Filed:

Jul 2, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/167191

Inventors:

Dennis Pearson - Foothill Ranch CA, US
Terry Horwitz - Garden Grove CA, US

Assignee:

Tempo Industries, Inc. - Irvine CA

International Classification:

H01R 4/24

US Classification:

439423

Abstract:

A smaller conductor having an uninsulated portion and an insulated portion is positioned adjacent a larger conductor having an insulated portion and a conductive portion located within the insulated portion of the larger conductor. The two conductors are joined by a discontinuous metal band having respective ends extending across a top portion of the insulated portion of the larger conductor to make electrical contact with the uninsulated portion of the smaller conductor, then bending downward on one side of the conductor pair and then upward and through the insulated portion of the larger conductor such that a first of the ends of the metal band is positioned in contact with the conductive portion of the larger conductor; the metal band bending downward on the opposite side of the conductor pair and then upward and through the insulated portion of the larger conductor such that a second of the ends of the metal band is positioned in contact with the conductive portion of the larger conductor.

Appl. No.:

12/722440

Inventors:

Dennis Pearson - Foothill Ranch CA, US
Guang Jin - Santa Monica CA, US

International Classification:

H01R 4/66

US Classification:

439101, 43960705

Abstract:

An electrical connector which facilitates electrical interconnection of adjacent lighting fixtures and includes a female connector half and male connector half, each having first and second horizontally disposed passageways formed therein. The male connector half further has a male ground pin positioned to mate with a female ground slot formed in the female connector half. A female insert is positioned in each of the passageways of the female connector half and has an interior shaped and dimensioned to receive and retain a male electrical connector pin while a male insert is positioned in each passageway of the male connector half and has an interior shaped and dimensioned to receive and retain a female electrical connector pin. The connector and ground pins are so positioned that a ground connection is established prior to the establishment of electrical continuity between the connector pins when the male connector half is “plugged into” the female connector half.
