Abstract
Abstract The disclosure relates to an assembly of electrical contacts with a center conductor and a ground conductor on a coaxial cable, the assembly including further a one-piece housing having two parts hinged to each other for closure together, thereby terminating the conductors to the contacts and providing an enclosure for the terminated conductors. The contacts protrude from the housing for pluggable connection into apertures of a printed circuit board.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
137 words
In a container for attachment to a coaxial cable having a pair of electrical contacts secured respectively to a center conductor and a ground conductor of the cable and adapted for pluggable conection into a matrix of substrate apertures lined with conductive material, the improvement comprising: a dielectric housing formed in two sections hinged together for enclosure on said cable, each contact having a slit plate conductor receiving portion and a portion protruding from said housing in the form of a central blade flanked on either side by spring blade portions integrally joined to said center blade and flaring outwardly toward their free ends away from said center blade, whereby both flanking blades are progressively flattened from their flaring configurations flatly against said center blade upon pluggable connection of said contact protruding portions into said substrate apertures.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
66 words
The structure as recited in claim 1, wherein, one section of said connector includes a side opening having an undercut surface, the other section of said connector includes a latch portion entering said opening and lockably engaged with said undercut surface, said cable being displaced into said opening by said latch and being compressibly gripped by said latch and against a side wall of said opening.
