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: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
96 words
A multi-wire electrical interconnection circuit member, comprising: a multi-wire matrix including insulated wires; and wire-retaining members having a body portion affixed to said circuit member, said body portion having a pin portion extending outwardly from said circuit member, a tapered entrant portion adjacent to said pin and said circuit member and a slotted portion extending downwardly in said body from said tapered entrant portion and away from said pin, said slotted portion including side wall edges for applying an insulation penetration force to the insulated wires therein for forming and maintaining a gas-tight electrical connection therewith.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
96 words
A multi-wire electrical interconnection circuit member, comprising: a multi-wire matrix including insulated wires; and wire-retaining members having a body portion affixed to said circuit member, said body portion having a pin portion extending outwardly from said circuit member, a tapered entrant portion adjacent to said pin and said circuit member and a slotted portion extending downwardly in said body from said tapered entrant portion and away from said pin, said slotted portion including side wall edges for applying an insulation penetration force to the insulated wires therein for forming and maintaining a gas-tight electrical connection therewith.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
110 words
The multi-wire electrical interconnection circuit member claimed in claim 1, in which the multi-wire electrical interconnection circuit member is a multi-hole circuit board wherein: p1 said wire retaining members each having a body portion affixed to said circuit member, said body portion having a pin portion extending outwardly from said circuit member, a tapered entrant portion adjacent to said pin and said circuit member and a slotted portion extending downwardly in said body from said tapered entrant portion and away from said pin, said slotted portion including side wall edges for applying an insulation penetration force to the insulated wires therein for forming and maintaining a gas-tight electrical connection therewith.
