacts 200 and 230, respectively, are shown in
Receptacle power contact 200 includes a pair of outer plate-like body members 202 and 204, and a pair of inner plate-like body members 206 and 208. The outer and inner pairs of plate-like body members are shown in a preferred stacked configuration; that is, there is substantially no space defined between adjacent body members along a majority of their opposing surfaces. A plurality of terminals 201 extend from one or more of the plate-like body members, and preferably from all four of the body members. Each of the pair of outer plate-like body members 202, 204 includes a flared portion 203. Flared portion 203 provides proper spacing for terminal attachment to a printed circuit structure and may aid heat dissipation through a defined space 205. A first pair of beams 210 extends from outer body members 202, 204, and a second pair of beams 212 extends from inner body members 206, 208. In a preferred embodiment, and as shown, the first pair of beams 210 is substantially coterminous with the second pair of beams 212. In alternative embodiments, beams 210 and 212 extend to different positions to provide varied mating sequencing. Beams 210, 212 are designed and configured to engage features of mating plug contact 230, and may further define one or more heat dissipation channels between adjacent beams 210, 212, and heat dissipation channels 215 and 216 defined by opposing beams 210 and 212 themselves. Beams 210 and 212 are shown in a "pinching" or converging configuration, but other configurations may equally be employed. The outer and inner pairs of body members may employ additional beams other than that shown for engaging a plug power contact.
Plug contact 230 also has a pair of outer plate-like body members 232 and 234, and a pair of inner plate-like body members 236 and 238. Similar to the receptacle contact, each of the outer plate-like body members 232, 234 includes a flared portion 233 to provide proper spacing for terminals 231 extending from the body members. Outer plate-like body members 232, 234 preferably comprise a cutout section 240. Cutout section 240 exposes a portion of the inner plate-like body members 236, 238 to provide accessibility for engagement by mating receptacle power contact 200, and may aid heat dissipation, such as by convection. By way of example and as shown in
Another exemplary power contact 241 employing four stacked body members is shown in
Each of the power contact embodiments shown and described thus far have employed multiple plate-like body members stacked against each other. In this stacked arrangement, the body members touch one another along at least a portion of opposing body member surfaces. The figures show the plate-like body members touching one another along a majority of their opposing surfaces. However, alternative contact embodiments contemplated by the present invention have a minority of their opposing surfaces touching. For example, an exemplary contact 253 is shown in
Contact 260, shown in
Contact 290 includes juxtaposed body members 292 and 294, which are preferably spaced apart from one another to define a medial space 296 therebetween. Surface area of body members 292, 294, in combination with medial space 296, allows for heat dissipation, predominantly via convection. A plurality of compliant beams 300, 302 extend from respective juxtaposed body members 292, 294. In one preferred embodiment, beams 300, 302 extend alternatingly from body members 292 and 294. Each of beams 300, 302 has a proximal portion 304 and a distal portion 306. Opposing side portions 308 and 310 are connected by a connecting portion 312, all of which is disposed between the proximal and distal portions 304 and 306. Connecting portion 312 preferably defines a closed beam end that is positioned away from body members 292, 294. Collectively, the foregoing beam portions define a bulb-shaped (or arrow-shaped) beam that provides at least two contact points per each individual beam 300, 302. Although all of contact beams 300, 302 are shown to be identical in size and geometry, the present invention also contemplates multiple beams that are different from one another, varying along one of the body members, as well as varying from body member to body member. The number of beams shown in
As shown in
Split 316 and spaces 296, 318, and 320 allow heat to dissipate from the body members and compliant beams. In
Preferred contacts of the present invention may be stamped or otherwise formed from a strip of suitable material. The contacts may be formed individually, or alternatively formed in groups of two or more. Preferably, a strip of material is die-stamped to define multiple contact features in a pre-finished or finished form. Further manipulation may be needed after the die-stamping operation, such as, for example, coupling features together or altering a feature's originally stamped orientation or configuration (e.g., bending cantilevered beams or contact body portions). Referring to
Individual contact elements can be separated from the remaining structure of strips 330 and 332, and then inserted into connector housings. In an alternative technique, the strips can be stacked together and then placed into a mold for creating overmolded contact subassemblies. A single strip could also be used where a contact employs only a single body member. And more than two strips could be stacked and be overmolded. Suitable thermoplastic material is flowed and solidified around a majority of the stacked body members to form a plastic casing 334, as is shown in
Power and signal contacts of the present invention are made from suitable materials known to the skilled artisan, such as, for example, copper alloys. The contacts may be plated with various materials including, for example, gold, or a combination of gold and nickel. The number of contacts and their arrangement in connector housings is not limited to that shown in the figures. Some of the preferred power contacts of the present invention comprise plate-like body members stacked against each other. Stacking the body members allows a connector to carry extra current because of the added cross sectional area (lower resistance) and has the potential for added surface area that can facilitate convective heat transfer. One of ordinary skill in the art would readily appreciate that the plate-like body members may be planar or non-planar in form. The present invention also includes juxtaposing plate-like body members, such that the body members are spaced apart to define a medial space therebetween. The medial space can also enhance heat transfer, predominantly via convection. The contact plate-like body members may also contain apertures or other heat transfer features. The housing units of electrical connectors provided by the present invention may also contain features for enhancing heat dissipation, such as, for example, channels extending from the exterior of the connector to an interior of the connector, and housing voids or gaps adjacent surface portions of the retained power contacts.
The number, positioning, and geometry of the cantilevered beams extending from the contacts is not limited to that shown in the figures. Some of the beam configurations discussed above have purported benefits; however, other beam configurations contemplated by the present invention may not have the same purported benefits.
While the present invention has been described in connection with the preferred embodiments of the various figures, it is to be understood that other similar embodiments may be used or modifications and additions may be made to the described embodiment for performing the same function of the present invention without deviating therefrom. Therefore, the present invention should not be limited to any single embodiment, but rather construed in breadth and scope in accordance with the recitation of the appended claims.

