Patent Application: Detachable Electrical Connector

A Non-Provisional Patent Application A Title of Invention Detachable electrical connector [This invention based on publicly available information] A Title of Invention Detachable electrical connector Cross-References to Related Applications This invention can be cross referenced to other related pre-existing patent applications. It uniquely comprises of a dual-in-line, detachable electrical connector affixed onto a printed circuit board and detachable socket contacts. It relates to U.S Patent No. 2, 456, 678 that was granted to Smith et al on May 11, 1980 which discloses an electrical connector consisting of a receptacle and fixed contacts. In this invention, the sockets come with components for fixing the receptacle onto the printed circuit. Related applications also suggest diverse ways through which the receptacle contacts that comprise the connector can be affixed onto the circuit board using compliant pin architecture. U.S Patent No. 2, 876,321 awarded to Kristenberg on Dec 12, 1988 depicts a separable connector in which a plurality is inbuilt. It is designed such that its compliant contacts can be press fit into the circuit board. Additionally, U.S Patent No. 3, 456,789 granted to Scott et al, and dated July 7, 1989 discloses an electrical connector whose contacts have mounted pins that fits into holes designed in the printed circuit. Besides, U.S Patent No. 4. 568.900 dates September 22, 1990 describes an electrical connector comprising of a receptacle, but whose contact end points are customized for circuit board communication. Unlike other related applications, the contacts for this connector are soldered into a permanent position. Other Patents with similar design are U.S Patent No. 3, 123, 7889, U.S Patent No. 3,765,800 and U.S Patent No. 4,343,566. Similarly, U.S Patent No.2,455,700 issued to Kimberley et al on February 19, 1984 discloses a receptacle that has inbuilt contacts that are affixed onto the printed circuit board using a soldered extension. U.S Patent No. 3, 250,500 describes an electrical connector whose internal contacts comprise a bent leg purposely for wave soldering onto a conductive surface of the connector’s circuit board. Prior Art further proposes a socket contact that has the potential to do both wiping and a contact position. It is evident that the related applications wherein referenced above falls short of describing, proposing or presenting an electrical connector with a dual inline design, and which like others describes herein is capable of wiping and performing diverse contact functions on a detachable, inserted pin. The invention proposed herein differs from other related applications in the use of dual-in-line contact and the use of a detachable gas tight contact interactive circuit board-connector mechanism. The Background of the Invention (including prior art) The current invention refers to electrical connectors. Specifically, it proposes an electrical connector comprising of a dual-in-line mechanism and a printed circuit board. It comprises of a unique receptacle that consist of a plurality of female contacts designed in a dual-inline fashion. Similar to other prior art discussed herein, it is also capable of performing wipe and contact, especially for male pin contacts that have ...
