  • Patent number: 5677748
    Abstract: Disclosed is an improved electrical connector system for connecting metal leads protruding from a glass sealed electrical device to another circuit member. An array of conductors side by side at regular intervals are stamped from a thin sheet of metal with a melting point that is generally equal to that of the metal of the protruding glass-sealed metal leads. The conductor array has pieces of insulation tape applied to its opposite surfaces, holding the array together. The array may have pieces of insulation tape arranged so that the mid point of the conductors will be exposed providing a heat-radiating area. The one end of the conductor is fused to the metal leads by laser beam welding.

  • Patent number: 5458498
    Abstract: An electrical connector arrangement for connecting the exposed conductors of a mating end of a printed circuit member in which an interior mating area for the printed circuit member is defined between left and right side walls of a housing. The top wall has an opening communicating with the interior mating area. Latch members are mounted in the left and right side walls, respectively. The latch members are outwardly displaced to accommodate the downward movement of the mating end of the printed circuit member. The mating end of the printed circuit member is held in position, after the completion of the downward movement, by the force exerted on one surface of the circuit member from terminal conductor engaging ends contacting the exposed conductors and by the opposite force exerted on the opposite surface of the circuit member by resilient top ends of the latch members, thereby assuring the electrical connection.
