Abstract
An attenuator relay including encapsulation apparatus having an interior for enclosing an electro-mechanical relay and circuitry; an electro-mechanical relay having a number of contacts, the relay providing apparatus for closing a first circuit to allow current flow therethrough in a first condition, and apparatus for closing a second circuit to allow current flow therethrough in a second condition; and an attenuator circuit connected in the first circuit and enclosed within the encapsulating apparatus.
Claims13
An attenuator relay comprising a standard enclosure for encapsulating a miniature electro-mechanical relay and circuitry;
- a miniature electro-mechanical relay having a number of contacts, the relay providing means for closing a first circuit to allow current flow therethrough in a first condition;
- and means for closing a second circuit to allow current flow therethrough in a second condition;
- and an attenuator circuit connected in the first circuit and enclosed within the enclosure.
A electro-mechanical relay circuit for providing an attenuated input signal to a first circuit or an input signal without attenuation to a second circuit, the relay circuit comprising:
- an encapsulating container for a miniature relay;
- a miniature electro-mechanical relay positioned within the container and having first and second contacts each connected to provide a conductive path to the exterior of the container,
- the relay including mans for placing the first and second contacts in first positions in which the first and second contacts are conductively joined to one another and in second positions;
- and circuit means connected within the container between the second positions of the first and second conductive contacts for attenuating the electrical signals transferred therebetween.
