<p>An electrical connector assembly (10) includes a body (20) and a wing member (30). Body (20) includes two hook sections (22, 23), and an aperture (24) for receiving a conductor (12) therethrough, and a spring section (26) for undergoing stress when the connector assembly is fully assembled. Wing member (30) includes a cup for engaging conductor (12), bearing surfaces (33) for engaging conductor (13), and U-shaped spring bends (34), and spring bends (36). When in the fully assembled state, wing member (30) will undergo positive deflection and will induce a negative deflection in body (20). However, because of its positive deflection, and the fact that body (20) will not undergo creep stress, wing member (30) will take up for the loss in stress thereby maintaining contact normal forces between the body (20), wing member (30) and conductors (12, 13).</p> |
