Mass Terminable Flat Flexible Cable To Pin Connector - AMP Incorporated > 자유게시판

Although each of the resilient arms 26a and 26b is considerably horizontal, the ahead finish of each arm has an inwardly formed constricted conductor contact 28a and 28b which are formed in a conventional method in order that contacts on each arm are intently adjoining. In this configuration, the cable interconnection parts prolong outwardly beyond a primary face of the housing and usually are not inserted into the compartments forming a horizontal row in the housing 4. On this configuration, the frangible provider strips 36 could be removed and a flat conductor versatile cable 6 will be aligned with the terminals such that tapered ends 18 of crimp tang 16 penetrate the insulation 42 within the cable and have interaction and penetrate the cable conductors 40. All of the terminals could be mass terminated in this manner and the terminals can then be subsequently mass inserted into a completely inserted place such as that proven in FIG. Three wherein the retention lance 32 engages the second latch engaging cutout 46 extra closely adjacent the alternative face of the housing 6. Pins or posts eight can then be inserted by way of the ahead face of the housing 6 into the compartments 48 with the pins eight participating the constricted contact portions 28a and 28b of the contact.

The horizontal arm of the pin connector portion isn't, nevertheless, connected to the horizontal base of the cable interconnection portion however is as an alternative solely hooked up to the vertical pin connector base. The position of such spring contacts between adjoining terminals, however, limits the centerline spacing of pins for which the connector having a terminal as shown within the above-talked about patent could be suitable. One method of obtaining nearer spacing for terminals stamped from a blank having a width substantially larger than the ultimate width of the terminal is to employ stackable terminal arrays on service strips with the person terminals offset. After the contacts are formed on provider strips 36, the separate arrays of conductors will be interfitted by offsetting the terminals after which inserting the assembled arrays into a primary partially inserted place, as shown in FIG. 2. Latch 32 engages a primary latch partaking cutout forty four adjoining one face of the housing. For example, the field configuration shown in U.S. U.S. Pat. No. 3,699,502 discloses another gadget having a box configuration for establishing contact to one in every of a collection of posts or pins. The preferred embodiment of the invention disclosed herein contains a connector 2 appropriate for use in attaching flat conductors in a flat insulated cable 6 to a plurality of upstanding pins or posts eight in a horizontal row through which the pins and the conductors are spaced apart on centerlines no larger than 0.050 inch.

The moment invention permits such a closely spaced pin contact configuration to be employed with a regular flat conductor flat cable crimp such as that shown in U.S. Furthermore, the configuration of the terminal shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,699,502 requires that the terminal be formed from a stamped clean significantly wider than the ultimate width of the terminal. Pat. Nos. 4,082,402 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,357,065. Further, for instance, with reference to FIG. 10, the insulation three will be lower away, revealing exposed and bared ends of the sign conductors 2 that may be connected to electrical terminals, for example, as disclosed in U.S. 1 and 2, each said floor conductor 6 could be bent to extend into the airplane of the signal conductors 2. Thereby, the sign conductors 2 and the ground conductors 6 can prolong on pitch spacings in a common airplane of the conductors 2. The conductors 2, 6 are bared, and are prepared for termination, for example, with electrical terminals as disclosed in U.S. This invention relates to an electrical connector of the type employed to make an electrical interconnection between a plurality of conductors and an array of upstanding pins or posts and more significantly relates to an electrical connector suitable to be used with multi-conductor flat conductor flexible cable which promotes simultaneous mass termination of all of the conductors inside the cable.

The invention relates to a versatile flat electrical cable, and, more notably to a versatile flat electrical cable with a conductive shield. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the preferred embodiment of the terminal employed in this invention. FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of a plurality of terminals in two arrays positioned in a partially inserted configuration within an insulated housing. A resilient pin contact portion is positioned on the alternative finish of each terminal and employs a vertical, somewhat than a horizontal, base having two opposed resilient arms extending from the other sides of the base. 5A, 8A and 11A, at the least two ground conductors 6 extend, respectively, above and below mentioned one of the pitch spacings. The second or higher resilient arm 26b also extends horizontally relative to the vertical base 24 and is spaced above the plane of the horizontal base 14. Note that resilient arms 26a and 26b are spaced above and beneath the vertical base 26 with the constricted contacts 28a and 28b configured for engagement with the top and backside of pins or posts inserted therebetween slightly than configured for engagement with adjoining sides of closely spaced pins or posts.
