Abstract

See full text

A socket connector (10) for printed wiring boards (37) in which signal or voltage connections may be made between the connector pins (14, 15) rather than by wiring printed on the board. A typical connector (10) is formed to present two lengthwise slots (19, 20) in either side wall (21, 22) of the connector housing (11) to provide access to the connector pins (14, 15). Electrically conductive strips (23, 30, 33, 40, 43) having bifurcated tabs (26, 27, 31, 32, etc.) extending therefrom are fitted into the housing slots (19, 20), the tabs clasping the selected pins (14, 15) to make the electrical connections required. The four slots and the underside of the connector housing make possible a number of pin interconnection combinations. Surface areas of the board are thus freed for other circuit purposes.
