Contact means for an electrical connector comprises a slotted metallic member having selectively configured leg portions extending from a base portion, each of said leg portions being skewed about its longitudinal axis at a given angle to the plane of the base portion so that the force of a conductor inserted within the slot between adjacent leg portions will cause such leg portions to be rotationally displaced in a similar direction from their original position while providing secure mechanical and electrical engagement between the conductor and the inner edges of the leg portions defining said slot. The rotational displacement of the leg members provides increased slot width variation while maintaining a substantially constant pitch between the leg portion to permit the accommodation of a wide range of conductor sizes therebetween without causing undue stress or permanent deformation of the leg portions. |
