Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to a connector for multi-unit coaxial cable of the type wherein each center conductor has an individual shield and each shield has a separate drain wire. More particularly, the connector includes a plurality of contact members each of which consists of an opposing cantilever contact spring section for mating with contact elements of other electrical circuits, a dual in-line cantilever, torsion bar terminating section for receiving either the coaxial cable center conductor or the drain wire, a housing to hold the plurality of contact members and a strain relief clamp member.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
158 words
A contact member stamped and formed from a coplanar sheet of conductive material, which comprises: a. an elongated flat base having first and second ends; b. means on the first end for engaging contact elements on other electrical circuits; c. a first terminal formed at and from the second end of the base, said end being bent upwardly to provide a vertical portion, a wire-receiving slot extending through the vertical portion and into a portion of the adjacent horizontal base; and d. a second terminal having vertical and horizontal portions relative to the base, a wire-receiving slot extending through the vertical and into the horizontal portions, said second terminal being positioned inwardly from the first terminal and in overlying relation to the base and attached thereto by a section of material extending from the horizontal portion to a side of the base so that the second terminal may be moved independently from the first terminal and the base.
