ABSTRACT:
The contact member defines a channel having a base from which project side walls bowed in portions of which define wire slots. Inwardly convergent wings surmounting each wire slot have insulation severing edges. When a lead is forced into the channel the edges sever the insulation of the lead so that the crests of the bowed portions engage the core of the lead. The wings are then bent across the channel to hold the lead down therein. The portions merge with dimples in the base so that the side walls and the base are continuous as seen in cross section through the wire slots, so that the rigidity of the contact member and the contact force exerted against the core, are improved.
