Definitions

  • Figure 1 illustrates the different parts of the modular connector 10.
  • the body 12 is generally rectangular and has a plurality of identical compartments extending from one end to the other. Each end has an opening therein to receive an end cap.
  • the opening 17 is wide at one end and narrow at the other end.
  • the narrow end 17a and the wider end 17 match similarly shaped portions of the end caps 30.
  • Each compartment in the body 12 is separated from the other by walls 18.
  • the connector assembly is completed by snapping the bottom plate 19 into the bottom of body 12.
  • the connector is held together by frictional mating surfaces, hereinafter explained in detail.
  • a modular connector can use the same insulator body and end caps to make up a press fit connector or a connector to be mounted on a printed / circuit board using solder, screw or rivet means to mount the connector.
  • the only variation between the two type connectors is that a different terminal contact is used and that a bottom plate is not used with the press fit connector since the circuit board on which it is mounted is used as the bottom plate.
  • Each of the above described connectors may be repaired in the event a terminal is damaged.
  • the insulator body only frictionally engages the terminals so it may be lifted off the terminal, the damaged terminal replaced, and the insulator placed over the terminals and pressed into engagement with the terminal.
  • Both the saw 98 and the mill 99 may be turned by the same motor (not shown).
  • the motor drives the saw blade and mandrel 100.
  • Mandrel 100 is powered by belt 101.
  • a protective cover 105 covers both the saw blade 98, the mandrel 100 and the mill 99.
