Abstract: An insulating housing for mounting in a mating female connector housing of an electrical connector, whereby the insulating housing is a two-piece construction including a housing member which receives a cover therein. The cover comprises a strain relief member which, in a preferred embodiment, is integrally formed as part of the cover and which comprises a plurality of teeth. When the cover is mounted in the insulating housing, the strain relief member may be pivoted from an unlocked to a locked position, whereupon the plurality of teeth bite into the insulation of the insulated wires, thereby relieving strain on the insulated wires.

Abstract: A mother board-to-daughter-board electrical connector comprises a metal housing having mounting feet for securing it to a mother circuit board, and a rocker assembly consisting of an elastomeric electrical connector element and a metal spring support fixed together in internested relationship. The connector element has an upright arm and a transverse arm, a first node projecting from the upright arm and a second node projecting from the transverse arm. Printed conductors on the connector element have contact surfaces extending over the nodes. The metal support has trunnions which engage in circular openings in side plates of the housing. The daughter circuit board can be inserted into the housing in a vertical, pre-loaded position and can be tilted towards the rocker assembly so as to be latched thereagainst by latching tongues on the housing, in a connecting position, in which conductors on the daughter board engage respective ones of the contact surfaces on the first node.
