ABSTRACT:
A compression connector includes an insulative housing including a cover and a base. The base includes a bottom plate and a wall formed thereon with spaced passages defined therein. The passages are exposed to a top face of the wall. The cover includes top and bottom panels defining an interior space therebetween for receiving the base. A barb is formed on the bottom plate of the base for engaging with a slot defined in the bottom panel of the cover to retain the base in the cover. The cover defines a plurality of channels in communication with the interior space and corresponding to the passages of the base. A spring contact has a fixing section received in each channel of the cover and a substantially U-shaped contact section resiliently supported in the corresponding passage of the base and biased to partially project beyond the top face of the wall of the base for engaging with a conductive pad of an ink cartridge. A wire extending through an opening defined in a rear wall of the cover is attached to the fixing section of the corresponding spring contact by crimping tabs formed on the spring contact.
