Abstract
An uninsulated contact array of resilient electrically conducting metal with bridging strips at each end to hold multiple conductors in predetermined spaced relation to each other. The bridging strips permit terminal tips at one end of the conductors to be stabbed into a circuit board simultaneously, for subsequent soldering. The other ends of the conductors, having contact ends, are maintained in spaced apart relation by a second bridging strip, the conductors and contacts permitting threading the contact ends simultaneously into multiple recesses of a display holder socket. The display holder socket is so arranged, that curving the resilient conductors increases the contact pressure of the contacts by bowing them. Resilient mounting arms of the contact holder provide for shock proof mounting of the contact holder in a casing by clamping the resilient arms between the casing and cover of an instrument housing.
