ABSTRACT:
A high power density field wireable connector wherein both the wire insertion and the screw tightening mechanism for retaining an inserted wire in the connector are front accessible and negate the requirement to remove the module as in the prior art. The wiring is located toward the interior of the connector rather than the exterior so that the screws are more accessible. The connector housing includes a mechanism for captivating the mounting screws and a two position locator so that various modules already located in the field can use the same connector. Fingers on the circuit board make contact with contact fingers within the connector. Both the fingers on the circuit board and the contact fingers within the connector are preferably plated with gold. A normal spring force on the fingers within the connector is provided by the cantilever action of interior walls of the connector housing with the contact fingers disposed within the housing. The housing is designed with specific dimensions and tolerances both are compatible with both DIN 41612 and VME standards.
