  • Posts 1 have spring-receiving sections 5 which are provided with beveled surfaces 6 and projections 7.
  • a corrugated area 8 is provided on the inner surface of spring-receiving sections 5.
  • Spring means 9 is stamped and formed from a suitable metal having desirable spring characteristics and it includes an oblong opening 10 having a width to enable the spring means to be inserted onto spring-receiving sections 5 therethrough until bight 11 is disposed adjacent the upper surface of panel 2.
  • the width of opening 10 is slightly smaller than the width of section 5 so that opposing surfaces of opening 10 snugly engage opposite sides of section 5.
  • a slit 12 is provided in bight 11 to permit opening 10 to be opened further if opening 10 is not wide enough or section 5 is too wide so that no deformation to opening 10 is done when spring means 9 is mounted on section 5.

  • An inwardly directed dimple 16 is provided in end 15 opposite corrugated area 8 and dimple 16 and corrugated area 8 define irregular contact-engaging surfaces for electrical engagement with leads 3 to enhance the electrical engagement therebetween.
  • An elongated depression 17 is formed in movable member 14 to strengthen it and provide the desirable spring characteristics thereto. Wings 18 extend outwardly from movable member 14 and along corresponding sides of spring-receiving section to maintain the contact-engaging area of movable member 14 in alignment with the contact-engaging area of section 5 during the relative movement therebetween.
  • Arcuate depressions 19 are disposed in wings 18 and they can engage stationary member 13 and projection 7 to limit the movement of movable member 14 relative to section 5 thereby providing an anti-overstress means to prevent overstressing movable member 14.
  • Beveled areas are provided in the inside surfaces of wings 18 to assist in guiding leads 3 into the receptacle means.
  • the wings may be tapered from an outer to inner direction thereby replacing beveled areas 20 to assist in the guiding of the leads into the receptacle means. 7
  • Posts 1 can have a configuration suitable for being connected to circuit paths on panel 2 by conventional flow-soldering techniques or they can have the necessary configurations for having connected thereto pointto-point wiring via conventional connection-making means.
  • FIGS. 13-15 illustrate a preferred method of assembling connectors in accordance with the invention to the contactengaging areas 5 of the terminal posts mounted in the panel 2,
  • the connectors 9 are manufactured in the form of a continuous ladder strip comprising a carrier strip 43 having connectors 9 integral therewith and extending laterally therefrom at spaced-apart intervals.
  • Conventional pilot holes 47 are provided in the ladder strip for feeding the strip through the die as is common practice in the stamping and forming art. It should be mentioned that the spacingbetween adjacent connectors 9 of the strip shown in FIG. 13 will be precisely predetermined as will the spacing between adjacent pilot holes. Die stamping of electrical connecting devices is a precise and exacting art and extremely close tolerances are commonly held on the parts as a matter of routine in order to ensure consistently high quality and performance.
  • the sections 45 of the connecting devices 9, by means of which they are joined to the carrier strip are scored or otherwise weakened so that the individual connectors can be broken from the carrier strip 43.
  • the scoring can take the form of a notch extending parallel to the edge of the carrier strip and having a depth sufficient to permit the carrier strip to be cleanly broken from the connectors.
  • the carrier strip 43 is simply bent laterally until the connecting sections between the terminals or connectors in the carrier strip fractures as shown in FIG. 15.
  • FIG. 16 shows a modification which permits the assembly of connecting devices 9 to terminal posts which are located on closely spaced centers, the spacing between adjacent posts in FIG. 16 being one-half the spacing between the posts shown in FIG. 13.
  • the spacing is as in FIG. 16
  • two strips of terminals 43, 43 are positioned against each other with the connecting devices interdigitated and with the carrier strips against each other.

  • two superimposed strips can be positioned on the surface of the jaw portions 53 with the wing portions of the connectors held between adjacent teeth 55.
  • the connectors will then be spaced apart by a distance substantially equal to the spacing between adjacent posts on the panel 2.
  • the jaw 57 has a channel 59 on its underside, which is wider than the carrier strip 43. The jaws do not grip the strips tightly when the handles are closed so that both strips 43, 43 can move laterally by a slightamount to permit the terminals to align themselves precisely with the posts while they are being assembled to the posts.
  • the end of the handle 53 is provided with a slot 61, the width of which is equal to twice the thickness of an individual carrier strip 43.
  • the carrier strips can then be removed by merely locating the strips in this slot and swinging the tool througha slight arc to affect fracture of the carrier strips at the weakened sections 45.

  • Openings 10 and 1011 through 10] of the spring means 9 and 9a through 9f are dimensioned so that the sides of these openings in engagement with section 5 of the post properly engage the sides of the post section to prevent any rotation of the spring means on the post sections and, of course, slits 12 and 120 through 12f prevent the openings 10 and 10a through 10f from being deformed.
  • the legs of the U-shaped stationary member 13b and parts 29 can be clenched onto sides of the post sections thereby increasing the resistance against rotation of the spring means on the post sections.
