ELECTRICAL CONTACT FOR AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR

摘要

370-78-0040 ELECTRICAL CONTACT FOR AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR An electrical connector contact in which the contact includes a hermaphroditic body having a forward socket for receiving a plurality of axially aligned wires and a rear socket for receiving an electrical conductor. The wires extend outwardly from the forward socket and are protected in one of the two mating contacts by a sleeve or shroud which is separately manufactured and mounted to the body coaxially therearound and extends forwardly of and radially outside of the axially aligned wires to protect them. The sleeve is mounted to the body by a crimp and protects the wires while providing a housing into which a second contact may be inserted and in which the wires from the two contacts may be intermingled in mated, current-transmitting relationship.
