Abstract:
A tool for the installation of flanged tubular type wire clamp terminal clips over a wire lead and post terminal includes a plurality of finger members pivotally mounted about a hollow central push rod such that they close radially toward the rod on the application of axial pressure. Means for applying axial pressure is provided whereby a flanged tubular type wire clamp terminal clip is gripped between the fingers and push rod. As pressure is increased the fingers and rod exert opposing axial forces on the terminal clip sufficient to deform the cylindrical clip wall inwardly thereby securing the wire to the terminal. In an alternative embodiment a solid central push rod is employed to effect removal of the terminal clips.
Abstract:
A semiconductor microphone includes a strip, on which a transistor is formed, mounted within the microphone case and coupled to a diaphragm by a rod. The strip, clamped to a member movably mounted within the case, is urged against the rod so as to flex the strip and stress a junction of the transistor. The diaphragm, in response to acoustical forces, moves the rod, modulating the stress on the transistor junction.
