Abstract
Various high voltage systems may benefit from a suitable relay system. For example, a relay box may be provided with a shock and vibration resistant arrangement including a sealed coil box within the sealed relay box. For example, an apparatus can include a coil box containing coils, inside pole pieces, and permanent magnets, wherein the coils, inside pole pieces, and permanent magnets can be configured to actuate an armature assembly external to the coil box. The apparatus can also include outside pole pieces configured to move a relay armature of the armature assembly responsive to energizing of the coils. Moving the relay armature can include overcoming a latching of at least one of the permanent magnets.
Claims12
An apparatus, comprising:
- a sintered metal getter;
- a heating element configured to heat the sintered metal getter;
- an enclosure surrounding the sintered metal getter and the heating element,
- wherein the enclosure comprises a stainless steel mesh configured to permit the entry of gas and configured to prohibit the release of fragments of the sintered metal getter;
- and
- a first ring assembly, said first ring assembly braze sealed to a first end of the stainless steel mesh, wherein the first ring assembly is configured to provide for a seamless laser weld of a stainless steel plug with two feed through holes configured to permit passage of electrical contacts from a first end of the first ring assembly to the heating element.
