Electrical connector grid anchor and method of making the same

摘要

An electrical connector and method of making same includes a bore extending from an open first end of a housing to an opposed second end. An electrical contact formed of a plurality of contact strips with opposed angularly offset ends and fixedly secured in electrical contact with the housing in the angularly offset position by an internal end anchor and an external end anchor. In one aspect, detents are formed in at least one of the contact strips to engage a complimentary recess in a conductive member insertable into the bore and contact to releasably retain the conductive member in the housing.
