Electrical connector for electrical equipment or vehicle - has U-shaped groove formed on both surfaces to provide required spring characteristic

摘要

The electrical connector is produced as a metal pressing (2) that has a pair of shaped fingers (5) with a spring characteristic that allows deflection to occur when a contact pin is inset (4). The internal tips of the fingers are profiled (7) to engage the pin. A `U' shaped groove (6) is formed on both surfaces to provide the required spring characteristic. An alternative version has the tips profiled with a dish shaped form. ADVANTAGE - Provides controlled spring contact characteristic.
