  • Adhesive interface for electrical connector components
    Patent number: 6592402
    Abstract: An interface system is provided for adhering a pair of electrical connector components together. A first connector component has a first interface surface with a first set of elongated, mutually spaced adhesive flow fins. A second connector component has a second interface surface with a second set of elongated adhesive flow fins for disposition between the first set of adhesive flow fins. The flow fins of at least one of the first or second sets thereof are tapered from enlarged ends of the fins to reduced ends thereof for forcing liquid adhesive material between the interface surfaces longitudinally of the fins from the enlarged ends thereof toward the reduced ends thereof automatically when the interface surfaces are brought together.
    Type: Grant
