ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector for being electrically coupled to at least one electrical conductor. The connector includes a housing and at least one contact positioned therein and including a tip portion which protrudes from the housing to engage the conductor. Significantly, the contact, initially of a non-stressed configuration, is preloaded within the housing to assume a curved configuration and to engage the respective conductor in such a manner that sound, positive engagement occurs in a substantially non-wiping manner. The housing may thus be stationarily positioned relative to the circuit member, the circuit member able to thus press against the tip portion of the contact to complete coupling. The remaining part of the invention may be electrically coupled to an external conductor, e.g., a cable.
