ABSTRACT:
Electrical connectors and assembly thereof comprising both male and female connectors formed from spring metal material. The assembly is particularly adaptable for use in automatically establishing electrical contact between the terminal of a self-propelled mobile unit and a fixed terminal. The female connector is formed with a constricted throat defined by first and second portions extending from secured ends to the constricted throat. The first and second portions continue from the throat diverging outwardly therefrom to define a pair of lip elements which facilitate entrance of a male connector by guiding the male connector in forcibly expanding the throat. The female connector member by reason of its spring characteristic grips the male connector to ensure an effective contact. At least one of the male or female connectors are of sufficient breadth to compensate for slight misalignment therebetween. A plurality of both male and female connectors are provided to establish primary and secondary circuits between components on the mobile unit and a fixed station.
