DEFINITION
Classification: 439/752
Secured by superposition of insulating body parts:
(under subclass 733.1) Electrical connector wherein the metallic contact, terminal, or other conductor-securing means (hereinafter referred to as metallic connector part) is attached or fastened to the insulating body during the assembly of the insulating body which is initially composed of separate and distinct segments or sections; the segments or sections of the insulating body, when assembled into a whole body, have at least one retaining shoulder or other retaining formation formed on the metallic connector part to retain the metallic connector part to the insulating body when it has been fully assembled into a whole body.
(1) Note. Also included herein is a connector in which the various parts of the insulating body have generally parallel matching faces and the metallic connector part is retained in the insulating body by pressure applied by the parallel matching faces of the assembled insulating body parts.
