TAPERED-FANG ELECTRONIC CONNECTOR

摘要

An electronic connector includes a base, and one or more tapered extensions protruding from the base. Each tapered extension includes a nose forming a terminal end of that tapered extension. Each tapered extension further includes first and second connection faces that form respective opposing sides of that tapered extension, and that taper toward each other from the base to the nose. Each tapered extension further includes first and second flank surfaces that form respective opposing sides of that tapered extension, and that taper toward each other from the base to the nose between the first and second connection faces. Each tapered extension further includes a first forward set of plural electrical contacts and a first rearward electrical contact located along the first connection face. Each tapered extension further includes a second forward set of plural electrical contacts and a second rearward electrical contact located along the second connection face.

主权项

1. An electronic connector, comprising:
a base; a central tapered extension protruding from the base; a first flanking tapered extension protruding from the base on a first side of the central tapered extension, and spaced apart from the central tapered extension; and a second flanking tapered extension protruding from the base on a second side of the central tapered extension opposite the first side, and spaced apart from the central tapered extension; the central tapered extension, the first flanking tapered extension, and the second flanking tapered extension each including:
a nose forming a terminal end of that tapered extension,a first connection face,a second connection face, the first connection face and the second connection face forming respective opposing sides of that tapered extension, and tapering toward each other from the base to the nose,a first flank surface,a second flank surface, the first flank surface and the second flank surface forming respective opposing sides of that tapered extension between the first connection face and the second connection face, and tapering toward each other from the base to the nose,a first forward set of plural electrical contacts located along the first connection face between the first flank surface and the second flank surface, and offset from the terminal end formed by the nose,a first rearward electrical contact located along the first connection face between the first forward set of plural electrical contacts and the base, and spanning all of the first forward set of plural electrical contacts between the first flank surface and the second flank surface,a second forward set of plural electrical contacts located along the second connection face between the first flank surface and the second flank surface, and offset from the terminal end formed by the nose, anda second rearward electrical contact located along the second connection face between the second forward set of plural electrical contacts and the base, and spanning all of the second forward set of plural electrical contacts between the first flank surface and the second flank surface.
