Abstract
An electrical connector has a deflectable plate-like butt contact terminal portion carried at one end of a resiliently twistable, generally U-shaped channel which has its other end connected by a web to the mounting portion of the connector. The mounting portion of the connector is generally U-shaped and adapted to be mounted in a hole extending through a support panel. The butt contact terminal portion and channel may have a frontal area which is no greater than that of the mounting portion thereby reducing space requirements. The connector may conveniently be made by bending a sheet metal stamping.
