  • Printed circuit injection molded connector with removable bifurcated contacts capable of high temperature exposure
    Patent number: 5044992
    Abstract: A connector protected against current pulses resulting from secondary emission from connector pins by a conductive layer surrounding each pin set. The conductive layer is intimately bonded to the connector insulation and is connected to the connector pin set. The connector is formed in a housing block of a liquid crystal thermoplastic that retains the crystal structure at elevated temperatures preventing deformation during high temperature soldering. The connector back and sides are patterned with plated conductors that provide interconnection between selected pins directly on the connector outer surfaces. The back surface of the connector is sealed by a heat setting acrylic that prevents contaminants from the environment at the back of the connector getting into the pin recesses.
