ABSTRACT:
A reflex bend in a notched elongated plate member forms a compact terminal structure of a connector without requiring soldering, caulking, or crimping. This contact connects to a connecting pin in a three point contact structure. Two contact points are made by a groove near the terminus of the connecting pin that fits into a slot in the contact. A reflex bend in the contact provides resilient force to the bottom of the connecting pin, thereby forming the third contact point. This connector structure is especially useful for small electric contact where insufficient space is available for mechanical and electrical connections.
