  • Single-sided, straddle mount printed circuit board connector
    Patent number: 5971775
    Abstract: A single-sided, straddle mount printed circuit board edge connector positively mechanically locks the connector to the circuit board using a plurality of gripper arm assemblies spaced along the connector housing. The gripper arm assemblies each include an upper and lower gripper arm defining therebetween a printed circuit board receiving space. The gripper arm assemblies positively mechanically lock the printed circuit board to the connector without the use of through holes and screws. The connector overcomes the disadvantages of connector tilt problems, manufacturability and simplicity in assembling the connector and printed circuit board.

  • Edge connector for a printed circuit card
    Patent number: 5154644
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes a spring contact member mounted in a housing which has an opening for receiving an edge of a printed circuit card. The spring contact member has a contact area urged into electrical connection with a contact pad on the printed circuit card as the edge of the board is inserted into the opening. The spring contact member has a dog-legged portion extending from the contact area in the direction of insertion of the printed circuit card to define a recessed area of the spring contact member facing the board in the opening. The recessed area of the spring contact member is aligned with the contact pad when the printed circuit card is fully inserted into the opening in the housing.
