摘要

A plug contact device comprises an insulator body provided with a plurality of parallel primary grooves in each of which a contact spring in the form of a strip is located, a front portion of each contact spring providing a contact surface, at least one wall of each primary groove being provided with a projection defining a secondary groove between itself and the bottom of the primary groove, a shoulder being provided in each primary groove rearwardly of the secondary groove, each contact spring being provided with at least one notch having a rear edge, the notch being disposed rearwardly of the front portion of the spring, wherein each spring is locatable in a respective one of the primary grooves by engaging the projection of the groove in the notch of the spring, and then effecting rearward displacement of the spring to lock the front portion of the spring in the secondary groove and to cause the rear edge of the notch to snap over the shoulder.
