Abstract:
A connector to facilitate connection of a cable to a circuit board comprising:a hollow half-cylindrical body having a semi-circular cross-section, the body comprising an inner semi-circular surface, an outer semi-circular surface, a distal semi-circular end surface, a proximal semi-circular end surface, a first lateral surface disposed between a first bisected edge of the inner semi-circular surface and a first bisected edge of the outer semi-circular surface, a second lateral surface opposite the first lateral surface and disposed between a second bisected edge of the inner semi-circular surface and a second bisected edge of the outer semi-circular surface; a bottom flange projection extending along the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical body and adjacent to the proximal semi-circular end surface and the outer semi-circular surface; a first top flange projection extending along the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical body and adjacent to the proximal semi-circular end surface and the first lateral surface; and a second top flange projection extending along the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical body and adjacent to the proximal semi-circular end surface and the second lateral surface.
