ABSTRACT:
Connectors, for printed circuit boards and the like, are disclosed which may be cut to desired lengths. The connectors are formed from bodies of insulating material such as thermoplastic polyester, having receptacles, or cavities, which support pluralities of contacts. Each contact is positioned in one of the receptacles by engagement of a ridge in the body with a corresponding slot in the contact. The contacts are locked in their respective receptacles by a slide element which functions cooperatively with a slide receptacle in the contact block. An assembled connector may be shortened by severing the body to remove portions of the body bearing undesired contacts without disturbing the remaining contacts. Alternatively, before assembly, the insulating block may be cut to a selected length so that it will accommodate a particular number of contacts and avoid excess contacts. Each connector may preferably be provided with mounting feet, one or both of which may be removed before the connector is shortened and then be inserted afterward in a new position to provide the new shorter connector with mounting feet.
