<p>An electrical connector for mating two blade-shaped members, such as dual voltage bus bars (84, 92), is comprised of first and second terminal elements (12, 40) having body sections (14, 42) secured together with insulating means (38) therebetween. Each first and second terminal element (12, 40) has a first array (24, 52) of spaced cantilevered spring contact arms (26, 54) respectively extending outwardly from a respective leading edge (20, 48) and a second array (32, 58) of spaced cantilevered spring contact arms (34, 60) extending outwardly from a respective trailing edge, (22, 50). The corresponding spring contact arms of the first and second arrays of terminal elements (12, 40) are interlaced proximate the leading and trailing edges of body sections (14, 42) such that spring contact arms (26, 54) of first arrays (24, 52) define a first blade-receiving receptacle (64), and spring contact arms (34, 60) of second arrays (32, 58) define a second blade-receiving receptacle (72), the receptacles (64,72) being aligned with secured together body sections (14, 42) and having first sides (66, 72) and second sides (68, 74) corresponding to body sections (14, 42) of first and second terminal elements (12, 40) respectively.</p> |
