ABSTRACT:
A multiple contact connector, particularly suitable for attachment to printed circuit boards, is a one piece molded body with snap-in contact. From each side further recesses extend into the body, a further recess on each side of a central recess. Each center recess and its associated side recesses are connected by a transverse slot. The contacts, formed from phosphor bronze or other conducting material, are generally Tee shaped, having a stem positioned in the central recess and laterally extending arms passing through the slots and having enlarged ends which are positioned in the side recesses. The end of the stem is formed into spring contact portions to receive male contacts. The extreme ends of the laterally extending arms are formed into contacts which enter holes in the printed circuit board. A small web at an inner corner of each side recess acts to retain the contact in the body, the laterally extending arms clipping under the webs.
