Electrical connector with preloaded contact.

摘要

The connector includes a housing defining a chamber in the latter. At least one electrical contact is positioned within the housing and including a tip portion protruding from the housing. The tip portion is adapted for engaging the electrical conductor with a set force and an opposing end portion securely positioned within the housing. The contact has an initial overall first length and corresp first width prior to being positioned within the housing. The latter engages the contact at three spaced locations on the contact so as to preload the contact within the housing such that the contact will possess a second.
