ABSTRACT:
The electric multi-contact connector comprises a pair of plugs, each carrying a plurality of elongated contact members mounted in spaced-apart relationship on an insulating base. Each contact has an unbiased prong-end for mating with an opposite unbiased prong end, and an opposite terminal-end for connection to an electric conductor. The prong-ends of the contacts of both plugs are preferably substantially identical in shape. The base is preferably made at least in part of a resilient material, or the contacts are otherwise resiliently mounted on the base. When the plugs are moved into mating engagement, each pair of mating prong-ends forms an abutting pressure contact establishing a mechanical and electrical connection between the two conductors connected to the terminal-ends of the engaged pair of contacts.
