Abstract:
A single element electrical connector includes a single conductive contact element formed into a cage structure having a wire insert end and a wire contact end along a longitudinal centerline axis of the connector. The cage structure defines an upper pick-up surface having a surface area suitable for placement of a suction nozzle of a vacuum transfer device, as well as a pair of contact tines biased towards the centerline axis to define a contact pinch point for an exposed core of a wire inserted into the connector. A contact surface is defined by a member of the cage structure for electrical mating contact with a respective contact element on a component on which the connector is mounted.

Abstract:
An electrical connector assembly for mounting to contact pads on a printed circuit board (PCP) includes a carrier plate. A first connector component and a second connector component are attached to the carrier plate. The first and second connector components are spaced apart on the carrier plate a distance corresponding to spacing of the contact pads on the PCB. A frangible connection is defined between each of the first and second connector components and the carrier plate such that after mounting the connector assembly to the PCB, the carrier plate is detached from the first and second connector components.
