Abstract
An electrical connector for maintaining electrical contact in electronic circuitry comprises a wire formed helix, the wire being substantially square in cross-section. One end of the helix is open for receiving wire leads. The helix tapers from the open end to the opposite end thereof. The edges of the square wire provide the helix with an internal and external thread. In one alternate embodiment the connector includes an integral probe member which extends from the tapered end of the helix. In another embodiment the connector is a continuous helix having two receiving ends, the helix tapering from each receiving end to an intermediate point therebetween. In a further embodiment the connector comprises two oppositely wound helixes each having an open receiving end. Each helix tapers from its receiving end to a tapered end. The connector further includes an extension member which is disposed between the helixes and is integral with the tapered end of each helix.
