Substrate Straightening Adaptor For Electrical Connector Assembly
US Patent:
4204737, May 27, 1980
Filed:

Appl. No.:
5/873820

Edward S. Faber - Atkinson NH

Abstract:
A molded plastic adapter (10) for an electrical connector assembly (14) includes a rectangular first slot (26) for receiving a terminal support block (12) having electrical terminals (18) mounted therein. Guide portions (30) of the assembled adaptor (10) then overlie portions of the support block (12) and portions of the terminals (18) in protective relationship and are spaced apart to define a rectangular substrate-receiving second slot (32). The guide portions (30) straighten a warped leading edge (16e) of a substrate (16) as the substrate is inserted between the guide portions into the terminals (18) to preclude breakage of the support block (12) and/or bending of the terminals by the warped leading edge. The initial spacing between opposed resilient side walls (22) of the adapter (10) intermediate their ends is reduced so that the side walls produce a friction fit with the support block (12) when the adaptor is assembled to the support block.
