Moulded, plug-in connectors with crimped terminations Explanation: I suspect that the subject is about Molex: One of the largest connector manufacturers in the world. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 hrs 51 mins (2004-08-01 13:38:47 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Before the War, Bakelite was the most popular material used for Terminal Blocks. With Bakelite being required for war efforts [for equipment used in war], its usage was restricted. In moulded, \'stamped\' connectors, the conductors are \'stamped\' or crimped using pressure to connect metal to metal. Please also see: http://www.deco-echoes.com/bakelite.html |
