摘要:
An electrical contact for use in a connector between mutually opposed electrical interfaces comprises a generally planar contact body having first and second major faces. The body includes a pair of spaced apart spring arms connected by a resilient bight. The spring arms have respective free ends each with an outwardly facing edge which defines a contact nose engageable with a respective one of the interfaces. Respective shorting sections extend from each of the free ends generally toward each other. The shorting sections are offset from each other such that the first major face of one shorting section is coplanar with the second major face of the other shorting section. Upon deflection of the spring arms relatively closer together, the coplanar major faces of the shorting sections come into mutual engagement, whereby a shortened electrical path is formed between the contact noses.

An integrated circuit chip module assembly (10) is disclosed that electrically interconnects the bond pads of the various integrated circuit chips (20) in the module to circuitry (42) on a thin film multilayer membrane (22). The module assembly includes a heat sink (16) with the back surfaces of the chips (20) in thermal engagement therewith. Contacts (40) of the bond pads of the chips (20) are in electrical engagement with the circuitry (42) on the membrane (22) and are accurately positioned by means of nests (28) formed on the surface of the membrane (22). A contact pressure equalizer (12) engages only selected areas (98) of the membrane (22) opposite the contacts (40) of the chips (20) to urge the contact surfaces (44) on the membrane (22) into electrical engagement with raised contacts (40). The contact pressure equalizer (12) includes a relatively large pressure plate (70) having a layer (74) of relatively soft rubber thereon. A plurality of rigid plates (78) are positioned on the soft rubber layer (74) so that each plate is opposite a respective chip (20). A narrow strip (88) of relatively hard rubber is positioned on each of the rigid plates (78) so that the hard rubber strips engage only the selected areas (98) of the membrane (22). The heat sink (16) and the pressure plate (70) are then bolted together with the chips (20), the hard rubber strips (88), the rigid plates (78), and the soft rubber layer (74) sandwiched in between.
摘要:
An anchor pin, for anchoring one component upon another, such as an electrical connector upon a printed circuit board, by way of a passage defined by a mounting hole in one of the components that is substantially aligned with an opening in the other component. The anchor pin having a first form with a volume larger than the volume defined by the passage while being receivable within the passage and a second form in response to an external energy input, whereby the anchor pin within the passage becomes fluid deforming to substantially fill the passage, automatically accommodating any misalignment, and overflowing therefrom to form opposing heads. The mounting pin hardens in this form to anchor the components together.

摘要:
An electrical connector assembly having a metal or metallized plastic housing block (10) with contact members (26) contained within channels (12) in the block (10). The metallic housing block (10) provides a shield to eliminate cross-talk between the contact members (26). The contact members (26) are directly coated with a dielectric material, except where they perform an electrical contact function, to insulate them from the metallic housing block (10).
摘要:
An electrical connector for connecting a first printed circuit board to a second printed circuit board has terminal contacts which provide a reliable electrical connection. The contact terminals are positioned adjacent to a board receiving recess, and are configured to make an electrical connection with the second printed circuit board when the second printed circuit board is rotated to a second position. Overstress members, provided on the contact terminals, prevent the contact terminals from being deformed as the second printed circuit board is moved relative to the contact terminals. The overstress members are also configured to provide a reliable and relatively short pathway over which the electrial signals may travel between the boards.

An electronic component (16, 18) having contact pads (20) is surface mounted to a circuit board (27) by means of electrical terminals (1) each comprising a head (2) having a flat, contact pad engaging, face (6) and a shank (4), which may be in form of a compliant pin, extending normally of the pad engaging face (6). Each pad engaging surface (6) has a gold covering provided by electroplating or by inlaying. The circuit board (27) has metal lined through holes (30) in the same pattern as the pads (20) of the electronic component (16, 18). The shank (4) of each terminal (1) is inserted into the metal lining (36) of a respective hole (30) in the circuit board (27) so that the head (2) of the terminal (1) lies against a land (38) of one of the linings (36), after which the electronic component (16, 18) is seated on the circuit board (27) with each contact pad (20) of the electronic component (16, 18) in engagement with the gold covered face (6) a respective terminal (1). Another embodiment of the invention includes an array (50) of contacts interposed between the components (16, 17) and the circuit board (27) so that the contacts (52) are electrically in between the pads (20) and the respective gold covered faces (6).
摘要:
A chip carrier socket (2, 102) has a latching chip (30, 130) which extends across a recess (10, 110) of the chip carrier socket (2, 102) to maintain a chip carrier (22, 122) positioned in the recess (10, 110). The latching chip (30, 130) is mounted to the chip carrier socket (2, 102) in a manner which allows the latching chip (30, 130) to move between an open and a closed position. The latching chip (30, 130) is configured to cooperate with the chip carrier socket (2, 102) such that the latching chip (30, 130) is prevented from being accidentally removed from the chip carrier socket (2, 102) during the operation thereof, thereby eliminating the possibility of the latching chip (30, 130) making electrical contact with other circuitry provided in the area. An overstress member (170) is provided on the latching clip (130) to insure that the latching chip will be reliable over many cycles.
摘要:
A method of constructing a connector housing block which includes a plurality of chambers (16) each for holding a contact member (14) therein, wherein the block is constructed of a plurality of stacked plates (18). Each of the plates (18) is formed with a plurality of apertures (20) so situated on the plates (18) that when the plates (18) are stacked the apertures (20) form the plurality of chambers (16). A solution of resin and catalyst in a solvent is provided, the plates (18) are coated with the solution, and the solvent is allowed to evaporate from the plates (18) to leave a continuous film of B-Staged resin and catalyst on the plates (18) which does not fill the apertures (20). The plates (18) are then stacked and the resin and catalyst are caused to cross-link and fuse.
摘要:
An electrical connector (20) for interposition between an electronic component (2) and a printed circuit card (14), electrically to connect contact pads (10) of the electronic component (2) to contact pads (18) of the circuit card (14), comprises a pair of superposed insulating plates (22 and 24) connected together by means of interengaging pins and sockets (66, 70 and 68, 72). The insulating plates (22 and 24) cooperate to define cavities (30) receiving spring contact elements (40) each having a nose (50) projecting through an opening (36) in a respective cuter surface (26 or 28) of the plates (22 and 24) for engagement with the contact pads (10 and 18). One half of each cavity (30) is defined by one of the plates (22 and 24) the other half being defined by the other of the plates (22 and 24). The cavities ( 30) have end walls (62 and 64) between which the contact elements (40) are compressed by engagement with the pads (10) and (18) so that the noses (50) wipe the contact surfaces of the pads (10 and 18).
