More Information
Summary:An electrical connector for electrically connecting a pair of spaced apart, substantially parallel, electrically conductive pin members comprises a hollow housing having opposed, spaced apart cover members and a central hub portion disposed between the cover members. The connector further includes a resilient, electrically conductive contact member which is disposed around the hub portion in a loose fit relationship. The contact member has a pair of opposed edges which are disposed parallel to the mounting direction of the connector, the opposed edges being spaced apart a distance greater than the distance between the spaced apart pin members. During mounting and dismounting of the connector from the pins, the housing hub portion effects an elongation of the contact member such that the contact member has a longitudinal axis parallel to that of the pins.
