Abstract
A reduced-noise relay has an inside housing and an outside housing. Inside terminals are connected to outside terminals via stranded conductors. An additional intermediate cap of elastomer is plugged over the inside housing with the stranded conductors in the interspace between the inside housing and the outside housing. Together with a damping frame and a damping plate, the intermediate cap effects a sound decoupling of the relay from the outside.
Claims15
A reduced-sound relay, comprising:
- an inside housing from which inside terminals emerge through an inside terminal side at an upper portion of the inside housing;
- an outside housing from which outside terminals emerge through an outside terminal side at a bottom portion of the inside housing and opposite the inside terminal side;
- flexible connecting conductors that extend between the respective sidewalls of the inside housing and of the outside housing and connect the inside terminals to the respectively corresponding outside terminals;
- and
- an intermediate cap of elastic plastic plugged over the inside housing and the connecting conductors, said cap, together with the connecting conductors, separating the inside housing from the outside housing on all sides.
The relay according to claim I wherein the outside housing comprises an outside cap and a base, and the outside terminals are held in the base.
A reduced-sound relay comprising:
- an inside housing from which inside terminals emerge through an inside terminal side;
- an outside housing from which outside terminals emerge through an outside terminal side;
- flexible connecting conductors that extend between the respective sidewalls of the inside housing and of the outside housing and connect the inside terminals to the respectively corresponding outside terminals;
- and
- an intermediate cap of plastic plugged over the inside housing and the connecting conductors, said cap separating the inside housing from the outside housing at a top and lateral sides of the inside housing.
