Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
115 words
An electrical interconnection system comprising a housing having a pair of superposed sections, adapted to receive therein a plurality of conductored cables, means for exerting compressive forces at preselected areas of said cables to effect electrical interconnection of said cables with other electrical elements, said cables having preselected exposed contact areas, said lastnamed means including means for effecting electrical connection of selected contact areas of one cable with selected contact areas of an adjacent cable, said contact areas having electrical components secured thereto and means for effecting electrical connection between the conductors of certain layers of said cables with certain other electrical components by piercing of the multi-layered cable as the connector housing is assembled.
