- ABSTRACT A circuit board having metal eyelets in one end thereof that are the terminals of the electrical circuit on the board is mated with a connector that has a plurality of pairs of male members that a re aligned with and pass into the eyelet holes in the circuit board.
- the male members When the circuit board is inserted into the connector, the male members enter both sides of the holes in the circuit board and, by action of the planar surfaces of the end portions of opposing male members, the male members are forced into pressure contact with the inner wall of the holes thereby completing theelectrical circuit between. the connector and the circuit board.
- This invention relates to electrical connectors and is more particularly related to a new type of circuit board COI'II'ICCIIOI'.
- printed circuit boards are connected to other electrical circuits by mating plated electrical conductors on' the end portion of a printed circuit card with a card edge connector.
- Some of the disadvantages associated with present card edge connectors are: plating the conductors on the printed circuit board is generally expensive (gold plating in wide use); Poor electrical contact begins to occur after prolonged use; and during shock and vibration testing printed circuit boards come out of the card edge connectors.
- the invention is a printed circuit board connector arrangement characterized by a circuit board which has a plurality of electrically conducting eyelets or conduits as terminals on one edge thereof, each of which receives a pair of elongated male contact members that by the configuration of their mating surfaces are forced into pressure contact with the wall of the eyelet in the circuit board hole.
- the electrical connector assembly comprises: .A first member having an elongated end portion which includes an angles surface; a second member having an elongated end portion which includes an angled surface in generally parallel face-to-face relationship with the angled surface of the first member, the second member connected to the first member so that the elongated portion of the first member is generally axially aligned with the elongated portion of the second member, the connecting means providing for resilient movement of each of said members; and a housing or conduit (which is generally mounted on a circuit board) having a passage therethrough which includes a first opening for receiving the first member and a second opening for receiving the second member, the passage having a cross-sectional area larger than the cross-sectional area of one of the members but smaller than the total crosssectional area of both of the members so that when the angled surface portion of the first member is inserted into the housing first opening and the angled surface portion of the second member is inserted into the housing second opening, the angled surfaces, opposing each other, contact each
- FIG. 1 is a partial diagram of the male and female contacts of a circuit board connector assembly.
- FIG. 2 is a partial cross-sectional diagram of the male and female contacts of a circuit board connector assembly in mated relationship.
- FIG. 3 is a partial cross-sectional view of the connector that houses the male contacts.
- FIG. 4 illustrates a cross-sectional view of the connector of FIG. 3 in mated relationship with the circuit board.
- FIG. 5 illustrates a preferred embodiment of an electrical contact.
- FIG. 6 illustrates a connector board and connector that embodies the principles of this invention.
- FIG. 1 illustrates the basic components of this new type of connector.
- Two axially aligned male members 10 each of which has an angled surface portion 11 are arranged in spaced relationship so that a circuit board 5 may pass therebetween.
- the circuit board 5 includes a hole that has an eyelet I mounted therein and a conducting path 3 that is in electrical circuit relationship with the eyelet l.
- the eyelet l is made of electrically conducting material and is pressed or soldered into place.
- the eyelet 1 has been riveted into place and, therefore, includes a lip at both ends.
- a conduit without a lip could be pressure fitted or soldered into position.
- a plated through-hole may also serve the purposes of this invention.
- FIG. 2 illustrates the mated relationship between the elongated members 10 and the eyelet 1.
- An axial force applied to the elongated members 10 in the direction of the circuit board 5 forces the members 10 to contact each other at end surfaces 1 I. Since the angled surfaces 11 are generally in face-to-face parallel relationship, they force the elongated members 10 out of alignment with each other and into the wall of the eyelet 1. Therefore, increasing the axial force on the elongated members 10 increases the force on the inner wall of the eyelet l by the elongated members 10.
- FIG. 3 illustrates a preferred type connector 30 which contains male electrical contacts 10 that accomplish the objects of this invention.
- an outer casing 8 which contains the inner housing 12, the male contacts 10, the roller bearings 14 and confining members 16. Confining members 16 extend through the outer casing 8 thereby supporting the housing 12 away from one wall of the inner casing 8 and permitting the housing 12 to slide back and forth within the casing 8.
- the housing 12 includes an opening 13 for receiving a circuit board. Adjacent to and in line with the opening 13 is a blocking member 17 which is mounted on the wall of the housing 12. The blocking member 17 prevents a circuit board (not shown), which enters opening 13, from entering any further into the housing 12.
- the elongated male members are connected together in a Y-shape wherein one end of the male members is for receiving an electrical conductor to be placed in electrical circuit relationship with a predetermined terminal on a circuit board.
- the other end of the Y which comprises the two male contact members 10, is resilient so that the male contacts may move towards and away from each other.
- the roller 14 and member 16 are confined to the space between the elongated members 10 and the inner walls of the housing 12.
- FIG. 4 illustrates a cross-sectional view of the connector shown in FIG. 3 in mated relationship with a circuit board 5.
- This view illustrates how the housing 12 has been moved further into the casing 8 by the action of the circuit board 5 entering the opening 13 and pressing against member 17.
- the wiping action of the male contacts 10 against the inner wall of the eyelet l cleans the contact surfaces of oxides and helps to assure a low resistance drop between the two surfaces over the life of the connector.
- the connector assembly may be modified to include a detent or catch that will hold the housing 12 in the position into which it has been moved by the insertion of the circuit board 5 into the housing 12.
- FIG. 5 illustrates a preferred embodiment of a pair of male electrical contacts.
- a Y-shaped piece of metal having movable arms 9 and a base portion 15 comprises the male contact.
- the base portion 15 of the Y includes an opening 19 for receiving an electrical conductor.
- the other end of the base portion is hollowed out to give additional resilience to the arms 9.
- the ends of each arm 9 are bent towards each other so that each arm 9 includes an axially elongated portion 10 in axial alignment with the axially elongated portion of another arm.
- elongated portion 10 terminates in an angled surface which makes an angle of about 30 from the end of the elongated portion 10. It is readily apparent that the application of a force against the arms 9 in the direction towards the other arm will result in the contacting of surfaces 11 against each other. When the force against the arms 9 is removed, the arms 9 will return to their original position.
- FIG. 6 illustrates a separable connector which includes a circuit board 5 and a socket 30 that receives the circuit board 5, the socket being the terminal portion of a plurality of electrical wires (not shown).
- a connector assembly comprising:
- a first elongated member having an end portion with an angled surface

- An electrical connector assembly comprising:
- a receptacle for receiving a plug said receptacle including:
- a first elongated electrical conductor having an end portion with an angled surface

- An electrical receptacle for connecting a first electrical conductor to a second electrical conductor which comprises:
- a housing having an opening therein for receiving said first electrical conductor

- said means including means for receiving said second electrical conductor, said first electrical conductor that is inserted into said housing opening including an opening that receives said first and second elongated members when said first conductor is inserted in said housing opening;
