Plated D-shell connector.

摘要

A female D-shell connector is fabricated by molding a portion of a three dimensional circuit board into a D-shaped block having a plurality of plated through holes passing through the block. The holes are arranged in two staggered rows having a relief channel passing between the rows so that the circuit board may flex to provide spring pressure against mating pins of a male connector. A mating male connector may be similarly fabricated by molding a D-shaped wall encircling a plurality of plated through holes. Pins are installed in the through holes in a secondary process.
