  • V-shaped grooves 77 in sidewalls 75 receive lugs 110, which are preferably pointed as shown in Figure 13 or 13A, skive sidewalls 75 upon insertion and prevent withdrawal of legs 100 from notches 76.
  • Lugs 110 not only secure leg 100 in notch 76 but also prevent leg 100 from moving normal to spacer plate 74.

  • the receptacle 96 is formed in accordance with US Patent Application Serial Number 806,149, filed on June 12, 1985, and the insertion and retention part 98 which comprises a laterally barbed retention plate 104 and an insertion hump 106 is formed in accordance with US Patent Application Serial Number 094,944 filed on September 9, 1987, both of which patent applications are incorporated herein by reference.
  • the leg 100 is provided with retaining means in the form of a substantially U-shaped retaining member 108 presenting retention lugs 110, shown in outline in Figure 2.

  • a rear view of the terminals 95 in body 14 is shown in Figures 13 and 13A.
  • the shield 12 In order to assemble the shield 12 to the connector body 14, the terminals 95 having been inserted into the cavities 62 with the forward ends of the receptacles 96 thereof proximate to the mouths 62 and their legs 100 retained in the notches 76 by means of the retaining members 108, the shield 12 is slid onto the connector body 14 in the direction of the arrow A in Figure 2. During this operation, the flanges 48 and 50 enter respective grooves 82, guided by their flared mouths 84, and finally snap into the deepened portions 86 of the grooves 84, the detents 52 likewise snap into the recesses 88, an edge thereof engaging retaining shoulder 89. The shield is thereby firmly secured to the body 14.
  • the lances 112 which protrude below the mounting face 92 are then inserted into respective holes H in the substrate S, the mounting feet 54, 54′ or 54 ⁇ , as the case may be, entering respective apertures AP in the substrate S, and the mounting foot 58 entering an aperture AP1 in the substrate S.

  • the body 14 may have different numbers of terminal receiving cavities 62 and differently arranged keyways.
  • the cavities 62 may be arranged at two or three levels displaced from one another in a direction perpendicular to the mounting face 92, although the holes H in the substrate S are, in each case, arranged in two rows only. This means that the lengths of the legs 100 and the configuration of the arms 102 must be adapted both to the layout of the cavities 62 and to that of the holes H.
  • the insertion lances 112 of all the terminals 95 must, of course, all be of the same length.
  • the cavities 62 are numbered 1 to 3, 1 to 4 and so on up to 1 to 8, and the holes H are correspondingly numbered.
  • the configuration of the arm 102 and the leg portion 114 must be different in respect of each terminal 95. That is to say since the holes 2 are arranged in only two rows, and since the cavities are differently spaced from the spacer plate 74, the arm 102 and leg 100 of each terminal must be dimensioned to compensate for such mismatching.
  • the terminals 95 are arranged in four pairs, namely those for the cavities 1 and 2, the cavities 3 and 5, the cavities 4 and 7, and the cavities 6 and 8 respectively, the terminals 95 of each pair being configured so that their arms 102 are cranked in mirror image relationship with one another, that is to say the arms 102 of each pair of terminals 95 offset the legs 100 of the pair in opposite sense with respect to the receptacles 96 thereof.

  • Figures 18 and 19 show the terminals for the cavities 1 and 2, in the bottom row, in which the arms 102 are oppositely directed to the same extent and the leg portions 114 are the shortest.
  • the leg portions 114 are longer than those of Figures 18 and 19 because both of the terminals of these Figures are in the second row up from the plate 74, i.e, the middle row.
  • the arms 102 in Figures 18 and 19 and in Figures 20 and 21 offset the legs 100 from receptacles 96 to substantially the same extent because, as will be apparent from Figure 16, the cavities 1 and 2 are offset from the holes 1 and 2 to substantially the same extent as the cavities 3 and 5 are offset from the holes 3 and 5.
  • the leg portion 114 is shorter than that of the terminal shown in Figure 23 which is for a top row terminal.
  • Each arm 102 in Figures 22 and 23 offsets the receptacle 96 from the leg 100 of respective terminals received in cavities 4 and 7 to accommodate the respective offset in holes 4 and 7 in substrate S, since the cavities 4 and 7 are offset from the holes 4 and 7.
  • the offsets afforded by the arms 102 are, however, greater than in the case of the terminals of Figures 20 to 23.
  • the terminals shown in Figures 24 and 25 are for the cavities 6 and 8, respectively, which are the outside cavities of the top row and the arm portions 114 in both of these figures are, therefore, of equal length.
  • the offset afforded by the arms 102 is equal to that afforded by the arms 102 in Figures 22 and 23, the arms 102 are longer in Figures 24 and 25.
  • Each of the terminals shown in Figures 18 to 25 forms part of a discrete strip of terminals joined in side by. side relationship by carrier strips 120 and 122, which are primary and secondary carrier strips, respectively, and are connected by transverse strips 123.
  • the length of each leg portion 114 is determined by the positioning of the secondary carrier strip 122 therealong.
  • each of the notches 76 must receive the retaining members 108 of two of the terminals 95 since the notches 76 are four in number whereas the terminals 95 are eight in number.
  • each notch 76 has a wider part 116 for receiving the retaining member 108 of one terminal 95, communicating with a narrower part 118 for receiving the retaining member 108 of another terminal 95.
  • each of eight different terminal strips are produced as shown in Figures 18 to 25 respectively, each terminal is severed from its strip and, during manufacture of the connector 10, is selectively inserted into its respective cavity 62 in its proper orientation by means of a stitching machine, after the body 14 has been molded.
  • there are fewer than eight cavities 62 appropriate ones of the terminals manufactured for a body 14 with eight cavities, are inserted into these fewer cavities.
  • FIG. 13 A rear view of terminals 95 in body 14 is shown in Figures 13 and 13A.
