Mass terminable flat flexible cable to pin connector

摘要

A multi-contact electrical connector employing a plurality of terminals mounted in aligned compartments in an insulating housing is especially suited for establishing interconnection between flat conductors in a flat cable and closely spaced free standing pins or posts. This invention is especially suited for use in interconnecting pins and flat conductors on centerline spacings no greater than 0.050 inch. A conductor engaging portion having a horizontal base is joined to a pin engaging portion having resilient arms and a vertical base. The horizontal base is joined directly to the vertical base by an axial bend line and horizontal arms joined to the bend line are not connected directly to the horizontal base of the cable conductor interconnection portion.
