<p>1,126,184. Two-part couplings. ELCO CORP. 14 March, 1966 [19 March, 1965], No. 11091/66. Heading H2E. An edge connector, e.g. for thin film circuits, comprises an insulating block 26 having spaced projections 28, 30 defining a slot 36 to receive a substrate 56, and contacts 24 having flattened blade portions 50 extending beyond the projections and arranged to resiliently contact conductive strips 58 on the substrate. The projections 28, 30 are sufficient to retain the substrate until the blades 50 are welded or soldered to the strips 58. The contacts 24 are keyed to the block by inclined portions 42-48 and may extend to regions inwardly of the edge of the substrate (Fig. 8, not shown). The rear portions of the contacts 24 may extend at right angles to the blades 50 and two such connectors may be applied to a single substrate to form a unit (Fig. 9, not shown). The contacts 24 may be of copper, aluminium or an Al-Co-Ni alloy and the block 26 is preferably of thermosetting resin.</p> |
