Electrical in=line multipin connector - has pins formed at ends of conductor loops that locate in grooves of axially arranged contact rings coupled to cable

摘要

An in-line electrical connector has a number of parallel pins that are engaged by a plug. The pins are formed into loops (20) that locate in grooves formed internally in contact rings (10). The rings and conductor loop pairs are stacked axially within a cylindrical insulated housing. Each pair is isolated from the adjacent ones and the pins (23) are arranged in parallel. Cable connections are made to other conductors (18) that have formed loops (15) locating in grooves in the external surface of the contact rings. ADVANTAGE - Compact, economical construction, providing reliable contact.
