Assignee:

Tyco Electronics Corporation - Middletown PA

International Classification:

H01R029/00
H01R013/627

US Classification:

439188, 439352

Abstract:

An electrical connector includes a housing having a plug portion configured to be received in a receptacle. The housing has a rear face aligned with and opposing the plug portion. The housing includes a latch beam that is deflectable between a latched state and an unlatched state. A CPA mounted to the housing is movable between open and closed positions and includes a beam that extends through the rear face of the housing to engage the latch beam of the housing to inhibit the latch beam from deflecting to its unlatched state when the CPA is in a closed position.

Appl. No.:

13/591611

Inventors:

Jeffrey D. Parrish - Westland MI, US

International Classification:

H01R 4/24

US Classification:

439391

Abstract:

An improved insulation displacement terminal (IDT) includes opposed spaced fingers having outer edges with first and second abutment sections adjacent the ends of the outer edges. A resilient spring-like mid-section in the finger between the abutment sections applies a generally normal force to a wire captured between the inner edges of opposed fingers of the IDT. The resilient spring-like mid-section of each finger may be provided by narrowing the width of each finger between the abutment sections such as by recessing the outer edges from the outer edges of the abutment sections or by providing slots or openings in the mid-section of the fingers. Corners of inner edges of the fingers are smoother and inner edges are generally planar to provide a large contact area between the fingers and a wire disposed therebetween. The IDT is mounted within a housing to provide an insulation displacement connector (IDC).

Inventors:

- East Providence RI, US
Jeffrey D. Parrish - Plymouth MI, US

International Classification:

H01R 12/58
H01R 12/52

Abstract:

An electrically conductive contact is disclosed and includes a fastening section integrally joined between a body and a tapered lead-in section. The fastening section is adapted for press-fitting into a hole of a substrate, such as a printed circuit board. The fastening section includes a pair of beams with a web joined in-between. The web has a center portion disposed between a pair of ramp portions. Each of the ramp portions has a sloping planar surface. The center portion has an opening extending therethrough and is offset in a normal direction. The fastening section is configured such that when the fastening section is press-fit into the hole of the substrate, the beams deflect both laterally and angularly.
