ROCKET LAUNCHER CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY

摘要

A rocket launcher connector assembly that comprises a first connector component coupled to a launch tube and a second connector component is coupled to a rocket. The second connector component includes an interface side configured to engage the mating interface of the first connector component. Spring members of the second component have rounded portions for engaging contact pads of the first component. A housing of the assembly has a connector holding portion for holding the first and second components. The connector holding portion defines an alignment channel that supports the first component and the alignment member is slidably received in the alignment channel in an insert direction. A tolerance member is engaged with both the alignment member and the connector holding portion of the housing, wherein as the alignment member slides in the alignment channel, the tolerance member biases the alignment member in a direction opposite the insert direction.

主权项

1. A contact member, comprising:
a dielectric body having opposite first and second ends and opposite first and second sides extending between said first and second ends, said first side being a mating interface for engaging a mating contact, said dielectric body having at least first and second steps and a sloped surface therebetween, said sloped surface sloping in a direction from said first end to said second end such that a depth of said first side at said first end is smaller than a depth of said first side at said second end; and at least first and second contacts supported by said dielectric body in said first and second steps, respectively, each of said first and second contacts having a substantially flat pad at one end and a tail at an opposite end, wherein said pads are exposed at said first side of said dielectric body and said tails extend thru said second side of said dielectric body.
