摘要： An electrical shunting contact and method for producing the same for mounting between adjacent first contacts in a first connector and for self-operatively providing a short circuit between the adjacent first electrical contacts when corresponding second contacts of a second connector are demated from the first connector. The electrical shunting contact comprises a conductive member having opposing legs joined by a resilient bridge, each leg having a non-conductive protuberance projecting outwardly therefrom. Under demated conditions, a contact edge of each leg abuts the adjacent first contacts between which the shunting contact is mounted to form a short circuit therebetween and the non-conductive protuberance is disposed in a chamber located just above the first contact. The presence of a second contact forces the legs of the shunting contact to be compressed out of engagement with the first contacts, thereby creating an open circuit between the adjacent first contacts.

摘要： A circuit pattern on the surface of a printed circuit board is used as a guide and connection circuit for closely spaced contacts of a connector to be connected to the circuit board. The contacts of the connector are closely spaced and possibly would not contact the connection pads or might be located between connection pads because of the close spacing of the contacts. The guides formed from circuit patterns accurately guide the connector to the connector pads on the circuit board and place each contact over its respective circuit connection pad.

摘要： A compliant electrical connector pin for press-fit connection to a plated hole in a circuit board is disclosed. A compliant section is provided on the pin to frictionally engage the hole walls, thereby retaining the pin within the hole. The compliant section includes two V-shaped troughs having flat bottom faces. These faces define a web which compresses when the compliant section is pressed into the hole. Barrier walls in the bottom of each trough normal to the flat bottom face guide the compression of the web and prevent the web from splitting or shearing. The sides of the trough define two flanges, the exterior of which contact the hole in the circuit board. The outer corners of the flanges are angled to match more closely the circular shape of the hole, thereby reducing hole damage from sharp corners on the compliant section and enabling the pin to fit smaller diameter holes.

摘要： A modular printed circuit card edge connector or a cable connector plug is made in several parts including the connector body, a bottom plate, two separate end caps and a plurality of connector terminals. The body of the connector can be cut to any length and assembled with the other parts to provide a card edge connector or cable connector of a desired length. In a second embodiment of the invention, a press fit connector is made up of the modular parts. The base plate is not used and the body of the connector is used to press fit the terminals into a circuit board.
