ELECTRICAL PIN-TYPE CONTACT

摘要

First and second electrical contacts are arranged to be electrically interconnected. The first contact (400) includes a mateable brushtype portion (430). The second contact (500) is pin-type and includes a tapered nose section designed to penetrate the brush to mate, the tapered nose section having a plurality of V-shaped grooves (534) disposed circumferentially therearound and which extend linearly rearwardly from the apex and radially outwardly from the nose axis. Each groove guidingly receives one of the conductive brush wires (431) and forces the wire to spread radially outward during mating engagement. The nose section may be convoluted wherein the grooves spiral rearwardly from the apex.