Delta's New World Order
(DALRQ) is trapped in a downward spiral, fueled by a flawed strategy to boost revenue by throwing capacity at any international destination with an airport.A top Delta executive disagrees, saying the airline industry will abandon that view in just a few months. "The second quarter will drop some people's jaws," says Executive Vice President Glen Hauenstein in an interview. "It will change they way people think [about] how this airline is digging out from a $2 billion loss last year." Hauenstein, who oversaw the international expansion behind the turnaround of Continental Airlines (CAL - Get Report), has mapped out a similar strategy for Delta. "We have international expansion as far as the eye can see," he says, adding that the airline's goal is to do 50% of its business overseas within three years. That exceeds the carrier's previously announced intent to have international flying account for 35% of systemwide revenue by the end of this year, up from about 20% in June 2005.The biggest surprise in the airline industry may be taking off in Atlanta. Conventional wisdom has it that Delta Air Lines

Functional Fitness: Beyond the Bench Press
Functional-fitness exercises focus on making everyday tasks easier. Check out Groupon's basic rundown.
From shoveling snow to climbing stairs, people constantly carry out tasks that may seem mundane, but can lead to serious injury if the body can't handle the workload. Functional fitness targets groups of muscles throughout the body, conditioning them to work together so they can perform a range of simple tasks more easily and safely. Exercises commonly used in a functional-fitness regimen mimic such everyday movements: squatting to pick up a heavy object, lunging forward toward an out-of-reach ledge, balancing on an unstable chair as the shelf collapses.
Whereas a traditional curl targets the biceps by way of elbow movement, a functional exercise might incorporate the shoulders, spine, hips, knees, and ankles, which trains the upper and lower body to work in unison with the aid of a tightened core. This integration allows the muscles to grow at a similar rate, gaining strength in a way that complements the way a person lives rather than the way they simply work out.
One of the major pros of functional fitness is its ability to suit virtually any fitness goal. A report by the American Council on Exercise determined that functional fitness benefitted adults ages 58–78, while a study by the US Army concluded that CrossFit training increased the work capacity of its top athletes by an average of 20% and "characterizes the type of versatility required of US Army soldiers." Regardless of the intensity, it's best to start slow. Beginning with exercises that only use the body's weight helps teach muscles proper form and keep them safe from injury. Once prepared, exercisers can add more resistance with weights, tubing, ropes, elephant trunks, and other tools.

