Abstract
Abstract A dual readout SIMM socket (10) has been disclosed. The socket (10) includes a housing (12) having panel receiving slots (14), terminal slots (16) transverse and open to panel slots (16) and terminals (13) positioned in the terminal slots (16). The terminals (13) include an S-shaped spring section extending outwardly from one edge (50) of a base section (44) with a depending arm (68) extending into the panel slot (16) for electrical engagement with traces on a circuit panel.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
90 words
A dual readout SIMM socket (10) for modules having separate circuit traces on both surfaces, the socket (10) includes a housing (12) having a module-receiving slot (14) and terminals (13) disposed in terminal-receiving slots (16) which are normal to and intersect the module-receiving slot (14), characterized in that the terminals (13) include a base section (44) with a S-shaped spring section (64) on one edge (50), the spring section (64) having a depending arm (68) with a contact point (72) on an edge (74) extending into the module-receiving slot (14).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
90 words
A dual readout SIMM socket (10) for modules having separate circuit traces on both surfaces, the socket (10) includes a housing (12) having a module-receiving slot (14) and terminals (13) disposed in terminal-receiving slots (16) which are normal to and intersect the module-receiving slot (14), characterized in that the terminals (13) include a base section (44) with a S-shaped spring section (64) on one edge (50), the spring section (64) having a depending arm (68) with a contact point (72) on an edge (74) extending into the module-receiving slot (14).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
37 words
The socket (10) of claim 1 characterized in that the terminal-receiving slots (16) are defined by transverse walls (22) and a center wall (28) and includes a support retaining bar (24) extending between the transverse walls (22).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
52 words
The socket (10) of claim 2 characterized in that the terminals (13) are retained in the terminal-receiving slots (16) by retaining barbs (52) on a retaining post (48) on an edge (50) of the base section (44) and extending between and engaging a housing sidewall (26) and a support retaining bar (24).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
40 words
The socket (10) of claim 2 or 3 characterized in that the terminals (13) are stabilized in the terminal-receiving slots (16) by a stabilizing post (58) on an edge (50) of the base section (44) and engaging the centerwall (28).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
27 words
The socket (10) of claim 1, 2, 3 or 4 characterized in that the S-shaped spring section (64) decreases in width outwardly from the base section (44).
