ABSTRACT:
A terminal is provided which includes includes an a non-movable L-shaped base and a swan neck contact coupled to one end of the base. The terminal also includes a split dimple formed on a base of the terminal to provide a front-to-back alignment of the terminal inside terminal-receiving cavities formed in a socket housing. The split dimple also provides the terminal with a strong retention to the plastic body of the connector housing. The terminals are particularly useful in a SIMM socket. Adjacent terminals on opposite sides of the edge card are electrically isolated or independent from each other. By incorporating electrically independent contacts into a SIMM socket, the present invention permits twice as many I/O leads in the same amount of space compared to a conventional SIMM socket and doubles the number of pads per module.
