ABSTRACT:
A connector for making electrical contact with a printed circuit board includes a pair of contact members which are disposed in a housing. The contact members have cantilevered spring sections which engage each other to complete an electrical circuit. The cantilevered spring sections diverge from their area of engagement and extend through slots in interior walls of the housing. The cantilevered spring sections have T-shaped end sections which span the slots and are engageable with the interior walls of the housing to prevent the contact members from moving out of the slots and being trapped between the interior walls of the housing. The cantilevered spring sections of the contact members have arcuate connector sections which have their centers of curvature located between the contact members. In addition, the cantilevered spring sections have arcuate contact sections which curve in a direction opposite the direction of curvature of the connector sections.
