ABSTRACT:
A simple inexpensive electrical connector (and method of fabrication) for the connection of twisted pair or coaxial cable wires to adjacent pins extending from a backplane. A thin metallic strip is punched to form a plurality of pairs of flags extending from a common connector strip. The distance between the two flags of each pair is regulated to match the standard distance between terminal pins of the backplane. Each flag is punched with a central opening which forms teeth therein. The flags are preferably bent at the perimeter areas in order to form stiffening flanges and means for wire connection. Alternatively the flags are preferably encompassed by stiff plastic insulating material after the lead wires have been connected to each flag. A common connector strip which may be broken off and discarded, is used for handling with automatic equipment. A solid, reliable, durable and gastight connection is accomplished by pressing the connector over a pair of adjacent terminal pins which are bitten into by the toothed projections of the inner openings of each flag. Servicing and orderliness is facilitated since multiple sets of connectors can also be stacked on the same pair of terminal pins.
