WITH CIRCUIT COMPONENT OR COMPRISING CONNECTOR WHICH FULLYENCLOSES CIRCUIT COMPONENT:
(under the class definition) Electrical connector either (a) combined with a functioning electrical circuit device; or (b) comprising a holder, casing, or housing adapted to substantially completely surround an unclaimed functioning electrical circuit device, which holder, casing, or housing further carrying at least one contact* for electrically engaging a contact of the circuit device.
(1) Note. The following "functioning electrical circuit devices" are specifically excluded from this and the indented subclasses since, for the most part, they are provided for elsewhere within this class (439): energy cells or batteries (both the dry cell and storage types), spark plugs of the type designed for internal combination engines, lamps, vacuum
tubes, interference filters of the type combined or used with contacts of inductively or capacitively shielded connectors, and a power measuring meter coupling part.
(2) Note. Some examples of "functioning electrical circuit devices" which may be included herein are: fuses, resistors (including resistive heating elements), capacitors, inductors or coils, transformers, relays, switches, transistors, solid-state diodes or rectifiers, transducers (such as earphones, microphones, piezoelectric devices, photocells, etc.), and measuring or detection devices (such as meters, strain gauges, and seismometers).
