Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
The present invention relates to a process for contacting a multi-pole connector for plug connections with connecting wires. To simplify the process and economise on tooling, a multi-pole connector is divided into plastic sections, one side of which bears cut clips and contact springs secured thereto and the other has correspondingly shaped pressure members. By means of corresponding force-fit inserts, the sections are spaced in a pressing tool. Connecting wires cut to length are inserted into said pre-fitted sections. When the sections are pressed together, the connecting wires are pressed via the pressure members into the cut clips.

Why it's free to use
- Filed September 10, 1996 and granted August 13, 2002. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended September 10, 2016.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by September 10, 2018.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
