Abstract:
1. An elongated press-fit conductor assembly comprising: a plurality of elongated, generally flat laminated conductors having respective, mutually adjacent longitudinal edges; a layer of electrically insulating material interposed between each pair of adjacent, laminated conductors; a plurality of press-fit contact members extending from the longitudinal edges of the laminated conductors and distributed along said longitudinal edges for press-fit insertion in respective contact-receiving areas; and a housing enclosing at least a portion of a sandwich structure formed of said laminated conductors and said layers of electrically insulating material, said housing comprising a section with a general U shaped cross-section, wherein legs of said U-shaped cross-section apply a clamping force to opposite sides of said sandwich structure, and wherein a top of said U shaped section covers opposite edges of said conductors located on an opposite side of conductors from said longitudinal edges.
