Electrical connector for a microphone

摘要

An electrical connector is provided for mounting a microphone of the disc type which has opposite flat faces joined by a cylindrical periphery. The connector includes a dielectric housing having a cylindrical microphone insertion cavity defined by a rigid arcuate wall portion at one side of the cavity and a flexible wall portion at an opposite side of the cavity. The distance between the rigid arcuate wall portion and the flexible wall portion is less than the diameter of the disc shaped microphone so that the flexible wall portion resiliently engages the cylindrical periphery of the microphone to establish an interference fit therewith. Terminals project into the cavity for engaging appropriate mating terminals on the microphone.
