Electrical contact for termination to flat conductive member
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An electrical contact comprising:
- a terminating section that terminates a flat conductive member formed by disposing a foil-form conductive part on at least one side of a flat insulating body;
an elastic contact part that elastically contacts said conductive member and has a spring arm that has an embossment with a rounded surface that presses against the conductive member; and
a base that has a substantially circular hole that faces the embossment of the spring arm, and that has a rim about said hole that is contacted in a substantially circumferential state of contact by the conductive part of the conductive member pressed by the embossment,said spring arm extending to a free end and being moveable between a first position and a second position such that, when in the first position, insertion of said conductive member into the electrical contact is permitted, and when in the second position said conductive member is pressed by the embossment, thereby forcing the conductive part against said rim of said circular hole, with anchoring sections of said spring arm free end becoming locked with latching arms of the base.

Abstract
Electrical contact (1) having a terminating section (20) that terminates a foil-form conductive member (60), and an elastic contact part (30) that elastically contacts the conductive member (60). The elastic contact part (30) has: [a] a spring arm (33) that has an embossment (34) with a substantially spherical surface that presses against the conductive member (60); and [b] a substantially circular hole (38) that faces the embossment (34) of the spring arm (33), and that has a rim that is contacted in a substantially circumferential state of contact by the conductive part (62) of the conductive member (60) pressed by the embossment (34).

9. An electrical contact comprising:
-
a terminating section that terminates a flat conductive member having a conductive surface opposite an insulating surface; an elastic contact part having a spring arm with an embossment that contacts the insulating surface; and a base having an opening with a peripheral rim, wherein the embossment is disposed opposite the opening, the conductive surface being positionable on said base and over the opening, the spring arm extending to a free end and being moveable between a first position and a second position such that, when in the first position, insertion of the conductive member into the electrical contact is permitted, and when in the second position, the insulating surface is contacted by the embossment, thereby pressing the conductive surface against the rim of the opening. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
