  • Patent number: 4337989
    Abstract: An electromagnetic shield is disclosed for use in combination with a standard connector to provide electromagnetic compatibility for the connector system. The shield includes a two part enclosure for a plug member, which enclosure is attached to the braided shielding of a cable and which requires no gasketing to provide complete shielding. A shroud is provided for a receptacle member and the two shields interfit in such manner as to obviate the need for further gasketing at the mating interface.

  • Patent number: 4326764
    Abstract: An improved conductor preparation and termination means and method are disclosed for terminating multi-conductor flat cable having a high density arrangement of conductors on close centerlines. The present invention is particularly useful for mass termination of flat transmission cable and/or ribbon cable. The subject method and means is primarily distinguished from the known methods and means for terminating cable in that in the present instance at least some of the conductors are pushed from the insulation of the cable to a position where they are exposed and can be engaged by suitable terminating means.

  • Patent number: 4153325
    Abstract: An improved method and connector are disclosed for terminating twisted pair and ribbon cable. The connector has a base with a plurality of terminals mounted therein with insulation displacing portions extending from one mating surface and a cover with a central slot and a plurality of parallel grooves extending away from each side of the slot on a mating surface. A multi-conductor flat cable is fed through the slot in the cover and the individual conductors are sorted and routed into grooves which assure a proper alignment of the conductors. The conductors are then terminated by application of the base to the cover with the insulation displacing portions of each terminal engaging the appropriate conductor. The conductors can be simultaneously or subsequently sheared along the edges of the connector to form a finished termination.

  • Patent number: 4130332
    Abstract: A modular connector and scheme for crimping magnetic wire thereto are disclosed. The subject connector is particularly useful for interconnecting wires of magnetic coils, found in dot matrix print heads, directly to standard flat flexible cable, ribbon cable, or round wire conductors on closely centered grids. The connector allows for each coil to be individually repairable separate from all other coils and eliminates the previous assembly steps of splicing and soldering the wires of the coils onto a printed circuit board header which in turn was connected to a cable.
