ABSTRACT:
Multi-contact electrical connector for connecting a first plurality of conductors to a second plurality of conductors comprises an insulating housing having a plurality of side-by-side contact terminals therein, each terminal being a one-piece stamping having first and second contact portions for engagement with a first and second conductor respectively. The first and second contact portions also have first and second bypass contact surfaces thereon which are against each other. The spring means for maintaining contact force comprises a spring loop which extends circuitously from the first contact portion to the second contact portion. In use, the spring loop maintains the contact forces at all of the contact interfaces and the current flows from the first conductor through the first contact portion, through the bypass contact surfaces, through the second contact portion, and to the second conductor. The spring loop does not serve as a current path and self-inductance in the contact is thereby minimized.
