METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PREASSEMBLING A PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD CONNECTOR

摘要

A tool is shown into which two rows of aligned contacts may be inserted. The contacts are connected at one end to a selvedge strip that may be cut to a given length to include predetermined number of contacts. An insulator housing mounts upon the tool and around the contact to form a preassembled connector. The housing also functions as a support and guide for the contacts as they are inserted into apertures in a printed circuit board.
