Tip for forcing contacts to wipe against each other

摘要

The probe includes a body with a terminal end adapted to engage two contact elements formed of electrically conductive material and extend longitudinally from a base and have generally parallel edges and are spring-loaded into electrical contact with each other along the surface between the edges. The arrangement provides sliding movement between the contact elements and their contact surfaces and to afford separation of the contact elements. The terminal end is adapted to be inserted into the connector along a pair of contact elements. The terminal end has a free end and an oblique surface extending along the terminal end towards the free end and adapted for engagement with one edge of the contact elements during insertion of the terminal end for forcing the contact element laterally of the other contact element.
