Abstract: An electrical connector has an insulative housing and a plurality of terminals. The insulative housing has a base and a tongue. The terminals are mounted in the insulative housing by an insert-molding process. Each terminal has first and second positioning tabs formed transversely on the terminal and embedded into the tongue to prevent the terminal from inadvertently moving relative to the insulative housing.

Abstract: An orthodontic set-up tray includes at least two sections, and each section includes at least one receptacle for receiving an orthodontic appliance. A coupling movably connects the sections together to enable relative movement between the sections. The coupling advantageously permits the overall size of the set-up tray to be reduced or enlarged as may be desired by the practitioner. Optionally, the coupling is a releasable coupling that enables the sections to be detached from one another.

Abstract: A board shaped electrical connector includes a rectangular female section 1 comprising a raised portion 11 in a lengthwise groove 111, widthwise channels 12 at either half, two side fastening blocks 13, and conductors 2 in the channels 12 and each including a U-shaped contact 21 having hooked ends 212, and a fastening member 22 including a projection 221 in the fastening block 13, and a first space 226 formed between the conductor 2 and the channel 12; and a rectangular male section 3 comprising top slopes 312, a lengthwise cavity 33, widthwise channels 34 at either half and being in communication with the slopes 312, and conductors 35 in the channels 34 and each including a U-shaped slip-resistant portion 353 at the other end. In an assembled state the male section 3 is inserted in the female section 1 with the conductor 35 fastened by the hooked ends 212.

Abstract: A connection terminal for use with a flat flexible connector comprises a base defining first and second sides. A pair of cantilevered arms extends forward from the base. Each arm forms a contact portion at a free end thereof. Characterized in that the contact portion has reduced thickness than the rest of the terminal.
