<p>8941 CAN A make-before-break printed circuit board edge connector comprises a plurality of pairs of terminals arranged in a row with a housing having side walls snapped there over. The housing has an elongate slot therein for receiving an edge portion of a printed circuit board. Each of the terminals is staked to a support and has a main bowed portion extending upwardly into the housing with the concave side thereof facing an adjacent side wall of the housing and with the convex side thereof facing the convex side of the main bowed portion of the other terminal of the pair, the printed circuit board edge being insertable between these convex sides. Short circuiting contact arms, also bowed, are stamped from the main bowed portions. Each such contact arm is attached at its upper end to the top of the associated main bowed portion, is free at its lower end and extends downwardly with the convex side thereof facing and nearly or actually abutting the inner surface of the housing side wall adjacent to the main bowed portion from which the contact arm is stamped. The free ends of the contact arms touch each other below the convex surfaces of the main bowed portions of the pair of terminals to form a continuous electrical path through these terminals, which is not broken by the edge portion of the board until after the main contact portions mate with the printed conductors of the board.</p> |
