Abstract: Disclosed is an electrical connector of the type fixedly attached to printed circuit boards having the male pins or terminals of the connector designed to go through corresponding bores in printed circuit boards that are then soldered to said board permanently establishing the desired electrical connections and further offering a high degree of resistance to humidity and, consequent humidity caused corrosion in the male pins or terminals through the novel use of ring-like projections around each male pin, stand-off supports, and a insulating and sealing resin filler.

Abstract: A connector 10 for making electrical terminal connections facilitates making relatively easy and secure lateral insertions of one or more terminals. The connector 10 includes a pair of lateral supports 12 at opposite ends of a plurality of generally aligned walls 14. The walls 14 define a plurality of cells 20 between them. Each of the walls 14 supports a protuberance 15 on one side of the walls preferably at a generally central location along the length of the walls. One end of the walls includes a tab 18 supported on each side of the walls such that each of the cells 20 includes one protuberance 15 and two tabs 18. The protuberances facilitate proper terminal placement while each set of two tabs cooperate to form a wire holding portion within each cell. The lateral supports 12 and walls 14 are supported by first and second lateral bases 13, 11 that are configured and positioned to allow easy lateral insertion of terminals and further secure the position of the terminals within the connector.
