Inductive energy supply unit

Abstract: Device for supplying electrical energy and/or supplying data to an electronic module, comprising an emitting coil (20) that has a coil axis and at least two energy receiving parts (34, 35) that are arranged side by side and have receiving coils (31, 32), the coil axes of which run in the same direction or run parallel to the emitting coil axis. Each of the coils (20, 31, 32) is integrated in resonance circuits. The energy receiving parts (34, 35) supply electronics (41, 42) and, together with same, are galvanically separated from one another by an insulating area of separation (33) which is bridged by a data signal coupling line (46).

Connecting terminal e.g. print terminal, for use in printed circuit board, has spring force unit with leg spring punched out and molded from material strip for clamping electrical conductor and fastened in openings

Abstract: The terminal has a pusher part with a conductor inserting opening for inserting an electrical conductor (18) and made of plastic A spring force unit (23) has a leg spring punched out and molded from a material strip for clamping the electrical conductor The spring force unit with a leaf-spring pack (32) is fastened in openings by bars of a contact insert (27) An insulating material housing has an insertion opening for insertion of the contact insert

Assembly of a plug connector part comprising a holder frame for receiving modular contact inserts

Abstract: An assembly of a plug connector part comprises a holder frame (1) for receiving at least one modular contact insert (2), wherein the holder frame (1) surrounds an opening (100) in which at least one contact insert (20) can be inserted, and a housing part (3) which has a receiving opening (300) in which the holder frame (1) can be inserted in an insertion direction (E) and a support segment (305) on which the holder frame (1) is supported in an inserted position in the receiving opening (300). According to the invention, the housing part (3) has a locking opening (30) and the holder frame (1) has a locking unit (4) for locking the holder frame (1) to the housing part (3) in the inserted position, wherein the locking unit (4) has a locking element (41) which, in a locked position, interlockingly engages in the locking opening (30) of the housing part (3). In this way, an assembly of a plug connector part is provided, which can facilitate the connection of a holder frame to a housing part.

Number of lightning strikes to tall structures - comparison of calculations and measurements using a modern lighting monitoring system

Abstract: Using a state-of-the-art lightning monitoring system LM-S with lightning detection sensors based on the Faraday effect the lightning currents caused by direct strikes to different buildings can be analyzed. The lightning monitoring system measures different current parameters, e.g. amplitude, charge, specific energy, time of strike. The measured data are compared with the expected number of strikes calculated based mainly on the international standard for risk management IEC 62305-2 Ed.2:2010 [1].

Support system for a support rail

Abstract: A support system for a support rail includes at least one clamping frame and at least one block-type fastening element. The at least one block-type fastening element is disposed on and fastened to a top surface of the support rail and is mounted in the at least one clamping frame.
