Abstract: Plug connector modules (22) are ganged together side-by-side by a pair of integral spring latch members (70) secured along commoned end surfaces (42) of the modules (22) to comprise a plug connector assembly (20) manipulatable as a unit. Integral spring latch members (70) include discrete securing sections (76) securable to axial key members (50) within modules (22) near end surfaces (42). Forward ends (84) of spring latch members (70) include latching recesses (100) to latch to latching projections (152) of a receptacle connector (150), latching plug assembly (20) to receptacle connector (150) in mated engagement. Gripping sections (110) of spring latch members (70) are deflectable toward each other about fulcrum sections (112) which action deflects free ends (84) outwardly and disengages latching recesses (100) from latching projections (152) to delatch assembly (20) from receptacle connector (150) for unmating thereof. Spring latch members (70) may be removable from plug connector modules (22) for repair. Latching projections (152) and latching recesses (100) are especially adapted to continuously engage each other to resist effects of vibration, and to resist inadvertent delatching.

Abstract: A receptacle connector (10) has a plurality of plug-receiving cavities (24) defined along major sides by either outer major walls (36,38) of the receptacle hood (20) or by lengths of polarizing walls (28) parallel thereto, and along minor sides or ends thereof by minor walls (42) of the hood (20). Individual plug connector modules (100) such as single-row modules (100) receivable into the cavities (24) each include along one major side (124) thereof an elongate polarizing recess (128) to receive a polarizing wall (28). One outer major wall (38) of the hood (20) includes an elongate inward boss (44) shaped to act as a polarizing wall portion (144) from an end module, and the plug connector modules (100) when ganged together (210) will enter the receptacle section defined by the hood (20) only when in a proper polarized orientation. Key members (50) at each end of each cavity (24) correspond to key members (50 ) at each end of each plug connector module (100) to permit mating of a module (100) in the cavity (24) only when the opposing keys (50,50) are in proper keying relationship to each other. The polarizing and keying system practically eliminates mating of ganged plug connector modules with an undesired receptacle connector in an array of similar receptacle connectors, in a manner minimizing stress on the key members and their retention mechanisms.

Abstract: An electrical connector comprises an insulating housing having a contact receiving cavity extending therethrough from the wire entry face to the mating face. A contact terminal contained in the cavity has a wire connecting portion at its rearward end comprising a hollow cylindrical section of the terminal. A ferrule crimped or soldered to the end of a wire is received in this cylindrical wire connecting portion of the terminal. The ferrule is retained in position by a retaining spring on the terminal which has an integral shoulder or lance that bears against the ferrule. The ferrule can be readily removed from the terminal by flexing the spring radially outwardly and disengaging the lance from the ferrule. A wire can be fitted with a replacement ferrule by the use of readily available tools if repair of the connector is required.

Abstract: An integral shell (150) for connectors (102,132) mounted to an edge of a circuit card (100,130). The connectors are secured in cavities (152) of the shell, and the cavities are precisely referenced to a single datum defined by an alignment or datum post (160). A corresponding alignment hole (162) of the circuit card is precisely positioned with reference to the arrays of termini of the circuits, and upon mounting of the shell to the card with the datum post (160) received in the alignment hole (162), the contact sections of the terminals of the several connectors (102,132) remain precisely aligned with the termini and their terminations protected against stress during handling, mating and unmating.

Abstract: An LRM connector is joined to printed circuit boards and secured to cover plates of the LRM at an end thereof to be mated with mother board connector mounted within a black box. The LRM connector is float mounted within cover plates on said LRM and aligns itself with the mother board connector when the LRM is inserted into the black box while maintaining sealing engagement with the cover plates. A metal shroud of the LRM connector provides EMI shielding and engagement with the metal shroud of the mother board connector even if the two metal shrouds are slightly misaligned with respect to each other. A method for assembly includes forming separate contact subassemblies having dielectric material molded around body sections; rearward contact sections on free ends of elongated cantilever beams remain joined to carrier strips until being soldered to conductive pads of the VHSIC circuit cards; then the carrier strips are broken off.

Abstract: An electrical connection of a terminal contact to an electrical conductor is crimped by applying compressive force to the right and left sides of the barrel of the contact but not at the center and not applying it directly toward the center, thus forming an "oblique" crimp. Such an oblique crimp can be formed using a punch die and an opposing anvil die each having a crimping surface with a central recessed relief area whereby the crimping surface does not compress the center of the contact barrel. On each side of the relief area is a substantial diagonal portion of the crimping surface, and outward therefrom is a transverse shoulder, both of which engage the contact barrel during crimping. This crimping is especially useful for contacts having closed or seamless barrel walls and also especially for crimping a slightly oversized barrel to a many-stranded conductor without an intermediate sleeve, and it is particularly useful where confined crimping is required. The use of only two opposing dies more economically and efficiently enables fully automated feeding and terminating procedure; the dies can also be used in a manual crimping tool.
