Splice connector’s unisex design eases electronic assembly

Applications such as stereo equipment, appliances, medical equipment, and automotive electronics require their wire connections to be not only sturdy enough to withstand such harsh environments, but flexible enough to facilitate assembly and repair processes. The Flat-Snap splice connectors accomplish this with a unique design that appears simplistic, but actually went through about 10 design changes before the final prototype was ready.

Sporting a unisex design, the Flat-Snap connectors basically mate with themselves by overlaying the two parts and pulling them away from each other until they snap into place. Reversing the motion disconnects the two. The connectors rapidly mate and unmate without force or performance degradation, without requiring cutting or recrimping wires.
