ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed an electrical connection device for producing an electrically conductive connection between two contact bodies, the device comprising resilient means of a material having good spring properties and a plurality of plate-shaped conductor members of a material with good electrical conductivity. The resilient means may consist of a central strip and a plurality of tongues arranged in pairs and protruding from both sides of the strip. Each conductor member is provided at one of its wide sides, namely its base surface, with a cross-shaped recess receiving part of the resilient element. The resilient element and conductor members are connected together at the free ends of the tongues, the conductor members being longer and wider in plan than the tongues. The conductor members therefore cover a relatively large part of the contact area covered by the device as a whole. The resilient element and the recesses are so arranged that only a small part of the base surface of each conductor member bears against the resilient element. As a result, a high degree of resilience is present in the device notwithstanding the large area covered by the conductor members.
