- and
- a plurality of supporting portions formed from the formation of the holes, each projecting forwardly from an inner edge of the hole to an extent that is beyond an outmost point of the contact terminal.
2 more elements
An electrical contact strip comprising:
- a carrier defining a datum plane itself;
- a plurality of contacts having a first length protruding from the datum plane in a thickness direction of the contact strip;
- a plurality of holes defined in the carrier;
- and
- a plurality of supporting portions, each extending from corresponding holes and having a second length protruding from the datum plane in the thickness direction of the carrier, and the second length being longer than the first length.
2 more elements
An electrical contact strip comprising:
- a carrier having a main face defining a datum plane thereof;
- a plurality of contacts unitarily stamped and extending from the carrier and having a distal end spaced from the datum plane with a first distance;
- a plurality of supporting portions, respectively opposite to the corresponding contacts, stamped and extending from the carrier and having a distal tip spaced from the datum plane with a second distance larger than the first distance;
- wherein
- said supporting portion is not a part of the corresponding contact for use but of waste material after removal of the contact from the carrier.
