Abstract

Fabricating techniques for forming insulated electrical connectors of the type to be subsequently mounted in panel apertures including techniques for simplifying the mold required to form such connectors and improvements in the connector itself and the manner in which that connector grips edges of an aperture in which it is mounted are disclosed. In its preferred form, the insulated electrical connector has a pair of generally flat parallel opposed side walls each provided with staggered notches oppositely extending from opposed side wall edges toward and slightly past one another in an overlapped and interleaved manner to form in the region of notch overlap a pair of slots extending generally parallel to one another and transverse to the notches.
