Abstract: An electrical connector pin is formed from a unitary piece of strip so as to be in the shape of an elongated tubular member with terminal and contact sections at opposite ends, and with an unbonded seam extending between those sections. The terminal section has in it a scoop depression adapted to receive a lead and solder for bonding the lead to the pin, the wall portion which bounds the scoop being interposed between the scoop's interior and the seam to prevent solder in the scoop from reaching the seam and wicking therealong. The pin is adapted to be inserted into the insulating support member of a multi-pin connector, and the pin has forward and reverse motion stop tabs for locking the pin in place in such member. The contact and terminal sections of the pin are selectively coated with, respectively, a corrosion resistant layer and a solderability promoting layer.

Abstract: A universal strand clamp (10) is provided for securing a strand or cable (12) to a wall panel (14) to provide strain relief for terminating ends (16) of individual conductors (18) of the cable. The cable (12) is secured into a body portion (22) of the clamp (10) by a cable tie (20) which extends about portions of the outer periphery of the body portion and into a cross bore (40) of the body portion.
