Electrical connector with a push-in type contact

摘要

An electrical connector includes a housing having outwardly extending sleeves for connection with a corresponding connector. The housing defines an aperture extending through the extending sleeves, and an electrically-conductive contact is retained within the interior space of the housing and extending into the aperture. The electrically-conductive contact has an end comprising a contact portion within the aperture and an opposite end comprising a push-in type contact element. A cap retains the contact within the interior space, enclosing the interior space, and defining a port to allow insertion of a conductor of various construction therethrough.
