<p>An electrical connector is disclosed, designed for use with a telephone headset. The connector utilizes angled contacts for low insertion force, resulting in easier mating and longer life. The connector is provided with a latch that allows the connector to be uncoupled with a force roughly eight times the insertion force. Both halves of the connector have beveled edges on the upper surfaces only, allowing the connector to be aligned by tactile feel rather than visual inspection or by trial and error. Fine wires can be terminated on the connector contacts because the wires are accurately centered over insulation piercing points on the electrical contacts, and expansion of the wires in all directions is restricted as the piercing points penetrate the wire.</p> |
