An inspection socket includes: a pin block that is configured to support a contact probe in a manner of exposing a tip end of the contact probe from an exposed surface and inclining the contact probe in a predetermined direction relative to a direction perpendicular to the exposed surface; and a pressing portion that is configured to press an inspection target IC package that is to come into contact with the contact probe.

A socket for electrically connecting a first electrical component, the upper surface of which is pressed upon by a pressing member, and a second electrical component which is positioned below the first electrical component, said socket being equipped with: a socket main body which has a placement surface on which the first electrical component is placed; and a holding part which is provided to the socket main body, holds the first electrical component to the socket main body by engaging the first electrical component in a pressed state in which the first electrical component is pressed upon by the pressing member, and releases the engagement with the first electrical component when the pressing member moves a prescribed distance away from the position which corresponds to the pressed state.

A contact socket module for use in an automated test equipment (ATE) for testing electronic components (DUTs) being carried by a carrier comprises: a plurality of groups of spring contacts, wherein each spring contact comprises a DUT sided contact tip, a retracting plate being moveable, and a controller controlling the movement of the retracting plate, wherein the retracting plate and the spring contacts act mechanically on each other. In a first position the DUT sided contact tips are adapted to contact to contact portions of the electronic components, and in a second position, the DUT sided contact tips are adapted to release the contact to the contact portions of the electronic components.

An opening/closing mechanism of a cover member that can easily push down the cover member by the lever member even if the force from the base member side to the cover member is increased, improving the operability of the lever member. A solution is that the lever member 17 is rotatably supported to the base member 23 by the first shaft 31, the link plate 29 is mounted to the lever member 17 by the second shaft 32, the cover member 15 is mounted to the link plate 29 by the third shaft 33, and the link plate 29 is rotated around the axis of the first shaft 31 in the direction in which the lever member 17 closes, so that the link plate 29 moves through the second shaft 32, and the link plate 29 moves, so that the cover member 15 is depressed through the third shaft 33.

A novel electrical box to house one or more ISO micro relays, is adapted to support IP67 and IP69K Ingress Protection ratings. The housing of the electrical box is molded with blade sockets that correspond to blade positions of the ISO micro relay. The housing is also molded with terminal seats and cylindrical openings which vary, depending on the blade socket, enabling terminals of different sizes, orientations, and positions relative to the respective blades, to be easily inserted into the back of the housing. The resulting position of the terminals ensures that electrical connections to the ISO micro relay are made and ingress protection of components inside the electrical box is ensured.

A kitchen appliance, including at least one kitchen appliance base and at least one preparation module is provided. The kitchen appliance base includes at least one electrical interface and at least one receiving region. The preparation module includes at least one electrical counter-interface for electrical contacting with the electrical interface. The electrical interface includes at least two power contacts and at least one auxiliary contact. The electrical counter-interface includes at least two power counter-contacts and at least one auxiliary counter-contact. In the kitchen appliance, the insertion forces for the electrical contacting for the user are reduced, are realized by the power contacts and the power counter-contacts, as well as the auxiliary contact and the auxiliary counter-contact being designed and configured such that the power contacts are electrically contacted with the power counter-contacts at a different point in time than is the auxiliary contact with the auxiliary counter-contact.

A method of transporting at least one energy storage device comprising the step of housing at least one energy storage device in a cassette comprising: a hollow casing for receiving at least one energy storage device; a top cap assembly received at one end of the hollow casing and an end cap assembly received at another end of the hollow casing; electronic circuitry housed within the end cap assembly, the electronic circuitry comprising at least one receptacle associated with each of the at least one energy storage devices, the at least one receptacle being reversibly mateable with at least one plug associated with an external device such that the cassette is received by the external in a first orientation and a second orientation; and electrically isolating the at least one energy storage devices from each other by individually coupling the at least one energy storage device to the electronic circuitry.

To guarantee positioning of an elastic pin during manufacturing without using a guide member, and to prevent contamination from a guide member in a final product. An electronic device inspection socket having a plurality of elastic pins each having the center portion embedded in, and having respective ends projecting from, an insulator which changes, through solidification, from a fluid state to a solid but deformable state, wherein the leading ends of the elastic pins are portions received by a plurality of recesses provided to a device for manufacturing the electronic device inspection socket, and the insulator is a portion formed after being injected in a fluid state between said respective ends in a state where said respective ends are received in the recesses and being solidified.
