  • the receptacle is utilized with a flat circuit bearing element having contact pads adjacent at least one of its edges and comprises an elongated one-piece body of insulating material having a slot adapted to receive the edge of the element having the contact pads.
  • the slot is open at the top of the body, extends vertically a dis tance into the body, and exposes at least one contactreceiving pocket containing an electrical contact.
  • the body has an upper, inner surface adjacent to at least one of the longitudinal sides of the slot. The surface extends in a lateral and general horizontal direction away from the slot and serves as a protective cover for the contacts.
  • One or more contacts are mounted in the body below and are partially hidden by the cover. Each contact is disposed under the upper, inner surface of the pocket and has a section which extends a short distance into the slot for engagement with a complimentary contact pad on the circuit bearing element.
  • the adjacent contacts are mounted in their respective pockets such that the terminal portions which extend below the body of insulating material are separated a greater distance than the separation of the engagement portions of the contacts.
  • the body also includes a pair of vertical uprights positioned adjacent the opposite ends of the slot.
  • One of the uprights has a reference means adapted to receive and position the circuit bearing element in a predetermined location in the slot.
  • the other upright has a resilient means adapted to receive the circuit bearing element and forcibly position it against the reference means.
  • the connector receptacle generally indicated at 10 in FIGS. 1 and 2, includes an elongated body portion 12 extending between a pair of oppositely disposed vertical uprights 14 and 15 with opposed inner verti- Cally flat faces 16 and 17.
  • Mounting flanges 18 and 20 are ordinarily provided and these are illustrated as including screw holes 22 and 24, as is common practice in the connector art.
  • the connector body 10 includes a relatively long, narrow, deep slot 26 disposed between uprights l4 and 15 and arranged to receive the leading edge of a mating circuit board. As illustrated, slot 26 extends vertically through body 10 and includes longitudinal side 28 which is usually in the form of a flat, vertical wall.
  • slot 26 Along the opposite longitudinal side 30 of slot 26 are arranged a plurality of contacts illustrated by individual contact 32 which has a yieldable ribbon-like blade portion 33 exposed by slot 26 (as more completely illustrated in FIG. 4). It is understood that a similar arrangement of contacts can also be positioned along side 28 of slot 26.
  • FIG. 3 is a fragmental view of bottom side 34 of body 12 and illustrates contacts 32 and 36 disposed in pockets 38 and 40 which are exposed by side 30 of slot 26.
  • the individual pockets are disposed in a row along side 30 and are open at bottom side 34 to facilitate molding of body 12 and the insertion of the individual contacts into the pockets.
  • pockets 38 and 40 are separated by barrier wall 41 which extends laterally between side 30 of slot 26 and outer body section 42.
  • Each of the metallic contacts consists of a single integral stamping of relatively thin sheet metal.
  • they are formed of a nickel alloy, (nickel-copper-zinc) ribbon stock of about 0.0080.009 inches in thickness which has been goldplated to improve electrical conductivity.
  • each contact is formed as a flat blade and includes a shank or mounting portion 46 to rigidly secure the contact in the body of insulating material, a terminal portion 48 for connection to a lead-in wire or other conductor by wire wrapping, soldering or the like, and a yieldable engagement portion 50 with a rounded bow 51 as a nose section for engagement with a contact pad on the circuit board element.
  • Engagement portion 50 also includes upper arm 52 positioned against surface 54 of projection 56 which serves as a stop member to limit the distance that the engagement portion projects into slot 26.
  • Lower arm 53 extends rearwardly away from slot 26 and is integrally interconnected with mounting portion 46.
  • a multiplicity of contacts are arranged in one row along slot 26.
  • the slot is about 2 inches long and provides access to 40 contacts in a single row, each contact being about 0.02 inches wide at its blade and terminal portions. Under these conditions, the contacts are separated by about 0.03 inches. Since this distance would limit accessibility of the terminal portion of each contact for electrical connections, the mounting portions of adjacent contacts are also spaced laterally apart in respect to the longitudinal side 30 (FIG. 1) of the slot to substantially increase separation of the terminal portions.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates the mounting of contact 36 (FIG. 3) in pocket 40 and the separation between terminal portion 48 of contact 32 illustrated in FIG. 4 and terminal portion 59 of contact 36.
  • the terminal portions are separated laterally about 0. l 0 inches and those in the same row are separated by about 0.08 inches which are substantially greater than that (0.03 inches) for the engagement portions of the adjacent contacts.
  • FIG. 6 is an enlargement of a portion of FIG. 3 prior to insertion of the contacts and illustrates a lower view of pockets 38 and 40.
  • the pockets include T-shaped recesses 58 and 60 with associated cross members 61 and 62 which are laterally offset with respect to each other and provide surfaces for mounting the contacts.
