Abstract
An electrical connector contact strip comprising spaced electrical contacts, a body and fusible elements. The spaced electrical contacts each have a main section and a tab section extending from an end of the main section. The body comprises dielectric material molded onto the contacts and connecting the contacts to each other. The fusible elements are mounted on the tab sections.
Claims20
An electrical connector contact strip comprising:
- spaced electrical contacts, each contact having a main section and a tab section extending from an end of the main section;
- a body comprising dielectric material molded onto the contacts and connecting the contacts to each other;
- and
- fusible elements mounted on the tab sections.
1 more element
An electrical connector comprising:
- a housing;
- and
- at least two rows of electrical connector contact strips connected to the housing, each contact strip having electrical contacts connected to each other by a body comprising dielectric material;
- wherein the contact strips are movably captured by their bodies in the housing.
1 more element
An electronic component assembly comprising:
- a first electronic component comprising a printed circuit board;
- and
- an electrical connector connected to the printed circuit board, the electrical connector comprising a housing and a plurality of contact strips connected to the housing, the contact strips each comprising electrical contacts connected to each other by a body, wherein the bodies are movably captured in the housing such that the bodies can move relative to each other.
A method of assembling an electrical connector comprising steps of:
- forming electrical contact strips, each strip comprising electrical contacts connected to each other by a dielectric body;
- and
- mounting the strips by their bodies to a housing, wherein the bodies are movably captured by the housing.
