ylektrischer Stecker und Anordnung eines Steckverbinderempfängers.

摘要

The assembly (20) is used for interconnecting the conductors (132) of a flat high density cable (130) to circuits on a printed circuit board or the like. the plug (24) contains a first set of contacts (36) disposed on one side of the cable, each of which pierce the cable in order to make contact with alternate ones of the conductors (138). A second set of plug contacts (36) are disposed on the other side of the cable (130) and each of these plug contacts pierce the cable to make electrical contact with the other ones of the conductors (138) in the cable. The plug contacts (36) are L-shaped with the insulation piercing portions (38) (see Fig. 2) forming one of the legs of the L-shaped contacts. The insulation piercing portions (38) of the plug contacts in the first set of contacts are positioned in a row closer to the rear end (120) of the plug than the insulation piercing portions of the plug contacts in the second set of plug contacts. The plug (24) is adapted to be received in a plug receiving cavity (34) in the receptacle which has first and second sets of receptacle contacts (30), each of which are adapted to mate with one of the plug contacts (36) in the first and second sets of plug contacts.