  • cross member 61 is disposed adjacent to side 30 of slot 26 with stem 63 sized to accept passage of engagement portion 50 during mounting of the contact extending laterally away from slot 26 a distance generally equal to the distance between the curved outer surface of the wide radius bend of bow 51 and the lower extremity of the engagement portion of contact 36 shown in FIG. 5.
  • Recess 60 is positioned so that the cross member 62 is laterally separated from cross member 61 of recess 58 and stem 64 extends between cross member 62 and side 30 of slot 26.
  • the distance of stem 64 is generally equal to the distance between outer curved surface of wide radius bend and the vertical supporting member of the mounting shank of contact 32 shown in FIG. 4.
  • the distance between the cross members of recess 58 and recess 60 is generally equal to the separation between the tenninal portions of adjacent contacts.
  • a dummy circuit board is positioned in the slot and serves to force the engagement portion of each contact in a direction away from the slot so that the upper tip of the contact fits into the recess a distance beyond the abutment shoulder. If the contact were inserted in its unloaded condition without the presence of the dummy circuit board, the upper tip would be positioned too far into the slot and the tip would not fit into the recess. After the contact has been mounted, the dummy circuit board is removed and the upper tip engages the abutment shoulder, causing the engagement portion to be in a biased condition.
  • FIG. 7 a contact similar to that shown in FIG. 5 is illustrated.
  • the contact includes an engagement portion 70 with an upper arm 71 of bow 72 and a lower arm 73 extending downward at an incline from how 72.
  • Integral with engagement portion 70 is a horizontal beam member 74 and a relatively rigid vertical support 75 of the contact mounting shank.
  • the contact is a single, integral sheet metal stamping of relatively thin conductive metal.
  • the support includes oppositely disposed coplanar flanges, one illustrated as 76, in the same plane as the web 77 of the support.
  • Outer irregularly shaped surfaces, illustrated by barbed surface 78, are provided to bite into the opposite end surfaces 66 and 68 of cross member 58 (FIG. 6) and rigidly secure the contact in the pocket.
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 are cross sections of vertical uprights 14 and which act to guide and position the circuit board element into slot 26.
  • Upright 14 includes a reference means illustrated as vertical surface 80 for locating the circuit board element in a predetermined position in respect to the horizontal positions of the contacts in slot 26. Spacing between contacts is only a small fraction of an inch and therefore, the exact positioning of the circuit board element is important to the proper functioning of the receptacle. Since upright 14 is an integral part of one-piece body 12, references surface 80 can be formed in a predetermined location on body 12 during the molding operation.
  • Upright 15 is provided with spring 82 which serves as resilient means to force the circuit board element against the reference surface 80 of upright 14 in FIG. 8.
  • Upright 15 is further provided with side means illustrated by side wall 95 which laterally directs the circuit board element resiliently against spring 82 during insertion of the element between the uprights 14 and 15 and when the element is positioned in the slot.
  • spring 82 is shaped in the form of a bow 83 with downward extending elongated arms 84 and 85. Arm 84 is positioned coextensive with the vertical side wall 86 of upright 15 and includes locking tab 87 in the notch 88 on the lower extremity of vertical side wall 86 of upright 15.
  • Extending on the other side of the bow 83 is an elongated bowed arm in abutment engagement with a vertical shoulder 85 in abutment engagement with a vertical shoulder 89 in the base of the receptacle thereby resiliently restraining arm 85 from movement towards vertical face 16 of upright 14.
  • the spring 82 is received in a recess of upright 14 and that the wall 95 on the upright includes guide means for aligning the board or circuit bearing element with the spring.
  • a dummy circuit board (not shown) is first positioned in the receptacle forcing the elongated arms 84 and 85 closer together.
  • the receptacle is polarized to accept the circuit board element in a predetermined orientation.
  • Various portions of the receptacle can be formed to provide the desired polarization.
  • uprights 14 and 15 can include vertical surfaces of unequal lengths to mate with corresponding surfaces on the circuit board element.
  • Slot 26 can include a stop member on one of its ends for the same purpose.
  • a receptacle for a flat circuit-bearing element having contact pads adjacent at least one edge thereof comprising:
  • a one-piece body of insulating material having a slot for receiving the edge of the element having said contact pads, the slot having opposite ends and-a pair of vertical uprights integral with the body and positioned adjacent the opposite ends of the slot, one'of the uprights including reference means for receiving and locating the element in a predetermined position in the slot and the other upright including resilient means for receiving the element and forcibly positioning it against the reference means, said other upright including side means for laterally directing said element resiliently against said resilient means when said edge of said element is in said slot, said resilient means including a pair of spaced-apart arms and an upper bow joining said arms, one of said arms facing and resiliently restrained from movement towards said reference means, said resilient means including spring means having a lateral ear portion and said other vertical upright including a restraining abutment in juxtaposition with the ear portion for retaining the spring means in the upright.
