ABSTRACT:
A non-insulated printed circuit board jack includes an outer stepped drawn shell member, and a stamped contact member disposed within the shell for receiving an electrical conductor. The shell member has at one end a minor diameter portion which is freely receivable in an aperture in the printed circuit board. Intermediate its length the shell includes an integral flexible retaining portion which is generally polygonal in cross-section having alternating corner portions and side portions. The corner portions are resistively receivable in the printed circuit board aperture such that when the shell retaining portion is inserted into the aperture the inner circumference of the aperture forces the corner portions of the shell inwardly, and causes the outward expansion of the side portions, whereby the shell retaining portion tends to conform to the configuration of the printed circuit board aperture. By this arrangement, an interference or snug fit is achieved between the connector and the printed circuit board.
