Abstract: A connector for electrical terminals has a housing within which is accommodated a rotary and axially movable first terminal carrier which constantly is biased by a spring to move axially of the housing toward a second terminal carrier which is rotatably assembled with the housing and is drivingly coupled to the first carrier to impart rotation thereto. Discontinuous flanges on the housing and the first carrier disable axial movement of the latter in one position of rotary adjustment thereof and in a second position of rotary adjustment enable axial movement of the first carrier toward the second carrier. The second carrier has discontinuous flanges which cooperate with the discontinuous flanges on the housing in the second position of rotary adjustment of the carriers to prevent separation of the second carrier from the housing. The terminals carried by the carriers confront one another and engage a resilient, compressible pad of elastomeric material containing electrically conductive particles which establish a conductive path between the confronting terminals. The terminals themselves preferably are integrally formed at the free ends of wire conductors.

Abstract translation: 用于电端子的连接器具有壳体，在该壳体内容纳旋转和可轴向移动的第一端子托架，该第一端子托架不断地被弹簧偏置以使壳体轴向移动到与壳体可旋转地组装的第二端子托架，并且驱动地联接到 第一载体以使其旋转。 壳体上不连续的凸缘和第一载体阻止后者在其旋转调节的一个位置中的轴向运动，并且在旋转调节的第二位置中使得第一载体能够朝向第二载体轴向移动。 第二载体具有不连续的凸缘，其在载体的旋转调节的第二位置中与壳体上的不连续凸缘配合，以防止第二载体与壳体分离。 载体承载的端子彼此面对并且接合包含导电颗粒的弹性可压缩弹性材料垫，其在相对的端子之间建立导电路径。 端子本身优选地一体地形成在导线的自由端处。
