Abstract (en)

[origin: US4842545A] In a connector for a flat conductor strip cable which consists of a two-part housing in which the cable is engaged by compression, one of the housing parts has a cavity with a cable support surface disposed at a first acute angle with respet to the direction in which the two housing parts are movable in engagement with one another and the other housing parts carry leaf spring contact members disposed at a second acute angle with respect to the same direction, which angle is smaller than the first angle and the leaf spring contact members have cutting edges adapted to cut through the insulation of the conductor strip cable and the slide onto the surface of the flat conductors upon compression of the housing parts thereby providing for firm contact of the leaf spring contact members with the flat conductors.

Abstract (de)

Kontaktstifte zum kontaktgebenden Einschieben in die metallisierten Bohrungen von Leiterplatten müssen zwar im eingeschobenen Zustand guten elektrischen Kontakt geben, dürfen jedoch beim Einschieben keinesfalls die Metallschicht verletzen. Nach der Erfindung wird dies durch einen Kontaktstift erreicht, der über den gesamten Kontaktbereich im Querschnitt S-förmig ausgebildet ist.
