Abstract A high-density printed circuit board connector containing a first housing having a strip of contact blades having a plurality of rows of contact blades within the housing. A body of insulating material within the first housing contains at least a plurality of rows of parallel ribs extending between guide members. The ribs are arranged so as to form guide grooves with the narrow sides of said contact blades being guided along its length and being detachably retained in position. A second housing contains a strip of contact springs formed of forked contact springs electrically inserted in the housing of the strip of contact springs. The forked contact springs contain locking springs for insertion in a contact receptacle in said second housing and are detachably locked therein.
A high-density printed circuit board connector comprising: an insulator member formed of a plurality of rows of parallel rib members formed between said insulator member and grooves, formed in said rib members; and a plurality of Electrical contact members formed of a blade member having parallel edge surfaces and parallel flat surfaces, each of said blade members edge surfaces being positioned between a pair of said grooves, each of said contact members being detachably mounted in said insulator member, a locking spring formed in said contact member blade insertable in a recess formed in said insulator member, and wherein a terminal portion of said electrical contact is rectangularly bent and positioned against a pair of surfaces of said insulator member, said bent terminal portion together with said locking spring member preventing axial movement of said contact in said insulator member.
