Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a male-type direct current connector for a multiple-wire system cable which has a significantly simple structure and therefore can be assembled only by performing simple processes of crimping throughout all connection works. SOLUTION: A cylindrical male-type connector 16 is a connector for connecting a cable 14 comprising at least first and second internal conductors 22a, 22b, and 22c, which is enclosed with an outer insulative jacket 24, and at least, an outer tubular electrically-conductive contact 36 and inner tubular electrically-conductive contacts 32 and 34 are mounted in the connector 16. The male-type connector 16 is composed of: a dielectric housing 30 in which inner tubular conductive contacts 32 and 34 are connected to one side of the first and second internal conductor 22a, 22b, and 22c of the cable 14, respectively; a mainframe part 52 which fits with the outer tubular conductive contact 36; a first crimp arm 54 which protrudes from the mainframe part 52 to connect with a conductor other than the first and second inner conductors 22a, 22b, and 22c of the cable 14; and a terminal 50 having a second crimp arm 58 which protrudes from the mainframe part 52 to crimp the terminal 50 on the outer insulative jacket 24 of the cable 14.

SOLUTION: The electric connector 10 used for the telephone handset is provided with an insulation housing 18 that has both ends 21 and an array of terminal reception cavities 24 placed between them. To receive a microphone 34, a receptacle 32 is formed to the outside of the array of terminal reception cavities 24 in the housing 18. A plurality of signal terminals 26 are placed in the cavities 24. Furthermore, the housing 18 is provided with a plurality of microphone terminals 48. Its spring arm contact 48a is placed to a slot 45 of a bottom wall 46 and projected toward the receptacle 32 to be connected to a proper contact of the microphone 34. An acoustic channel 52 is extended through the housing 18 to connect the receptacle 32 to the outside of the housing 18.

Abstract: A connector assembly provides an interconnection between an IC pack (14) and a printed circuit board (16). The connector is in the form of a header (12) for mounting on the printed circuit board and into which the IC pack is inserted. A plurality of terminals (24) on the header are adapted for interconnection of the IC pack to electrical traces on the printed circuit board. An electrical switch (30) is provided along guide arm 20 of the header and is actuated by the IC pack itself upon insertion of the IC pack therewithin thereby detecting the presence of the IC pack within the header. The switch comprises a pair of spaced-apart contacts which are closed by the IC pack during insertion thereof into the header.

Abstract: An insulation displacement electrical connector assembly (10) is disclosed for electrically terminating the conductors (64) of a multi-conductor insulated flat cable (62). A connector base (12) has a plurality of terminal-receiving passages (20). A connector cover (14) is positionable on the base to provide a cable-receiving passage (60) therebetween. The cable-receiving passage traverses the terminal-receiving passages. Complementary interengaging latches (24,36) are provided between the base and the cover to hold the base and cover together clamping the cable in the cable-receiving passage. A plurality of insulation displacement terminals (40) are movably mounted in the terminal-receiving passages for movement between inactive positions out of engagement with the conductors of the cable and insulation-displacement positions piercing the insulation (66,68) of the cable and electrically terminating the conductors.

Abstract: A mounting system is provided for readily mounting an electrical connector (30) in an opening (62) in a panel (60) for interconnecting an electrical device (20) on one side of the panel with an electrical component (46) on the other side of the panel. A complementary interengaging pivot arrangement (36,64) is provided between a nose of the connector and the panel, near the opening in the panel, whereby the connector can be rotated to an operative position in the opening. Complementary interengaging latches (66,68) are provided between the connector and the panel, near the opening and remote from the pivot means, for holding the connector in its operative position. Interengaging (76) stops are provided for preventing disengagement of the pivot arrangement when the connector is in its operative position.

Abstract: An electrical connector system includes first (20) and second (24) electrical connectors mateable in a given general direction (A). Each connector includes a housing (38, 98) having a mating end (42, 112) and at least a pair of terminals (26/28, 32/34) mounted on the housing. The pair of terminals of each connector have contact portions (26d/28d, 32c/34c) engageable with the contact portions of the pair of terminals of the other connector. The contact portions of the terminals of at least one of the connectors are at angles to the mating direction to define a generally V-shaped engaging configuration. The contact portions of the terminals of at least one of the connectors are resilient. Therefore, wiping engagement between the respective terminals is effected during mating of the connectors, and the resilient contact portions are effective to store energy upon mating of the connectors, which energy is effective to assist in unmating of the connectors.
