Abstract: A surface mount electrical connector (10) includes an insulating housing (12) having a through receptacle (16, 18), the housing being mountable to a printed circuit board (46). A spring contact (14) is mounted in the receptacle of the housing and includes a contact pad (26) at one end exposed at the bottom of the housing for surface engaging a circuit trace on the printed circuit board. A contact cusp (34) is formed from the opposite end of the spring contact and projects from the top of the housing for engagement by a complementary contact component. A mounting post (30) is provided intermediate the ends of the spring contact for fixing in a mounting aperture in the housing. The spring contact is a planar stamped metal component disposed in the housing with the plane of the contact generally transverse to the top and bottom of the housing. The contact cusp (34) is preloaded within the housing.

Abstract: An electrical wire trap-type terminal (10) includes a pair of terminal arms (16) projecting from a base (12). The terminal arms are spring loaded whereby, when the terminal arms are moved to a conductor receiving position, the terminal arms will return automatically to a conductor trapping position. The terminal arms define a jaw (18) configured such that relative movement of the terminal arms to the conductor receiving position opens the jaw to receive the conductor (36), the jaw trapping the conductor when the terminal arms are released and in their conductor trapping position. A housing (34) is provided in conjunction with the terminal and through which the conductor (36) is inserted into the jaw (18). The housing is effective to open the jaw to the conductor receiving position.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly (10) is provided for mounting on a printed circuit board (12) which includes at least a pair of mounting post-receiving holes (24) and at least one solder tail-receiving aperture (25). The assembly includes a housing (18) having at least a pair of mounting posts (22) for positioning in the holes (24) in the printed circuit board. At least one contact member (34) is mounted on the housing (18) and includes a solder tail (44) for positioning in the aperture (58) in the printed circuit board. The solder tail (44) has a generally straight side (44a) and a projecting hook (44b) on an opposite side (44c) for retaining the connector assembly on the printed circuit board. The width of the solder tail between the straight side (44a) and the outermost point of the hook (44b) on the opposite side (44c) is no greater than the width of the aperture (58), and the centerline (57) of the solder tail (44) between its sides is offset, in the direction of the hook, relative to the centerline (60) of the aperture (58) when the mounting posts (22) are aligned with the holes (24) in the printed circuit board (12).

Abstract: An electrical switch (40) includes a generally planar, generally stiff dielectric substrate (44). Stamped sheet metal circuitry (46) is engaged to at least one side of the substrate and includes an open circuit portion (46c). A layer (20) is juxtaposed over the circuitry and includes at least one contact area (36) on a side of the layer in facing relation with the open circuit portion (46c). Therefore, movement of the layer (20) toward the substrate (44) is effective to move the contact area (36) and close the open circuit portion (46c). Preferably, the dielectric substrate (44) is insert-molded about the stamped circuitry (46). The invention also contemplates a method of fabricating the electrical switch (40), as well as a circuit frame (42) incorporating the stamped circuitry (46) and the insert-molded substrate (44).

Abstract: A high contact force, high elastic response range pin-receiving electrical contact (10) includes a base portion (18) and a pair of spaced apart cantilever beams (26, 28) which extend forwardly from the base to a pin-receiving end (12). A pair of inwardly directed contact surfaces (34, 36) is defined one on each cantilever beam facing the opposed beam for slidably, electrically engaging an inserted pin terminal. A resilient beam support member (54) extends from and interconnects the pin-receiving ends (30, 32) of the cantilevered beams (26, 28). The resilient beam support member (54) increases the elastic response range of the pin-receiving contact by enabling each cantilevered beam (26, 28) to endure a greater outward displacement before a minimum yield in the beam occurs while providing a greater normal force against the pin.
