ABSTRACT:
An improved custom terminal connector that may be used in electrochromic devices, the connector comprising an elongated unitary member integrally connected with a U-shaped crimping member. The custom terminal connector may be used to supply a potential from a power supply to a bus bar clip of an electrochromic device. The elongated unitary member has a resilient backwall section connecting a plurality of first resilient sections and a plurality of second resilient sections laterally spaced from the plurality of first resilient sections. The first and second resilient sections are integrally connected with the resilient backwall section and are laterally spaced from one another such that the elongated unitary member generally forms a "C" and the pressure points of the custom terminal connector on the bus bar clip generally oppose one another. The U-shaped crimping member has an insulation crimp to aid in securing the wire to the custom terminal connector, and a wire crimp for ensuring electrical conductivity between the wire and the custom terminal connector.
