Abstract
An electrical connector is used in combination with an electrical circuit board having an active element and formed with a row of throughgoing contact holes and a multiconductor cable having a plurality of wires each having a core conductor. The connector has a dielectric body formed with a row of parallel and outwardly open contact seats, a row of parallel and outwardly open wire seats aligned with and extending transversely across the contact seats, and an outwardly open pocket traversed by the contact seats and dimensioned to hold the circuit board with its holes aligned with the contact seats. Respective contacts in the contact seats each have a pointed tip engaged through the respective hole of the board in the seat and poking in the respective wire seat into the respective wire and into contact with the conductor thereof.
