ABSTRACT:
Electrical contacts are stamped and formed into a right angle configuration for simultaneous insertion and housing in an effectively removable connector insulator. Linear receiving sleeves may be formed in each of two sections so the insulator, which sleeves meet at right angles, one to the other, when the insulator is assembled. Each linear sleeve is constructed to permit one of the linear portions of the contact to be inserted therein. The assembled insulator serves as a holding fixture and seating tool for transmitting forces applied to the top of the insulator to each one of the contacts for inserting an extended portion thereof into a contact receiving aperture in a mounting substrate for rigid mounting therein, with the orthogonal portion of the contact lying generally parallel to the substrate. The contact of the assembled connector is then in a configuration for electrical engagement with a mating contact aligned generally parallel to the mounting substrate rather than perpendicular thereto.
The configuration of the assembled connector permits removal of one of the sections of the insulator by separating and sliding it away from the other insulator section and from around the orthogonal portion of the contacts which it houses, leaving the contacts partially housed and rigidly mounted in the substrate through press fitting and/or wave soldering. The exposed contacts may then be removed and replaced as is necessary for repair. Further, a connector assembly, comprising only an insulator having right angle contacts held therein, may be readily shipped to a remote location for installation in a mounting substrate.
