Abstract: A strip is provided with a series of housings for a like number of terminals to which conductor wires accede thrust by a tool in order to establish a connection, by means of displacing the conductor wires over the terminals. Each housing or chamber is independent of those adjacent, the separation being constituted by means of transversal partitions, which makes possible the pouring of a sealing gel into the respective housing chamber up to a level which is at a height lower than the entrance step of the conductor wires and above the edge of the terminals, with the objective that both said terminals and the connections thereof with the conductors be immersed in the sealing gel in order to prevent oxidation on the connections.

Abstract: An insulative housing of a PCMCIA card connector includes a header defining a plurality of passageways therein. The passageways are exposed to a rear face of the header for allowing contact elements to be inserted therein from the rear face. The header has a top face forming a post and an opposite bottom face defining a corresponding bore. The post pivotally supports a rocking arm of a card ejection mechanism for releasing a PCMCIA card from the connector. A number of insulative housings may be vertically stacked and precisely positioned with respect to each other by inserting the post of a lower housing into the bore of an upper housing thereby aligning the passageways of the housings. Contact elements fixed to a carrier strip and equally spaced therealong are simultaneously inserted into the passageways of the housings thereby enhancing the efficiency of assembling the PCMCIA card connectors.
