ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is a circuit panel connector for electrically connecting a circuit panel, such as a printed circuit board, with an insulated wire. The panel connector comprises a one-piece connector body of dielectric material having a main portion and a cover portion. The main portion includes a socket for receiving the panel, a rear wall, a floor, a pair of spaced side walls ech unitary with the rear wall and with the floor and providing the main portion with a cell. The main portion also has an opening in open communication with the cell and the socket and each side wall has a corner provided with a projection having an eave confronting the floor. The cover portion is hingedly connected to the rear wall and is movable between an open position in which the cover portion does not cover the cell and a closed position in which the cover portion covers the cell. The cover portion also has latching and strain relief resilient projection means. The latching projection means has a configuration adapted for latching interengagement with the eaves to hold the cover portion in the closed position and the strain relief projection means is located closer to the rear wall than the latching projection means and is adapted, when the cover portion is in the closed position, to engage the insulation of a wire in the cell, to provide strain relief.
