Abstract: An electrical contact to be housed in a connector includes a mating member receiving section and a wire receiving section. The mating member receiving section is configured to mate with a mating member to provide an electrical connection there between. The wire receiving section has multiple contact sections, with each contact section configured for receiving one respective wire therein. Each contact section is oriented to receive the one respective wire from a different direction. The wire receiving section permitting insertion of only one respective wire in the wire receiving section at one time. The varied orientation of the contact sections of the wire receiving section allows the one respective wire to be inserted into the contact from different directions, providing an electrical connection between the one respective wire and the contact.

Abstract: A connector assembly for installing a device to a ceiling grid, the ceiling grid having conductors provided therein. The connector assembly includes a housing with contact arms mounted in the housing. Contact portions of the contact arms extend from the housing and are placed in electrical engagement with the conductors when the connector assembly is mated with the ceiling grid. Mounting members extend from the housing. Mounting sections of the mounting members are placed in mechanical engagement with the ceiling grid to provide a mechanical connection between the ceiling grid and the connector assembly. A polarity protection/correction member is provided in the housing. The polarity protection/correction member protects the device from failure or damage when the polarity orientation of the device does not match the polarity orientation of the conductors of the grid.

Abstract: Electrical connectors capable of being mounted on circuit substrates by BGA techniques and a method for manufacturing such connectors. There is at least one recess on the exterior side of the connector elements. A conductive contact extends from adjacent the interior side of the into the recess on the exterior side of the housing. A controlled volume of solder paste is introduced into the recess. A fusible conductive element, in the form of solder balls is positioned in the recess. The connector is subjected to a reflow process to fuse the solder ball to the portion of the contact extending into the recess. Contacts are secured in the insulative housing of the connector by deformable sections that minimize stress imposed on the housing, thereby reducing warpage. Solder resist areas are formed on central portions of the contacts to promote uniformity of solder volume. As a result of these features, substantial coplanarity of the BGA array along the mounting interface of the connector is achieved.
