Electrical Connector and Method for Producing an Electrical Connector
First Claim
1. An electrical connector comprising:
- a housing havingtwo contact receiving passageways spaced a first distance apart from each other, andtwo contacts, each of which are positioned in one of the contact receiving passageways; and
a splayed member connected to the housing, and havinga terminating end distal to the contact receiving passageways,a contacting end proximate to the contact receiving passageways, andtwo opposite dividing surfaces in contact with the contacts, being spaced apart a second distance at the terminating end and taper down to a smaller third distance in a direction towards the contact receiving passageways.

Abstract
An electrical connector is disclosed having a housing and a splayed member connected to the housing. The housing has two contact receiving passageways spaced a first distance apart from each other, and two contacts, each of which are positioned in one of the contact receiving passageways. The splayed member has a terminating end distal to the contact receiving passageways, a contacting end proximate to the contact receiving passageways, and two opposite dividing surfaces in contact with the contacts. The two opposite dividing surfaces are spaced apart a second distance at the terminating end and taper down to a smaller third distance in a direction towards the contact receiving passageways.

14. A method for producing an electrical connector comprising the steps of
(a) displacing a housing along a longitudinal direction towards a splayed member, the housing having two contact receiving passageways spaced a first distance apart from each other, and two contacts, each of which are positioned in one of the contact receiving passageways, and the splayed member having a terminating end distal to the contact receiving passageways, a contacting end proximate to the contact receiving passageways, and two opposite dividing surfaces in contact with the contacts, being spaced apart a second distance at the terminating end and taper down to a smaller third distance in a direction towards the contact receiving passageways; - and
(b) splaying the contacts apart as the housing is displaced. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
