ABSTRACT:
A device for making electrical connection in which the device can serve either as a clip or a plug. The device includes a pair of pivotally interconnected jaws which can open and be clipped onto a wire or electrical terminal, the jaws being biased toward each other. In one embodiment, each jaw is provided near its outer surface with an electrically conductive member defined by one or more resilient electrical contact elements which extend longitudinally of the corresponding jaw. The elements of each member are integral with a pair of semi-circular bands which are secured in any suitable manner, such as by soldering or spot welding, to the outer surface of the respective jaw. When the jaws are closed, the members mate with each other at the side edges to form a banana plug which can be inserted into a jack or other tubular recess. In another embodiment, the jaws have integral contact elements thereon which define a banana plug configuration when the jaws are closed. The connector is provided with a tubular extension on one of the jaws thereof for use as a jack to receive the plug formed by the jaws and members of a second, substantially identical connector or a conventional banana plug whereby two or more connectors can be ganged for electrical interconnection.
