Abstract: A machine and a method for applying a solder resistant material or solder resist to predetermined portions of miniature connector structures are disclosed. The machine permits large numbers of the miniature connector structures to be precisely treated with the solder resist without the need for costly and time consuming masking procedures. More particularly, the miniature connector structures attached to a carrier strip are fed through a hybrid fluid dispensing assembly similar to a bath, which is continuously supplied with the solder resistant material. The quantity of material supplied to the hybrid fluid dispenser or bath is coordinated with the speed at which the miniature connector structures are driven through the bath so that each of the miniature structures absorbs a predetermined amount of solder resistant material by capillary action. The quantity of material absorbed by each of the miniature connector structures is controlled so that it is just sufficient to fill a desired area.

Abstract: This invention relates to a device which removably latches a ribbon coaxial cable connector to a printed circuit board. More particularly the device has a pair of depending legs each having a pair of oppositely projecting latches. One set of latches adapted to removably retain the connector to the printed circuit board and the second set of latches adapted to provide a removable cover for the connector.

Abstract: This invention relates to a ultra high frequency (UHF) coaxial connector that can be applied to the end of a coaxial cable in the field by an inexperienced layman using only pliers. More particularly, the invention consists of a coupling nut having internal threads for mating with an antenna jack or the like, a shell around which the coupling nut fits and a center contact unit which fits into the shell. Included in the unit is a center contact into which is positioned the coaxial cables center conductor and, surrounding the contact, a dielectric which fits into the shell trapping the coaxial cable's braided shield thereinbetween.

Abstract: This invention relates to a phono plug and a method of making it. An insulated disc through which extends a center contact member terminated to a center conductor of a coaxial cable is positioned in the inside surface of a U-shaped outer shell member and enclosed therein by closing the shell member into a generally cylindrical housing. An open barrel integrally attached to the shell member is either simultaneously or subsequently crimped around the braided shield on the coaxial cable to complete the phono plug.
