Abstract: A connector of a type which receives a mating knife contact between the prongs of a forked contact member of the connector in such a manner that a twisting of the prongs of the connector exerts resilient electrical contact pressure upon the knife contact. The present invention achieves a more reliable electrical contact by the twisting action of the prongs of the receptacle upon insertion of the knife contact. The connector of the present invention comprises a body of insulating material having bearing surfaces which support a knife contact at an angle with respect to a pair of contact forks, such that upon insertion of the knife contact between the fork prongs a twisting of the prongs, rather than a spreading thereof, produces the contact engagement with the knife. The connector is designed such that it contains a forked receptacle at one end, a knife contact at the other, and a soldering lug protruding laterally thereof, all three portions of the contact member being of single-piece stamped construction. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the knife portion of the connector is designed to matingly engage the receptacle portion of a like connector.

Abstract translation: 一种类型的连接器，其接合在连接器的叉形接触构件的插脚之间的配合刀接触，使得连接器的插脚的扭转在刀接触时施加弹性的电接触压力。 本发明通过插入刀接触件时插座的插脚的扭转动作实现更可靠的电接触。 本发明的连接器包括绝缘材料体，其具有支撑表面，该支承表面相对于一对接触叉以一定角度支撑刀接触，使得当在叉形插头上插入刀接头后，叉子的扭转， 而不是其扩展，产生与刀的接触接合。 连接器被设计成使得它在一端包含一个叉形容器，另一端包括一个刀片接触件，另一端包括一个刀片接触件，以及一个横向突出的焊接接头，接触件的所有三个部分都是单件冲压结构。 在本发明的优选实施例中，连接器的刀部分被设计成与相似的连接器的插座部分配合地接合。
