Abstract
An electric connector includes a terminal body defining an interior space. An electric contact is located within the internal space. The electric contact includes a base contact ring that is biased into engagement with the terminal body and an outer ring that is biased into engagement with the terminal body. A contact arm extends from the base contact ring to the outer ring.
Claims20
An electric connector comprising:
- a terminal body defining an interior space;
- an electric contact located within the internal space and including a base contact ring that is biased into engagement with the terminal body, an outer ring that is biased into engagement with the terminal body, and a contact arm that extends from the base contact ring to the outer ring.
An electric connector comprising:
- a terminal body defining an interior space between an interior wall of the terminal body and an outer opening;
- an electric contact located within the internal space and including a base contact ring adjacent the interior wall that is biased into engagement with the terminal body, a plurality of contact arms that extend from the contact base ring toward the outer opening, each of the contact arms angled in an inward direction toward a terminal axis to a contact area and in an outward direction away from the terminal axis to an outer ring that is biased into engagement with the terminal body.
An electric connector comprising:
- a terminal body defining a generally cylindrical interior space between an interior wall of the terminal body and an outer opening;
- an electric contact located within the internal space and including a base contact ring adjacent the interior wall that is biased into engagement with the terminal body, a plurality of contact arms that extend from the contact base ring toward the outer opening, each of the contact arms angled in an inward direction toward a terminal axis to a contact area and in an outward direction away from the terminal axis to an outer contact end;
- an end cap that extends through the outer opening and includes an inner cap end that is located farther from the outer opening than the outer contact end is.
