Abstract
Abstract A multi-wire electrical interconnecting circuit member having a multi-wire matrix of insulated wires mechanically terminated on the multi-wire electrical interconnecting member. Wire retaining members positioned on the multi-wire electrical interconnecting member terminate the wires and establish a gas-tight electrical connection therewith. Each of the wire retaining members includes means for engaging a wire with sufficient force to penetrate any insulation thereon and establish and maintain a gas-tight electrical connection with the conductive core of the wire.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
136 words
A method of mechanically terminating the insulated wires of a multi-wire electrical interconnection circuit member, comprising the steps of: scribing wires on the circuit member to form a multi-wire matrix; selecting positions in the multi-wire matrix where an electrical connection is desired; gripping the insulated wires of the multi-wire matrix and said circuit member at each successive selected position with a gripping member to lock said gripped insulated wires to said circuit member and to prevent movement thereof; applying sufficient gripping force to the multi-wire matrix and said circuit member at each successive selected position to provide individual gas-tight electrical connections between said gripping member and said insulated wires; and permanently maintaining the applicaton of sufficient gripping force to said gripping member for providing permanent gas-tight electrical connections at the selected positions of the multi-wire matrix.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
136 words
A method of mechanically terminating the insulated wires of a multi-wire electrical interconnection circuit member, comprising the steps of: scribing wires on the circuit member to form a multi-wire matrix; selecting positions in the multi-wire matrix where an electrical connection is desired; gripping the insulated wires of the multi-wire matrix and said circuit member at each successive selected position with a gripping member to lock said gripped insulated wires to said circuit member and to prevent movement thereof; applying sufficient gripping force to the multi-wire matrix and said circuit member at each successive selected position to provide individual gas-tight electrical connections between said gripping member and said insulated wires; and permanently maintaining the applicaton of sufficient gripping force to said gripping member for providing permanent gas-tight electrical connections at the selected positions of the multi-wire matrix.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
The method claimed in claim 1, including the step of: coating the circuit member with an adhesive prior to scribing the wires thereon.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
The method claimed in claim 1, wherein: the selected positions of the multi-wire matrix correspond to the holes formed in the circuit member.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
The method claimed in claim 1, wherein: the gripping and force applying steps are performed simultaneously.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
27 words
The method claimed in claim 3, wherein: the wires scribed on the circuit member which intercept the holes are offset relative to the center of the holes.
