<p>An electrical connector (10) for establishing electrical connection between electrical conductors (16) carried by an inner insulating housing (14) and another circuit element includes an outer insulating housing (12) having slots (48) defined in a wall (26), the outer housing having an interior chamber (30) adapted to receive the inner insulating housing (14) along sloped surfaces (82a). The housing (14) carries electrical terminals (16) having male portions (44) of sufficient length to extend outwardly from the wall (26) of the outer housing, and female portions (46) disposed within the interior chamber (30) of the outer insulating housing. An end insulating wafer (18) encloses the interior chamber (30) and carries electrical conductors (20) for termination to the female contacts. Wafer (18) includes drive surfaces (84) for contacting the inner housing (14) to force it toward the outer housing wall (26) to an extent sufficient to establish electrical connection between the male contacts (44) and another circuit element. The female socket-type contacts (46) disposed within the interior chamber (30) are cammed onto the male contacts (20) of the wafer (18) to provide weak or zero insertion force termination.</p> |
