| 20090142953 | Low profile modular electrical connectors and systems - Power connector modules are provided that can be plug connectors, receptacle connectors, or a system of plug and receptacle connector modules and optionally other modules, that mate together. Each connector has an uncoupled contact feature. The uncoupled contacts have exposed surfaces to dissipate heat resulting from Joule effects. The uncoupled contacts for the plug connector converge to form a blade structure at one side. The uncoupled contacts for the receptacle connector form a receiving section that engages the blade structure of the plug connector when the plug connector and receptacle connector are used together. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20100041266 | POWER CONNECTOR WITH INTEGRATED SIGNAL CONNECTOR - A connector is provided that is suitable for connection to another connector. The connector can be a plug connector or a receptacle connector. The connector has a power contact and a signal contact. The signal contact may be provided by a modular housing that can be inserted into the connector housing. The signal contact can be wired separately into the modular housing and then the modular housing can be is inserted into the connector housing. A terminal position assurance member can then be used to secure the modular housing and power contact. An assembly of both the plug connector and the receptacle connector can be provided. | 02-18-2010 |
| 20100108341 | Battery pack, charger and terminal block arrangements for cordless power tool system - A battery pack, charger, and terminal blocks for the pack, charger and a cordless power tool are provided. The pack includes battery cells disposed between end caps within a bottom housing of the pack, and a potting boat for housing pack electronics electrically connected to the cells between the end caps and disposed within a pack top housing. A pack terminal block is connected to the potting boat within the top housing. The charger and the power tool each include a terminal block for providing electrical connections between the charger/tool and the battery pack. The terminal block is configured to float side-to-side to provide displaceable movement of the terminal block within the charger housing or tool housing for aligning the battery pack terminal block therein. | 05-06-2010 |
