International Classification:

H05K 706

US Classification:

439 76

Abstract:

An electrical distribution center electrically interconnects electrical and electronic devices and electrical connectors of wiring harnesses. The electrical distribution center comprises a main bus plate that includes a plurality of stamped metal circuit components that are insert molded in an insulation board. The stamped metal circuit components have a plurality of male blade terminals that project outwardly of the insulation board and that include wire receiving slots. The main bus plate is sandwiched between upper and lower bus plates that each include a plurality of wire circuit components in an insulated routing board that has slots extending through it. The male blade terminals of the main bus plate project through the slots of the upper and lower bus plates for connection with the electrical and electronic components and the electrical connectors of the wiring harnesses. The wire receiving slots of selected male blade terminals receive the wire circuit components of the upper and lower bus plates as the selected male blade terminals pass through the slots to provide bussing between various male blade terminals.

International Classification:

H01R 426

US Classification:

174138G

Abstract:

A first electrical insulation substrate having a pin and a second electrical insulation substrate having a hole formed therethrough for receiving the pin is provided. The pin is designed to control and limit the flow of the pin material to an upper portion of the pin during a cold forming process to avoid cracking the pin. This is accomplished by making a lower portion of the pin resistant to flow and the upper portion of the pin susceptible to flow. The lower portion of the pin may have a greater cross sectional area than the upper portion thus making the lower portion resistant to flow and the upper portion of the pin susceptible to flow.

International Classification:

H02B 126

US Classification:

361624

Abstract:

The invention includes an electrical distribution center for including a two-piece main insulation assembly, Stamped male blade or tuning fork terminals are press-fit between the two-piece main insulation assembly, The upper half of the two-piece insulation assembly has a top surface including a plurality of terminal stations and guide stations that are raised and separated from each other so as to provide a network of wire channels that communicate with wire passages, The terminal stations have terminal slots that extend through the upper half of the main insulation assembly to intersect the wire passages, The bottom surface of the lower half of the two-piece insulation assembly is configured in a similar fashion as the top base of the upper portion of the two-piece insulation assembly,.
