An electrical connector system for a pressure sensor which can be sealed to a pressure source and sealed from the environment. The connector system comprises an electrical lead assembly molded into a unitary housing which has integral seals for sealed mating with a cooperative connector housing and for sealed coupling to a positive or negative pressure source.

Pressure sensor connector system

An electrical connector programming tool is provided which is operable 'in-the-field' to program the bus bar of an electrical connector for a flat ribbon cable. The tool includes a tray subassembly adapted to removably retain a connector having a bus bar to be programmed, and a head subassembly having a plurality of selectively extendable tongues adapted to program the bus bar.

Electrical connector programming tool

An electrical socket for a magnetic bubble memory and which is operative to retain the memory in proper electrical contact even in the presence of vibrational and other external forces to which the memory may be subjected during use. The socket comprises a base adapted for mounting on a circuit board and having an array of electrical spring contacts matable with the contacts of a bubble memory module. A cover assembly is pivotally attached to the base and includes a pair of latch arms movable to a closed position to urge the memory module into intimate electrical contact with the socket terminals, the arms being retained in closed position by latches associated with the base. The socket can be electrically grounded via the cover assembly.

Magnetic bubble memory socket

A programmable plug providing selectable interconnections between any terminal pin of the plug and any one or more other pins. The programmable plug comprises an insulating body having an array of electrical terminals each having a pin portion outwardly extending from the body for insertion into an associated socket contact, and a contact pad portion on the top surface of the body. A plurality of posts are provided on the top surface of the body, each being longitudinally disposed between adjacent pad portions and laterally disposed between rows of pads, the posts defining selectable paths for electrical wire connection from any pad to any other pad.

Programmable plug

A carrier socket for leadless chip integrated circuit devices. A flat leadless substrate with a circuit chip thereon is positioned within a housing having spring-loaded contacts mounted therein, each such contact adapted to engage a contact pad on the substrate. A resilient cover engages the housing and holds the substrate against the contacts in a positive manner. The contacts are formed to facilitate electrical connection between the integrated circuit chip and a circuit board. The contacts may be secured to the board by various means such as soldering or planar welding.
