Abstract
An electrical connector includes an electrical contact 1, 1' secured in a housing 2. A wire-connecting section 4 connects the contact to an electrical wire and a solder tine contact section 3, 3' extends through an opening 12 in the housing. A contact test plate 8 is located on the contact section 3 within the opening 12 for engagement by a test contact to perform a conductivity test. Posts 9 and protuberances 23 are located at the base of the contact section 3 to secure the contact 1,1' in the housing 2. Section 20 of the plates 18, 19 are arcuate shaped to strenghten the contact section 3'.
Claims20
An electrical connector comprises a dielectric housing, and an electrical contact disposed in the housing having a wire-connecting section and a contact section in the form of plate members having interengaged free ends extending through an opening in the housing and outwardly from a surface of the housing, characterized in that said free ends interengage at the outermost tips thereof, at least one of said interengaging free ends is generally J-shaped and posts are located on said plate members engaging with a wall of said opening securing the contact in the housing.
