Abstract: This invention relates to a card edge connector, multiple numbers of which are arranged in banks and interconnected by discrete wires. The present invention provides a system for lacing wires through passageways and channels, thereby aligning the wires for insertion within slotted plate electrical contacts. One or a pair of wires may be inserted in each contact. Wire gripping strain relief is provided in each of the wire aligning passageways. The passageways and channels position the wire in an orderly arrangement in different planes within the connectors. Wire retention gates prevent removal of the wires from the channels and passageways.

Abstract: Wire-in-slot connecting device comprises a plate-like connector member having an arcuate cross-section and having wire-receiving slot extending inwardly from one end thereof. An insulating housing for the connector member has wire-receiving openings extending therein from one side thereof and has connector member openings extending inwardly from an adjacent side which intersect the wire-receiving openings. The connector member openings have a cross-section which is in the form of a geometric segment, the radius of the arcuate wall thereof conforming to the radius of the connector member.

Abstract: A load coil assembly housing for use with multiconductor cable containing a plurality of associated pairs of electrical conductors has connector terminals located along the periphery of the region in which load coils are located. That makes the otherwise conventional housing suitable for use with mass application tooling. Cable wires and load coil or component leads may be respectively attached by solderless and solder techniques to one terminal.
