ABSTRACT:
Multi-contact connector for connecting wires to terminal pads on a circuit board comprises a housing having a trough-like opening extending into its circuit board receiving face. Terminal receiving cavities extend into the circuit board receiving face at spaced-apart intervals. The terminals are U-shaped and have wire-receiving slots extending inwardly from one end. A leaf spring is provided at the other end for contacting a terminal pad. Wire-admitting slots are provided in the housing and extend into the circuit board receiving face and the adjacent sidewalls. In use, a wire is positioned in the wire-admitting slots and the terminal is then inserted into the cavity. The wire is received in the wire-receiving slots and thereby connected to the terminal. When the circuit board is inserted into the trough-like opening, a spring contact on the terminal will engage a terminal pad.
