50 Reusable vibration resistant integrated circuit mounting socket US136069 1993-10-14 US5445532A 1995-08-29 Craig N. Evans
This invention discloses a novel form of socket for integrated circuits to be mounted on printed circuit boards. The socket uses a novel contact which is fabricated out of a bimetallic strip with a shape which makes the end of the strip move laterally as temperature changes. The end of the strip forms a barb which digs into an integrated circuit lead at normal temperatures and holds it firmly in the contact, preventing loosening and open circuits from vibration. By cooling the contact containing the bimetallic strip the barb end can be made to release so that the integrated circuit lead can be removed from the socket without damage either to the lead or to the socket components.
51 Over-current/over-temperature protection device US133187 1993-10-19 US5438309A 1995-08-01 John F. Krumme
An over-current/over-temperature protection device (1) which includes first and second electrical contacts (2,3), a separable resistance electrical current path (4) extending between the contacts, a breaker (6) and a heater. The heater comprises the separable path (4). The breaker breaks an electrical connection between at least one of the contacts and the separable path when current above a threshold value passes through the separable path and/or the over-current/over-temperature protection device reaches a threshold temperature. The breaker (6) includes a member of a shape memory alloy which changes shape from a first configuration to a second configuration when the member is heated from a first temperature T.sub.1 to a second temperature T.sub.2. The heater heats the member from the first temperature T.sub.1 to the second temperature T.sub.2 so that the member changes from the first configuration to the second configuration. The device can optionally include a permanent resistance electrical current path (5) having a resistance higher than the separable path (4). The device can also include a button (110) for resetting the device or a control circuit for remotely completing or breaking the electrical connection between the separable path and the contacts.
52 Method of field replacement of an electrical connector for nuclear reactor instrumentation US74125 1993-06-08 US5301213A 1994-04-05 Michael J. Linden; Brian D. Williamson
The method of repairing in situ a damaged or malfunctioning electrical connector (10) of a safety related nuclear reactor instrument (14) and its associated sheathed cable (18) wherein the damaged or malfunctioning connector portion (20) is cut from its associated cable (18) and replaced by a new connector portion. The wires of the cut cable are connected with the replacement connector portion and are suitably insulated. The cut cable and new connector portion are then secured together by a special alloy coupling (34) which is positioned in spanning relation with the cut cable (18) and the replacement connector portion (20). This special alloy has the property that it can be expanded within limits and upon being heated above a critical temperature will return to its original dimension. The tubular coupling accordingly has an expanded diameter slightly larger than that of the replacement connector portion and the sheath of the cut cable but an original inner diameter slightly smaller. When positioned in its spanning relation with these members it is heated above its critical temperature such that it shrinks to its original shape and securely grips these members. This special alloy coupling has both circumferential and axial ridges or barbs extending inward of its inner surface to engage each of the members extending thereinto when it is shrunk into place in order to enhance the sealing and torque resistance capability of the connection.

56 Shape-memory metal core electrical contactor US542561 1990-06-25 US5051097A 1991-09-24 Robert S. Miles; Gustav A. Schmidt
A three dimensional stack of printed circuit assemblies (10,12) provides electrical interconnection or bussing between layers of the stack by means of a composite contactor (34, 35, 36, 77, 79, 81, 83) formed of a shape-memory core (90) having a number of highly electrically conductive resilient wires (92, 94) wrapped around it. The shape-memory core (90) has a low temperature configuration that is substantially straight and enables the contactor assembly or core (90) and wires (92, 94) to be inserted into vias (30, 31, 76, 78, 80, 82) extending through this stack of layers with little or no insertion force. When heated above its phase change temperature, the shape-memory core (90) assumes a sinuous configuration which tightly presses the encircling conductive wires (92, 94) against the electrically conductive interior surfaces of the vias (30, 31) to provide mechanical and electrical contact from layer to layer.
57 Reinforced connection for a electronic circuit members and method for constructing therefor US294983 1989-01-06 US4969835A 1990-11-13 Kenzo Kobayashi; Hideto Tachibana
For electronic circuit members including a high density fine pattern electrode and a flexible printed circuit, a reinforced connecting part includes a reinforcing fastener which is a substantially cylindrical section shaped element having edges defining an axial slit clamping the circuit members. The reinforcing fastener is formed of an alloy having both superelastic and shape memory characteristics at a temperature above the Martensite transformation temperature of the alloy. The alloy is brought to a temperature above the Martensite transformation temperature after the slit is opened at a temperature below the Martensite temperature of the alloy and the electronic circuit members are attached via the slit. The circuit members can thus be fastened with a substantially constant force over time due to the superelastic and shape memory characteristics of the alloy.
