Abstract
Abstract A dual in-line socket assembly (10) is disclosed which includes an insulator block (12) having a plurality of primary holes (14) therein, each hole receiving an electrical socket (16). The sockets (16) are adapted to receive pins from integrated circuit chips. At least one of the primary holes (16) has a secondary hole or slot (42) drilled adjacent and contiguous thereto for receiving an electrical lead (26). The electrical lead (26) is connected to a circuit element (22) and the lead (26) forms an interference fit with a corresponding adjacent socket 16.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
67 words
An electrical termination system comprising an insulator block having at least one primary hole drilled therethrough, said primary hole receiving an electrical contact; and at least one secondary hole having a portion contiguous with said at least one primary hole, said contiguous portion being void of insulation, said secondary hole receiving an electrical lead, said contact and said lead forming an interference fit with one another therebetween.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
67 words
An electrical termination system comprising an insulator block having at least one primary hole drilled therethrough, said primary hole receiving an electrical contact; and at least one secondary hole having a portion contiguous with said at least one primary hole, said contiguous portion being void of insulation, said secondary hole receiving an electrical lead, said contact and said lead forming an interference fit with one another therebetween.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
47 words
A system as claimed in claim 1, further including a plurality of primary holes and a plurality of electrical contacts, and at least a second lead, both of said leads being connected to a circuit element, said second lead forming an interference fit with a second contact..
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
13 words
A system as claimed in claim 2, wherein said contacts are socket contacts.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
25 words
A system as claimed in claim 3, wherein a dual in-line integrated circuit package is adapted to be received in said plurality of socket contacts.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
19 words
A system as claimed in any one of claims 2 to 5, wherein said circuit element is a capacitor.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
31 words
A system as claimed in any preceding claim, wherein said electrical contact substantially fills the cross-section of said primary hole and said lead substantially fills the cross-section of said secondary hole.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
31 words
A system as claimed in any preceding claim, wherein said contact includes a terminal portion, and said lead includes a terminal portion, the respective terminal portions being coupled to one another.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
114 words
A dual in-line socket assembly comprising: an insulator block, said insulator block having a pair of raised shoulders; a plurality of primary holes formed through said raised shoulders; a first secondary slot contiguous with one of said primary holes and a second secondary slot contiguous with a second primary hole, said primary holes receiving a plurality of electrical socket contacts; and an electrical circuit element having a pair of leads extending therefrom, said first secondary hole receiving one of said leads and said second secondary hole receiving the other of said leads, said leads forming interference fits with said respective socket contacts, whereby said dual in-line insulator block is integral with said circuit element.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
114 words
A dual in-line socket assembly comprising: an insulator block, said insulator block having a pair of raised shoulders; a plurality of primary holes formed through said raised shoulders; a first secondary slot contiguous with one of said primary holes and a second secondary slot contiguous with a second primary hole, said primary holes receiving a plurality of electrical socket contacts; and an electrical circuit element having a pair of leads extending therefrom, said first secondary hole receiving one of said leads and said second secondary hole receiving the other of said leads, said leads forming interference fits with said respective socket contacts, whereby said dual in-line insulator block is integral with said circuit element.
