Abstract:
A rotary electrical wire connector for wiring thin wires to a magnetic head comprising:a housing formed with a plurality of openings;a rotatable shaft extending through said housing;a plurality of compression springs formed with windings disposed within said openings of said housing;a like plurality of eccentric cams mounted on said shaft for stretching said compression springs;a thumb wheel for rotating said shaft in discrete steps and for turning said eccentric cams simultaneously;a like plurality of key members, each of said key members having one end pressed against a respective cam and the other end attached to a respective compression spring, said cams compressing said key members individually thereby stretching respective ones of said compression springs; andmeans for inserting bare conductive wires into said windings of said compression springs so that said wires are tightly trapped when said springs are compressed.
