Abstract (en)

[origin: US4373764A] A class of electrical connectors is provided wherein the socket employs an elastic element actuated by the insertion process of the plug into the connector and which elastic element assures a pressure contact between two contact elements. A female multipoint connector can provide a socket for a printed circuit board. The female multipoint connector supports two rows of weakly elastic conducting electrical contact elements. The contact elements are touched on their outside by strand-shaped elastic elements. The strand-shaped elements are captive disposed in slot openings in the longitudinal walls of the multipoint connector and protrude on the side beyond the longitudinal wall. The printed circuit board can be inserted into the opening of the female multipoint connector with its contact strip ending on a protrusion. The printed circuit board supports on both sides rigidly attached clamping elements. The clamping elements have an L-shaped cross-section and their inner sides are bevelled.
