Abstract
A contact spring assembly is constructed of a planar base plate integrally formed with a pair of opposed spring legs upstanding therefrom and a separate pin-like connection part attached to the undersurface of the base plate and extending downwardly therefrom in a direction opposite from the upstanding course of the spring legs. Opposed axial ends of the base plate are formed with planar flange surfaces which extend outwardly from the adjacent ends of the spring legs. A two piece strip housing is formed with upper and lower parts which assemble together to receive the contact spring assembly suitably therein with the flange surfaces of the base plate locked against upward or downward longitudinal movement by virtue of sidewall recesses. When the connection part is pressed into the grid bore of a printed circuit board, the impression force is transferred from the upper part of the strip housing over the flange surfaces to the base plate and from the base plate to the connection part, without stressing the contact spring legs.
