Abstract
The present invention relates to contact, including a mating end for mating to two or more contacts and a conductive section. The conductive section includes a crimping end which is adapted to receive an electrical conductor and for being crimped thereto and a shaft section which extends between the crimping end and the mating end and includes two legs.
Claims17
Electrical contact, comprising
- a mating end and a conductive section, where the mating end comprises at least two spaced contact receiving sections configured to each respectively receive one of at least two mating contacts of a mating connector, and the conductive section including:
- a crimping end which is adapted to receive an electrical conductor and for being crimped thereto and a shaft section, wherein the shaft section extends between the crimping end and the mating end and includes two legs;
- wherein the mating end comprises an opening for receiving a protrusion of a connector cover.
Electrical contact, comprising
- a first member and a second member mounted to each other by a soldered connection or ultrasonic welding, wherein the first member forms a front mating end of the contact and the second member forms a rear end of the contact, where the mating end comprises at least two spaced contact receiving sections configured to each respectively receive one of at least two mating contacts of a mating connector, wherein the second member has a crimping end adapted to receive an electrical conductor and to be crimped onto the conductor;
- wherein the second member has a shaft section adapted for connecting the crimping end and the mating end which shaft section includes two legs.
Electrical contact, comprising a first member and a second member mounted to each other by a soldered connection or ultra sonic welding, wherein the first member forms a front mating end of the contact and the second member forms a rear end of the contact, wherein the first member is a single folded piece of material adapted for mating to two or more contacts, where the first member comprises at least two spaced contact receiving sections configured to each receive a respective different mating blade of a mating connector, and wherein the second member has a crimping end and a shaft section, the crimping end being adapted to receive an electrical conductor and to be crimped onto the conductor, the shaft section extending between the crimping end and the mating end and including two legs.
