An electrical connector housing (12) includes a deformable contact retention plate (30) for accommodating the tails (48) of electrical contacts (14). Contact tails are supported within slots (40) in the retention plate both at a closed end of the slot as well as at an intermediate location therealong. The contact retention plate (30) may be deformed about the contacts so as to captively retain the contact tails (48) within the slots. Such deformation may be achieved by ultrasonically swaging the plastic forming the contact retention plate (30) about the contact tails (48).

An electrical connector provides for the termination of discrete conductors of a multi-conductor cable. The connector includes a connector housing which supports a plurality of electrical contacts. The contacts include insulation displacing contact portions. The insulation displacing contact portions are arranged in longitudinally and vertically spaced rows within the connector housing. A conductor holding block is movably supported by the housing with respect to the insulation displacing contact portions. The conductor holding block includes contact slots which are longitudinally and vertically spaced for receipt of the insulation displacing contact portions. The holding block further includes vertically spaced rows of conductor receiving passages in communication with the contact slots for receipt of the conductors in a pair of conductor rows. The connector further includes a conductive shield positioned between the vertically spaced rows of terminated conductors so as to shield the terminations of one row of conductors from the conductors of the other row.

An electrical data connector includes cable strain relief for accommodating a cable of at least two differing diameters. A cable strain relief assembly frictionally secures either of the cables therein. The strain relief assembly includes a strain relief body including first and second cable channels for permitting accommodation alternatively of one of the at least two cables. A channel filler block is insertable into the first channel to render the first channel cable inaccessible and render exclusively the second channel accessible to cable passage. A strain relief plug works in cooperation with said strain relief body to secure the cable supported either in the first or second channel in strain relief fashion.

A terminal for processing a shielding wire (50) end, and more particularly a terminal for connecting a drain wire (51) (for grounding) of the shielding wire to a grounding wire (60) member us disclosed. A plurality of terminals each comprising a terminal body, a pair of press-contact members (11, 12) formed by inwardly bending opposite sides of the body and a tongue (13) projecting from a center of the body are fixed on a film-shaped carrier (20) with the press-contact members of the respective terminals being aligned in a line at a constant pitch.

An electrical connector component assembly (10) provides for shielding as between components of the connector. An electrically conductive outer housing (12) includes a plurality of discrete bounded compartments (30). A plurality of electrically insulative terminal support elements (14,16) are supported individually in the bounded compartments. Plural electrical contacts (18,20) are supported in at least one of the support elements. The electrical contacts supported in the one support element are electrically shielded from the components of the other support element by the bounded compartments.
摘要:
A method for making an electrical connector (10) comprises the steps of configuring a housing (12) and contact members (16) such that the contact members may assume positions in the housing (12) which are variable for each contact member and of assembling the contact members in the housing such that they assume positions therein giving rise to contact member coplanarity. An electrical connector (10) so made comprises a housing (12) defining contact member receiving channels (14) and contact members (16) resident in the channels (14), the contact members defining contact portions (16a,16c) and contact member retaining means, the housing being configured to permit variable positioning of said contact member retaining means therein, whereby contact member contact portions may be coplanarly positioned irrespective of warp present in the housing.

An arrangement is provided for electrically connecting a rotatable current contact to a stationary voltage, such as used in the connection of an airbag in an automobile steering wheel. The arrangement comprises an insulated electric line which extends between the current contact on one side and a voltage, current or signal source on the other side and which is coiled around a rotary shaft member. The electric line is in the form of a helical spring, the spring being disposed on an inner housing portion which is positioned on the rotary shaft member and is non-rotatably connected thereto. An outer stationary housing portion encloses the inner rotatable housing portion with the helical spring being situated between the two housing portions.

An electrical connector (10) provides for selective shunting as between contacts of the connector. The connector includes a pair of vertically aligned electrical contacts (18, 20) supported within an electrically insulative housing (14). The housing (14) is configured for mating engagement with a like housing for hermaphroditic interconnection. The upper contact of the pair includes a depending deflectable shunt member (18d) and the lower contact of the pair includes a shunt member engagement element for electrically shunting the pair of contacts. The shunt member is deflectable away from the shunt member engagement element upon the mating engagement of the housing with the like housing.
