Abstract: An electrical contact comprising a holding section (2) formed of opposing side plates (6) bent from a bottom plate (5), a contact section (3) extending outwardly from the holding section (2) for electrical connection with a circuit board, a wire-connection section (4) between the side plates (6) for electrical connection to an insulated electrical wire (30), projections (18) at the sides of the wire-connection section (4) disposed in projection-receiving holes (8) in the side plates (6), and the side plates (6) having thermal-insulation holes (9, 9') adjacent the projection-receiving holes (8) to dissipate heat conducted along the contact section (3) and holding section (2) when the contact section (3) is soldered to the circuit board to obviate the melting or softening of the insulation of the electrical wire (30) in the wire-connection section (4).

Abstract: An electrical connector comprises a dielectric housing (30) having at least one cavity (31) with a wall of the cavity having a resilient lance (34), an electrical contact (10) positioned in the cavity (31) and includes conductor and insulation-crimping sections (11, 12) at both ends of the contact for respectively crimping to a conductor (20a) and insulation (20b) of an electrical wire (20), a securing member (14) and a contact section (13) are located between the crimping sections (11, 12) at opposite sides, and an outwardly-formed projection (15) is formed in the securing member (14) for engagement with a raised portion (35) of the resilient lance (34) to retain the contact (10) in the cavity (31).

Abstract: An electrical connector for connecting a flexible printed cable (14, 23) to a circuit board 13 comprises a dielectric housing (3, 10, 20) having electrical contact members (2a, 11, 21) secured in opposing sides of the housing, the contact members having contact sections (2a, 11A, 21c) inside of the housing for electrical connection to exposed conductors of the flexible printed cable when a section is positioned in the housing and maintained in connection therewith by a cover member (4, 12, 22) which is pivotally mounted on the housing and latched hereto by latch members (10A, 12A; 20b, 22a).

Abstract: An electrical connector (21) comprises a dielectric housing (20) having apertures in which contact sections (6) of electrical contacts (2) are secured while termination sections (10) of the contacts (2) extend at a 45 degree angle with respect to the contact sections (2) and along a bottom surface (23) of the housing (20) so that the termination sections (10) are parallel and extend outwardly from at least one of the side walls of the housing (20) for connection to conductive members on a circuit board. Connector (40), 40a-c) is provided with contacts (2a) having tines (34) for disposition in holes (32) in a circuit board (31) for connection to conductive areas on a bottom surface (31") of the board while termination sections of contacts (2) are connected to conductive areas on an upper surface (31') of the board (31).
