Abstract
A composite connector for use with a perforated circuit board is formed from a preform of electrically conductive sheet metal which is folded to form, at one end of the composite connector, a socket which will make a snap fit in a hole in a circuit board and in which a terminal pin of a circuit component can be resiliently gripped and, at the other end of the composite connector, two bifurcated contacts. The bifurcated contacts are transversely spaced apart and are of such a form that when a length of insulated wire is introduced between the limbs of each bifurcated contact, the limbs will cut through the insulating covering of the wire to effect an electrical connection with the wire at two positions spaced along its length.
