ABSTRACT:
Electrical paper processing apparatus includes an electrical connector device arranged to make a sliding connection with an electrical contact on a paper magazine which is moved laterally toward the electrical contact or other than forwardly as with a push-in type of plug connector. The electrical connector device is on a housing having an insulative base wall and cover. Extending from the base wall is a post adapted to position a conductive terminal at its foot. A conductive cap with a rounded end and a flanged end telescopes over the post, the rounded end passing through an opening in the cover. A spring compressed between the terminal and the cap yieldingly urges the flange against the inside of the cover so that the cap can retract as the magazine is inserted in paper processing apparatus laterally of the direction in which the cap moves, the spring pressing the cap laterally of the magazine against a corresponding electrical contact when the magazine is fully inserted in the apparatus.
