摘要： An electrical terminal includes a body having a first end, a second end, and a channel having an axis. The channel extends at least through the first end toward the second end, the channel configured and disposed to receive an electrical conductor. A contact gripping element intermediate the first and second ends extends into the channel at an angle from the axis. The contact gripping element is associated with the body. The contact gripping element terminates at an end having a reduced thickness. The contact gripping element is configured to exert a contact gripping contact force on the electrical conductor.

摘要： A board mounted connector for interconnecting the conductors of the non-terminated end of a flexible circuit or flexible cable to conductive traces on a printed circuit board. The connector includes a two part intermatable housing. The first part of the housing is attached to the circuit board while the second part, having end flanges that slidingly engage the ends of the first part, is movable with respect to the first part between a closed position where the conductors of the flexible circuit are held in contacting engagement with the contacts of the connector and an open position where the flexible circuit is free to be inserted into or removed from the connector. A positive stop is associated with each end of the connector, adjacent diagonally opposite corners, to render the second parts captive to the first part. A detent mechanism is associated with each end of the connector to bias the second part in both its open and closed positions.

摘要： An electrical connector (10) is disclosed having a one piece housing (12), a plurality of cavities (18,20,22,24) in the housing, arranged in two vertical stacks (14,16) of four cavities each, and a contact (26,28,30,32) in each cavity. The cavities in each stack are separated by thin walls (48,50,52) of the housing. Each of the contacts has a contact end (68) for mating with a mating connector, and a tail (78) that exits from the contact at a right angle to the mounting surface (36) of the connector. Some of the contacts (28,30,32) have support members (94,96,98,100,102,104) that extend from the contact to engage the floor (53) of the cavity while the upper surface of the contact is in engagement with the ceiling (51) of the cavity. There is a bearing structure established from the tails (78) through the support members and the thin walls (48,50,52) to the top surface (34) of the connector housing. This permits installation of the connector (10) to a circuit board (112) by applying an insertion force directly to the top surface of the housing.

摘要： An electrical connector system is disclosed having a pin header and housing assembly which can be latched and separated by the action of a single lever. The subject system includes a pin header mountable on a printed circuit board or the like to enclose an array of pin terminals fixedly mounted therein. The pin header also includes a standoff feature allowing wire wrap connection to the terminals. A connector member is receivable in the pin header and, by means of a lever actuated cam, is locked therein and extracted therefrom. The connector member also includes strain relief means for conductors connected to receptacle terminals carried thereby and the ability to individually probe the terminals without dismounting the connector member from the pin header.

摘要： A contact (10) has an intermediate body portion (11) provided with respective side edges (14, 15) formed with a protruding convex portion (16) and a recessed concave portion (17), respectively. The contacts (10) are slidably inserted into respective channels (22) in the insulated housing (21) of an electrical connector (20), the channels (22) being separated by respective walls (23). When the contacts (10) are thus inserted into the channels (22), the convex portion (16) of one contact (10) cooperates with the concave portion (17) of an adjacent contact (10) to trap and deform the wall (23) therebetween, thereby exerting a resilient biasing force for retaining each contact (10) in its respective channel (22).

摘要： A stacked electrical connector assembly (2) is disclosed of surface mounting on a circuit board (CB). The assembly comprises a sheet metal supporting bracket (4) having superposed upper and lower connector mounting lugs (20 and 24). An upper standard electrical connector (38) is mounted to the upper mounting lugs (20), a lower standard pin header connector N) being mounted to the lower mounting lugs (24). The pins (54) of the pin header connector (10) are connected to contact tails (46) of the upper connector (38) by means of a flat flexible cable (12). A lower standard multi-contact electrical connector (8) is mounted to the lower lugs (24) in front of the pin header connector (10) and has contact tails (76) projecting below the bracket (4). The assembly can be mounted on the circuit board (CB) by means of boardlocks (14) passed through holes in the lower mounting lugs (24) and in flanges (56 and 78) of the lower connectors (8 and 10) so that the contact tails (76) and lower portions of the pins (54) extend into holes in the circuit board (CB). Spring locking clips (14) serve to ground the bracket (4) to ground conductors on the circuit board.

摘要： A cover and strain relief assembly is disclosed for use with known elongated electrical connectors for providing either a 90.degree. or 180.degree. cable exit from the connector. The subject cover assembly has three pieces including a yoke that engages a mounting flange of the connector and a pair of mating panels which snap together engaging both the yoke and the cable. The mating panels can be reversibly connected, with respect to the manner in which they engage the yoke to yield a 90.degree. or a 180.degree. cable exit from the connector. The panels can further be provided with adjustable cable strain relief means.
