Semi-permanent connection between a bus bar and a connector contact

摘要

A connector (1) for providing semi-permanent connection between a bus bar and a connector contact (4) is formed by overlapping a bus bar tab (3) with at least one contact tail (5) of the connector contact (4) and gripping the overlapped bus bar tab (3) and the contact tail (5) with a spring clip (20). In this manner, the spring clip (20) produces the pressure required to establish adequate contact between the bus bar tab (3) and contact tail (5). According to another feature, the junction including the bas bar tab (3), the contact tail (5) and the spring clip (20) are isolated by covering them with an electrically insulating sleeve (25), this sleeve (25) also seving to retain the spring clip (20) in position.
