Definitions

  • the primary object of the present invention is an improved connector for the interconnection of multi-pin arrays to corresponding contacts.
  • Tabs 172 and 174 project from the cam plate 158 and slide vertically within slots 128b in the rear wall 128 while tabs 176 and 178 slide vertically within slots 166a in the front wall 166 in cap 168.
  • the cap 168 further includes an aperture 169 for receiving the shaft 144 of the pin 142 for external access thereto.
  • the cap 168 has apertures 180 and 182 and base 120 has suitably threaded registering bores 184 and 186.
  • the base 120, cam actuator 132, cam plate 158 and the cap 168 are made of a suitably rigid plastic material.
