A single element electrical connector includes a single conductive contact element having a wire insert end and a wire contact end, comprising a pair of contact tines 134 biased towards a central axis to define a contact pinch point for an exposed core of a wire inserted into the connector. The connector also has at least one contact surface 138, 140 for electrical mating contact with a respective contact element on a component, such as a PCB, on which the connector is mounted. At least one tine has two release tabs 182a, 182b, to allow a wire to be removed from the connector. The connector may be surface mounted on a PCB (Figs 10a-10c), or may be mounted through it (Figs 11a-11c). |
