| 摘要 |
The invention is directed to an improved, integral female electrical connecting device having unique, reversibly formed resilient inturned fingers depending from associated upstanding side walls and overhanging a generally planar base portion, establishing a multiplicity of interfaces arranged to provide firm electrical and mechanical contact with a selectively dimensioned mating tab resiliently encompassed therewithin. The base, side walls, and the portions of the clasp fingers may be so proportioned relative to each other as to advantageously provide a flexing zone at each of the juncture between adjacent portions. Each of the inturned free ends of the clasp fingers are provided with at least one sharp edge arranged to provide full linear contact with an associated mating tab. The basic structure may be suitably modified by the addition of side tabs and base ribs to increase the contact areas thereof. A generally centrally disposed upstruck portion of the base of the device may be arranged to cooperably detachably engage a complementary mating recessed portion in the mating tab. |
