ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector 10 for mating two blade-shaped members, such as dual voltage bus bars 84, 92 is disclosed. The connector 10 is comprised of first and second terminal elements 12, 40 having body sections 14, 42 secured together with insulating means 38 therebetween. Each first and second terminal element 12, 40 has a first array 24, 52 of spaced cantilevered spring contact arms 26, 54 respectively extending outwardly from a respective leading edge, 20, 48 and a second array 32, 58 of spaced cantilevered spring contact arms 34, 60 extending outwardly from a respective trailing edge, 22, 50. The corresponding spring contact arms of the first and second arrays of terminal elements 12, 40 are interlaced proximate the leading and trailing edges of body members 14, 42 such that spring contact arms 26, 54 of first arrays 24, 52 define a first blade-receiving receptacle 64, and spring contact arms 34, 60 of second arrays 32, 58 define a second blade-receiving receptacle 72, receptacles 64, 70 being aligned with secured together body sections 14, 42 and having first sides 66, 72 and second sides 68, 74 corresponding to body sections 14, 42 of first and second terminal elements 12, 40 respectively.