"Tibet, a remote yet fondest memory" Tibet by Stroller
Tibet Travel Guide: 1,399 reviews and 4,150 photos
I spent three months in Tibet in 1986 when I was a third-year undergraduate from Beijing. I was a tourist guide there. Well, sort of, because I didn't know much about Tibet myself. I was more an interpreter at the beginning because every monastery had its own guide who spoke almost fluent Mandarin. This temporary job was arranged by the college as a way to help us practice our oral English. All my classmates were there except for one whose health condition defied his desire to go.
The most amazing experience was the final leg of the trip from Lhasa to Khasa - a small town on the Nepalese border. I think we made two stops (overnight stays) before we finally arrived at Khasa, once in Xigaze, once in Tingri. Tingri is often used as a base by mountain climbers preparing to ascend Mt. Everest which is 60 km away. On our way to Tingri, I saw Mt. Everest without knowing it was Mt. Everest, what a shame. It looked lower than the peaks closer to us, so it wasn't that impressive. I was on the luggage van and the driver didn't know that was Mt. Everest either. But we were soon told what we had witnessed (or missed?) by the professional tourist in another car.
The most memorable experience came the next day. During the 182 km journey from Dingri to Khasa, I was totally mesmerized by the most amazing views of the snow clad mountains and the most dramatic change of landscapes. As we were approaching Nyalam, which is only 30 km away from the Nepalese border, I saw several peaks all above 8,000 meters above sea level, and it was all white around me. Truly other-worldly. But from Nyalam, the scenry started to change. Nyalam is situated at 3,750 metres (12,300 ft) above sea level and again, it's merely 30 km away from the Khasa. I don't know the altitude of Khasa but it must be much much lower than Nyalam. 30 km wasn't a long journey, but the few landslides we saw made the driver extremely mindful of the road condition. First, the snow began to disappear, and then I started to see some vegetations. Slowly but very obviously it became warmer and wetter. As we continued, grasses and trees came into sight, followed by more lavish greens and numberous wallfalls. I suddenly found myself in the sub-tropical zone. It was very warm, very green and very humid. It was a real shock as nobody warned me of this beforehand, which is great.
I stayed at Khasa for another week waiting for the next group from Nepal. I don't remember what exactly I did during that week in that teeny-weeny town (or village) to kill the time. But I do remember frequenting the street market where all the venders were Nepalese. They pretty much felt at home when passing the Chinese cumtoms every morning and evening. I enjoyed the mangos. They were delicious. I also remember having a picture of me taken with me standing on the border line, with one foot on the Chinese side, the other on the Nepalese side. I thought that was cool.

an excellent experience!
bringing back memories of my recent travel from Xining to Urumqi which flew over high mountains and along past Tianshan - and then later went from Kyrzgstan to Kashgar via the Irketesham pass which goes through the amazing long line of mountains of the Tianshan and Pamir ranges - truly spectacular. From Kashgar i got a driver for 2 days up to TAshkurgan and back which is surrounded by the mountains that border China with TAjikstan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India
maybe one day i will get to Tibet as well!

SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Shawn Estes felt lucky he didn't get hurt, and
thrilled to earn a victory.
Roberto Alomar hit a two-run homer in a four-run first inning,
and the New York Mets beat the San Diego Padres 5-2 Saturday night
for their fifth straight win.
Estes (2-4) was struck twice by balls hit up the middle, but he
stayed around for six innings to improve to 11-4 career against the
"I'm going to be pretty sore for four days, but we're on a good
roll right now," Estes said. "The offense is picking up, and the
pitching's still there. We have to ride this one out. This is what
we've been waiting for all year."
Estes, who gave up two runs on seven hits, was struck in the
right calf by Trenidad Hubbard's ground single in the fifth and
then in the back of the neck at the base of the skull when he was
knocked over by Ray Lankford's line single in the sixth.
"It was target practice out there. I've never had a game like
that. There were four (balls) that had a chance to hit me and two
that did," Estes said. "The one that was scarier was obviously
the one in the back of the head just because I hadn't been hit in
the head before. But the one that feels worse is the calf."
Joe McEwing added a two-run single in the first as the Mets
jumped on San Diego starter Brett Tomko one night after beating the
Padres 13-4 for their highest-scoring game of the season.
David Weathers and Scott Strickland each worked a scoreless
inning of relief, and Armando Benitez pitched a perfect ninth for
his eighth save in as many chances.
"This is a real solid game. We pitched well, we hit well and
turned out plays when we had to," Mets manager Bobby Valentine
said. "Shawn is a real tough guy. He got hit real solid twice, but
he kept pitching. He made one mistake for two runs, but other than
that, he was flawless."
Bubba Trammel hit a two-run homer, his fourth of the season, to
cut the Padres' deficit to 5-2 in the sixth.
New York's five-game winning streak comes after losing eight of
The Mets opened the game with four straight hits off Tomko
(3-3), who allowed five runs on seven hits in six innings to fall
to 1-5 career against the Mets.
"If I could erase the first inning, I threw a decent
ballgame," Tomko said. "But I can't erase it. If I could take
back a couple of pitches here and there, it's a different game."
Tomko has given up 29 earned runs in 34 2/3 innings over seven
appearances against New York.
Roger Cedeno singled leading off the first, and Alomar connected
on the next pitch for his fourth homer of the season. Mo Vaughn
singled, and Mike Piazza followed with a double, putting runners at
second and third.
One out later, McEwing knocked in both runners.
"The first inning just got us," Padres manager Bruce Bochy
said. "Brett had trouble getting the ball where he wanted in the
first inning, and it cost him."
The Mets increased their lead to 5-0 in the third, when Jeromy
Burnitz hit a two-out single, stole second and scored on a single
by Timo Perez.
Game notes
McEwing played his seventh position of the season for the
Mets when he made his first start at third base. He has seen action
at every spot except pitcher and catcher. He was previously the
only player in the majors to have started at six positions. ...
Tomko made his 100th career start. The loss left him with a record
of 43-35, spanning six seasons with three clubs. He came to San
Diego this season in a trade with Seattle. ... Vaughn is nine RBIs
shy of 1,000. ... While his San Diego teammates took batting
practice on the field, injured 1B Phil Nevin worked out in an
indoor cage. He went on the 15-day disabled list with a strained
left elbow May 12.

"These stunning address labels exude style and class. The traditional design printed in turquoise and mustard yellow are the perfect touch to any letter or package."
"At first we bought these b/c we had just moved into our new house and we wanted others to notice with our letters/holiday cards. But then after our original supply ran out, we couldn't help but order more b/c this house image looks almost identical to our real house. The artwork style fits our personalites and our small town atmosphere too. Happy customers here!"
"I used these labels to coordinate with the gray polka dot backing on the Bow or Boy invite I used for a baby shower. The Tiny Prints staff was able to coordinate the color of gray on the label to match the back of the invite. Turned out darling! Highly recommend!"
"We were so excited to see these and were more than pleased when we got them. They are perfect for our family since we are all natives to city by the bay. Thank you Tiny Prints for representing our wonderful corner of the world!"
"This classic design address label is perfect and it is of good quality. We purchased this for our infant's stationary...he is set!"

Where is everyone?
Positives, Clark said that senior management would be spending time on talking to investors and doing roadshows, he seems to care about shareholders. Debt is way down! Quantcast #s shows web user #s have bottomed and have been going sideways for two months now and finally, the company has started giving guidance.
Negatives, revs sucked but we knew that this would happen as we moved to mobile, and restructuring cost are never ending!
So, Cook has taken MYB public and dumped quepasa and has moved to the next gen platform, lets hope it works.
Sentiment: Buy
From conf.... David Clark ....
Before discussing our results, I just want to say it's been exciting to be part of the MeetMe team and I look forward to meeting our investors and analysts on the road in the days and weeks to come. We plan on taking steps to make the MeetMe store more visible to the investor community over the next quarters by making management more accessible to both buy side and sell side constituencies through conference attendance and non-deal roadshows.
