Electrical pressure contact

摘要

A pressure contact is capable of providing an electrical connection between a plug connector-pin and a stationary current-supply contact element placed within the internal chamber of a plug socket. A movable conductive member placed within the socket is adapted to be pushed upwardly by the connector-pin in opposition to a torsional spring located along a path which is parallel to the axis of the stationary contact element. The conductive member then moves clear of an end of the spring and moves upward abruptly, under the action of the torsional spring, until a contact element attached to the end of the movable member is applied against the stationary contact element in order to form an electrical connection.
