ABSTRACT:
A connector for electrically connecting a wire to a conductive strip on a face of a printed-circuit board has a dielectric housing formed with a cavity, with a slot extending from the cavity and adapted to receive an edge of the circuit board, and with a hole opening outward from the cavity and adapted to receive the wire. A conductive one-piece spring element in the cavity has a front arm extending at an angle at least partially across the slot and a rear arm extending across the hole, formed with an aperture alignable with the hole, and deflectable between a tensioned position with the aperture aligned with the hole and a rest position with the aperture offset from the hole. The wire is engageable through the aperture and hole in the tensioned position. Alternately the rear arm presses the wire directly against the conductive strip of the circuit board engaged in the slot.
