Abstract

1362326 Two-part couplings AMP Inc 21 Feb 1972 [26 March 1971] 7858/72 Heading H2E A resilient terminal 2 of a two-part coupling comprises a web portion 8 with two side walls 10, 12 from which extend contact springs 20, 22 each consisting of a first portion 24 being a planar extension of the corresponding side wall which is bent at 26 to form a free ended portion 28 terminating between the side walls, the portions 28 diverging outwardly to define a V-shaped opening, the springs 20, 22 being of smaller width than the side walls 10, 12. The terminal is formed with crimping ferrules 14, 16 and a resilient tongue 34 and shoulder (32, Fig. 8) for engagement with a housing. The coupling comprises two identical parts each with a housing 6 containing a plurality of the terminals 2 in respective cavities 4 and comprising side walls 80, 82 with hood portions 90, 92 which interfit when two housings are fastened together by a spring loaded screw (95); each housing has an apertured ear (88) at its ends by which it may be mounted on a panel. Each cavity 4 has side walls 48, 50, 52 which are generally flat and uninterrupted and a fourth side wall 54 which has grooves 56, 58 extending adjacent its junctions with the walls 48, 50, a boss 66 and a forward side wall 68 linked to a rear portion 44 by a ramp 70; the groove 58 is widened adjacent the portion 44. A terminal is inserted in a cavity such that the tongue 34 engages the face 67 of the boss 66 and the shoulder (32) engages a shoulder 62 in the groove 58 with the free margins of the side-walls 10, 12 in the grooves 56, 58 respectively; the tips 30 of the contact springs ride over the boss 66 during the insertion and so acquire the correct separation between the portions 28. A bevel 76 guides the contacts of a mating coupling. A plate 104 clamps the wires 18 against a rounded shoulder 118 and is secured to the housing by screws (110, Fig. 1) and a boss (114) on the housing entering an aperture (112) in the plate. A terminal may mate with a dissimilar terminal, for example a post (144) or one (Fig. 12) with a contact portion extending from a base (124) and folded into a generally S-formation..
