    摘要: A plurality of integrated circuit lead clips having a circular top opening and four resilient planar tines are positioned in a holding fixture in a rectangular matrix array. A carrier strip including a plurality of equally spaced, transversely extending projections each having a generally rectangular cross-section is positioned above a row of clips positioned in the fixture. The strip is vibrated and then lowered to pass one projection into the top opening of each clip and through the four resilient planar tines. Vibrations of the projections at the same time the tips of the projections touch the clips causes the clip to rotate in the fixture so that the planar ends of the tines orient with respect to the four flat sides of each projection. The projections are pushed through the clips so that they are held to the projections by the resiliency of the tines. Once the clips are oriented and affixed to the projections on the carrier strip they may be installed directly into mounting apertures, such as plated holes in a printed circuit board, or inserted into oriented integrated circuit connector contacts.

    摘要: Press fit contacts having upper mating portions are stamped, formed and oriented out of sheet material for simultaneous insertion and housing in a removable connector insulator. Receiving sleeves formed in the insulator are constructed to permit the contacts to be bottom loaded into the sleeves, seated and lightly held therein. Each contact includes an intermediate press fit collar portion which engages a mating shoulder in the insulator. The insulator serves as a holding fixture and seating tool for transmitting insertion force applied to the top of the insulator to each one of the contacts for press fitting them into contact receiving apertures in a mounting substrate. The contacts held by each insulator are all simultaneously press fitted into the substrate by continuing to apply pressure to the top of the insulator until it is mounted flush upon the substrate. After the connector is assembled, the contact is in a configuration for electrical engagement with a mating contact (not disclosed) while a contact tail portion may extend below the substrate for wire wrap termination. The configuration of the assembled connector permits removal of the insulator by lifting it from around the contacts, which it lightly engages, leaving the contacts rigidly mounted in the substrate. Further, a connector assembly, comprising an insulator having contacts lightly held therein, may be readily shipped to a remote location for press fit installation in a mounting substrate.

    摘要: A multiplicity of integrated circuit connector contact sockets mounted to a plurality of carrier strips are moved between pairs of orientation rollers with tails of the contacts protruding upwardly whereby an upper socket portion of one contact is aligned with an upper socket portion of a contact on a carrier strip in an adjacent row. A plurality of integrated circuit connector insulators having socket receiving apertures formed therein are held together in an array and placed over the contact tails with one tail being received within each aperture of an insulator. The carrier strips are simultaneously advanced beneath a work station wherein a tool presses the insulators downwardly to tightly fit the contact socket portions into the receiving apertures in the insulators. A shearing tool then severs the insulators in the array from one another except for the continued affixation of the contact sockets to the parallel carrier strips. The carrier strips are then moved through a stripping station comprising a block having parallel channels for receiving the carrier strips and a flat inclined upper surface wherein the carrier strips are restrained from vertical movement while the inclined ramp strips the insulator mounted contacts from the carrier strips to form completed individual connectors.

    摘要: A solderless electrical connector comprising a printed circuit board and electrical contact terminals mounted therein. A printed circuit board is fabricated to the construction stage wherein conductive circuitry interconnects plated through holes formed therethrough. The exposed circuitry and plated through holes are covered with a conformal coating of insulative material which seals the outer surfaces of the conductive materials from the environment and its effects. The insulative coating obviates the need for solder to protect the conductive materials as well as precludes the use of solder for electrical interconnection therewith. The plated through holes are constructed for press fit insertion of contact terminals in tight frictional engagement therein. The press fit insertion of a contact having an angular edge portion effectively penetrates the insulative coating by deforming it away from that portion of the plated through hole brought to bear against the contact. A mechanical and electrical interconnection is thereby provided between the plated through hole and contact terminal of the press fit assembly while the utilization of solder and the requisite heat thereof is effectively eliminated.

    摘要: An edge connector for a circuit board includes a plurality of contact terminals each having a contact head, each contact head having a loop portion. The contact terminals are supported in a cavity in an insulative housing in such relation that the loop portion of the contact head bears against a shoulder portion of the housing. In one form of the connector, the contact terminals are fixedly mounted in a mounting substrate in such an arrangement that the loop portion of the contact heads bias the insulative housing against the substrate to hold the assemblage. In another form of the connector, the substrate may be eliminated, and the contacts include a lower flange portion adapted to bear against lower surface of the housing and an upper tongue portion adapted to bear against an upper shoulder surface of the housing between the tongue portion and the flange portion.

    摘要: Contacts and receiving sleeves within a connector insulator are sized to permit the contacts to be inserted into the sleeves of the insulator and lightly held in position. Each contact includes a press fit shoulder portion which protrudes from the bottom of the insulator and is adapted for press fitting into a receiving aperture formed in a mounting substrate. After the contacts are press fitted into the mounting substrate, a flat blade-like contact portion protrudes from the top of the insulator for electrical engagement with a female contact (not disclosed) while a contact tail portion extends below the substrate for wire wrap termination. The assembled connector configuration permits removal of the insulator by lifting it from around the contacts which it lightly engages. Further, with the insulator in place, any individual contact may be removed from both the insulator and the substrate for replacement in the event of damage.A partial connector assembly, comprising an insulator having contacts lightly held therein, may be readily shipped to a remote location and there installed in a mounting substrate by press fitting the shoulder portions of the contacts protruding from the bottom of the insulator into receiving apertures in the substrate.

    摘要: A contact for electrical component leads is formed by first stamping an outline design from a sheet of relatively thin metal stock. The stamped piece is then bent and folded in four substantially right angle bends about the longitudinal axis of the contact. The folded contact is generally rectangular in cross-section with planar side walls including a four-sided open top lead-receiving socket portion, a four-sided press-fitting central portion and a three-sided tail portion generally square in cross-section. Each planar side of the lead-receiving socket portion also includes a tine extending angularly inwardly and downwardly to mechanically and electrically engage an axially aligned component lead when inserted down into the open top lead-receiving socket portion of the contact.
