Integral connector having plastic spring-clips

摘要

A novel electrical connector structure having integrally molded plastic construction with a first premold core and a second integrally molded external shell separated by metallic foil or stamping. Plastic spring-clips of integral plastic formation are also provided with dual notches thereon one for direct engagement with a matching connector and the other a mounting panel or bracket. Concurrent connection of the connector to a matching connector and to a panel or bracket is made possible in which the matching connector is independently attachable or detachable from the connector with respect to said panel or bracket. The spring-clips are of such a compressible configuration such that when compressed the spring-clip deforms or deflects from its original configuration, and upon release of external pressure, it tends to revert back to its original disposition. The matching connector is also of integrally molded plastic construction and has plastic spring-clips with a compressible configuration for latching onto said connector structure.
