Abstract:
A molded grid pair is revealed that will protect vulnerable contact arrays from unwanted distortion while in manufacture or in service. These grids are specifically designed to accompany contact arrays, such as those that are described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,098,311.

Claim (Index 16):
An electrical connector header comprising:\n a linear array of electrical contacts; a plastic body molded onto the contacts, and maintaining the contacts in the linear array; and a grid mechanically coupled to the plastic body, wherein the grid includes plural grid fingers, each of the grid fingers protecting tips and the non-engagement surfaces of a respective pair of adjacent of the contacts; wherein the contacts have alternating orientation of engagement surfaces for mating with mating electrical contacts of a mating header, and non-engagement surfaces on opposite sides of the contacts, facing away from the engagement surfaces, the engagement surfaces alternating in facing between a first direction, and a second direction that is opposite to the first direction; wherein the contacts are hermaphroditic contacts, configured to mate with contacts having the same shape; wherein the grid also includes a grid body from which the grid fingers extend; wherein the grid body has rectangular openings therein; and wherein the rectangular openings received protrusions of the plastic body, to mechanically couple the grid to the plastic body.
