A safety apparatus is a terminal shield having an indication circuit incorporated therein. The safety apparatus is usable with a circuit interrupter to overlie one or more terminals of the circuit interrupter that are connected with line and load conductors and to thereby form a circuit interrupter apparatus. The safety apparatus can be employed at the line side of a circuit interrupter, at the load side of a circuit interrupter, or at both sides of a circuit interrupter. The safety apparatus can be provided as part of a new circuit interrupter apparatus or can be provided to retrofit existing circuit interrupters. The indication circuit advantageously outputs from a top surface of the terminal shield one of a visual indication and an audible indication when one or more terminals of the circuit interrupter are electrified, thereby easily conveying to a technician the portions of the circuit interrupter that are electrified.

A battery pack assembly includes at least one battery cell and a terminal connector mechanism. The at least one battery cell has at least one terminal which includes a terminal engagement portion. The terminal connector mechanism has a retention member and a biasing member. The retention member has retention portion and is configured to move between an engaged position and a disengaged position. The biasing member is positioned between the housing and the retention member to bias the retention member towards the engaged position. In the engaged position, the retention portion of the retention member engages with the terminal engagement portion to inhibit movement of the terminal connector mechanism. In the disengaged position, the retention portion of the retention member is disengaged from the terminal engagement portion to permit movement of the terminal connector mechanism.

A system for wirelessly obtaining physiological data from a subject includes a sensor patch and a separate electronics package. The sensor patch is disposed on and adheres to the subject, and includes a first part of a releasable electrical connector. An electronics package includes a second part of the first releasable electrical connector, which is used to physically and electrically connect the electronics package to the sensor patch. The electronics package includes a flexible substrate, with shells set on this substrate. The shells enclose the electronics. The shells are connected by a flexible circuit board. Analog front end circuitry is placed in one shell, while the wireless transceiver is placed in the other shell.

An electrical connector including a substrate, a pitch transformation routing assembly formed on the substrate and including pitch transformation routing members, a first set of contact members where each contact member extends away from a first end of a corresponding pitch transformation routing member, and a second set of contact members where each contact member extends away from a second end of a corresponding pitch transformation routing member. Each pitch transformation routing member includes multiple routing sections, where each routing section extends in the first direction or the second direction. In a first subset of the pitch transformation routing members, the pitch transformation routing members have routing sections with different dimensions in the first direction and the second direction.

A single-pair Ethernet device comprises a first input contact and a second input contact, which are configured for electrically contacting a single-pair Ethernet input conductor pair, further comprises a first output contact and a second output contact, which are configured for electrically contacting a single-pair Ethernet output conductor pair, comprises a first conduction path, which in at least one operation state electrically conductively connects the first input contact to the first output contact, and comprises a second conduction path, which in the operation state electrically conductively connects the second input contact to the second output contact.

A connector for use in a free-standing connector port for mating with an external pluggable module is disclosed. The connector has terminals that extend lengthwise of the connector so that cables may be terminated to the terminals and the terminals and cable generally are horizontally aligned together. The connector defines a card-receiving slot and is position in a cage that defines the connector port. The cables exit from the rear of the connector and from the connector port. The connector includes a heat sink that is configured to cool a module inserted into the connector port.

An electrical contact suitable for use within data connectivity applications in which both power and data are conveyed over the same pair of conductors is configured with a staggered profile geometry that isolates the location of high-current disconnects while maintaining a surface that remains free of electrical arcing and erosion. The electrical contact is designed with two points of contact, and the staggered geometry ensures that only one of the two points of contact is exposed to electrical arcing when the connector is disconnected while under power, thereby protecting the other point of contact from arc-related surface damage.

An electric connector comprises a contact, a base assembly, a pair of first circuit board sections, and a plurality of electric components. The base assembly has a connector face on a first side and an interior side opposite to the connector face. The contact is disposed on the connector face. The pair of first circuit board sections are disposed on the interior side and extend away from the base assembly. The pair of first circuit board sections face each other. At least one electric component is disposed on each of the first circuit board sections.
