Abstract: A connector for transmission cable has a lower housing and an upper housing securable thereto to be terminated to a prepared end portion of the cable. The conductors are laser welded in slots of the terminals. The contact sections of the terminals reside on respective resilient supports of the lower housing which act in cantilever fashion. A hood section of the upper housing extends over the plurality of contact sections to define a cavity. The connector structure is hermaphroditic in that one connector is matable with another identical connector having a reversed vertical orientation. The respective hoods cooperate to resist the forced cantilever action of the pairs of resilient supports urging each other apart, thus generating contact normal force. The hermaphroditic connectors latch when fully mated.

Abstract: A rocker switch has within a housing, a two-position actuator which moves a spring-loaded plunger from a first position to a second position of engagement with a bar, moving the bar over a fulcrum and wedging a second conductive end of the bar into bridging engagement between a second pair of spring contact terminals while simultaneously forcing the first conductive end out of engagement with a first pair of terminals. During moving from the first position to the second position the plunger disengages from contact with the bar at a first position proximate a first end of the bar and rides over a peaked camming surface which substantially compresses the spring while the bar remains stationary, bridging the first pair of terminals. When the plunger reaches the peak of the camming surface, the plunger is released to impact on the bar at a second position proximate the second end of the bar, suddenly forcing the second end downward into bridging the second pair of terminals. The bar may be a metal mass to perform as a heat sink. The terminals may be mounted in a contact assembly which also pins the bar in a pivotable state against the fulcrum. A latching system is disclosed which allows pivotal movement of the actuator within the housing.

Abstract: A double row connector terminates transmission cable, with selected terminals for grounding to provide programming. Signal conductors are terminated to terminals in a housing by being held in interference fit in longitudinal slots of respective terminals and laser welded thereto. Ground conductors are similarly held in grooves of a ground bus in the housing and are laser welded thereto. Selected signal conductors are also laser welded to the ground bus as well as respective terminals to convert the terminals to grounds. The conductors are disposed in a termination plane transverse to the connector requiring right angle termination to the terminals. The insulated cable is then doubled back over a dielectric spacer secured to the housing over the terminations, and a retainer is latched to the housing to clamp the cable and provide strain relief. Terminals and a ground bus are specially designed for the connector and the laser welding termination method.

Abstract: An electrical connector comprises a forward housing member, signal and ground terminals and dielectric cover means over the terminations of signal and ground conductors to the terminals, for two-lead or three-lead individual cables or ribbon cable. Contact sections of the terminals are secured in passageways of a contact-receiving portion of the forward housing member, and rearward sections of the terminals have respective signal and ground conductors of electrical cable or cables laser welded thereto. The rearward terminal sections are disposed along a contact-carrying portion of the forward housing member extending rearwardly from the contact-receiving portion. A dielectric cover means is molded over the contact-carrying portion, the rearward terminal sections, the terminations, the signal and ground conductors and end portions of the electrical cable or cables thus sealing the terminations, holding the terminals immobile and providing support and non-deforming strain relief for the cable or cables. An integral transverse bar spaced rearwardly from the cover means provides second strain relief for the cables when a plurality of cables are used, and spaces and supports them. A method for the overmoulding is disclosed where core pins hold the terminals to the contact-carrying portion and in place therealong, just rearwardly of the passageways, and simultaneously close up the rearward end of the passageways.
