Abstract:
A stacked arrangement of metal oxide varistors includes a plurality of metal oxide varistors with each metal oxide varistor of the plurality of metal oxide varistors having a first lead on a first surface and a second lead on a second surface, the first surface and the second surface being opposite facing surfaces of each metal oxide varistor. The first lead and the second lead of adjacent metal oxide varistors, when placed in a stacked arrangement, are arranged, preferably asymmetrically, and having the same voltages so as not to interfere with one another, thereby result in a more compact stacking of metal oxide varistors, as compared to arrangements known to the state of the art. The stacked arrangement of metal oxide varistor can be mounted on printed circuit boards, in addition to a variety of other uses.
Abstract:
An exemplary bridging inter-connector establishes electrical connections between conductors on a PCB and aligned conductors on a first board mounted to the PCB. A flexible non-conductive sheet covers at least a portion of these conductors. Separated conductive strips on the sheet that are dimensioned to align with and engage at least a portion of both the aligned conductors. A thin film of a bonding agent is disposed on the separated conductive strips and located to engage at least a portion of both aligned conductors to form a conductive connection.
Abstract:
A dielectric substrate has a first surface including a first terminal joint and a second terminal joint arranged along a first side surface. A first lead terminal is bonded to the first terminal joint with a bond. A second lead terminal is bonded to the second terminal joint with a bond. The first lead terminal includes a first base bonded to the first terminal joint and a first lead extending from the first base. The second lead terminal includes a second base bonded to the second terminal joint and a second lead extending from the second base. The first lead terminal includes the first base having a larger thickness than the first lead.
