Sealing electrical contact

摘要

An electrical contact (10) for insertion into an opening (31) in a housing wall comprises a substantially solid conductive member (20) having a radius smaller than the opening in the housing wall, a pair of substantially planar contact surfaces (18 & 22) on opposing ends of the conductive member, and at least one barb (14 or 16) on the entire periphery of the solid conductive member located between the planar contact surfaces, wherein the barb has a larger radius than the opening in the housing wall.
