ANSCHLUSSVORRICHTUNG FUER EINEN LEITERPLATTENRANDABSCHNITT

摘要

An electrical connector includes an improved dual metal contact comprising a support and an arcuately stressed plate spring having each end fixedly mounted to the support. The spring is adapted to deflect and resiliently flex at its midpoint during engagement of a mating contact, at which time the spring surfaces on both sides of its midpoint resiliently engage the mating contact. The initial deflection of the midpoint of the arcuately stressed spring provides for a low insertion force, and the resilient flexure of the spring provides a redundant contact surface with enhanced contact force between the surface of the spring and mating contact.
