ABSTRACT:
A wire trap connector provides an adjustably mounted compression tail which protrudes from a contact within a housing of the wire trap connector. The compression tail is oriented at a right angle to one side of the connector housing or extends perpendicular from the connector housing. The invention thus allows a means of attaching wires to an electronic assembly without soldering the connector to the PCB. This provides the benefit of eliminating the soldering process from manufacturing. In addition, the compression tail offers alternate circuit assembly options to be used without the addition of a wave solder or manual solder step. Thus, the invention offers a significant cost reduction compared to current technology.
