Abstract: A cable connector having a body, a connection means, and a support member. A cable or wire runs through the body and to the connection means. The connection means allows the cable connector to removably engage a device designed to accept a cable. The support member provides lateral support to the cable. The support member prevents excessive forces from reaching a device to which the cable connector is attached by resisting or absorbing, rather than transmitting, such forces.

Abstract: A filter connector comprises a front insulator shaped to house a monolithic capacitor within a slot bordered by rows of contact cavities. A thin metallic plate, or spring array, is aligned with the front insulator so that a plurality of spring tabs on the spring array project inwardly into the insulator slot and each of a plurality of spring tines on the spring array project inwardly into a correspondingly aligned contact cavity. The capacitor is then inserted into the slot so that external electrodes thereon contact a spring tab aligned therewith. A contact pin is then inserted into a contact cavity, causing the spring tine to deflect and make contact. A rear insulator is then aligned with the spring array to sandwich the spring array between the front and rear insulators. The rear insulator breaks portions of the spring array and thereby isolates each spring of the array.

Abstract: A carrier for an electronic package assembly is disclosed in which the carrier contains an electronic chip having conductors which are engaged by contacts mounted in selected contact cavities in the carrier. The carrier may be sandwiched between a dual-in-line plug (DIP) and a DIP adapter. The leads of the DIP extend through the contact cavities in the carrier, engaging the contacts therein, and donwardly into the contact cavities of the DIP adapter engaging contacts therein having posts mounted in holes in a printed circuit board below the adapter.
