ABSTRACT:
Contacts and receiving sleeves within a connector insulator are sized to permit the contacts to be inserted into the sleeves of the insulator and lightly held in position. Each contact includes a press fit shoulder portion which protrudes from the bottom of the insulator and is adapted for press fitting into a receiving aperture formed in a mounting substrate. After the contacts are press fitted into the mounting substrate, a flat blade-like contact portion protrudes from the top of the insulator for electrical engagement with a female contact (not disclosed) while a contact tail portion extends below the substrate for wire wrap termination. The assembled connector configuration permits removal of the insulator by lifting it from around the contacts which it lightly engages. Further, with the insulator in place, any individual contact may be removed from both the insulator and the substrate for replacement in the event of damage.
A partial connector assembly, comprising an insulator having contacts lightly held therein, may be readily shipped to a remote location and there installed in a mounting substrate by press fitting the shoulder portions of the contacts protruding from the bottom of the insulator into receiving apertures in the substrate.
