Abstract
A composite connector for use with a circuit board is formed from a folded sheet metal preform and has, at one end, a socket in which a terminal pin of a circuit component can be resiliently gripped and, at the other end, a tubular end portion including two bifurcated contacts for displacing the insulating covering of an insulated wire when it is introduced between their limbs. The longitudinally extending free edges of the folded preform in the socket are circumferentially spaced with respect to the longitudinally extending free edges of the folded preform in the tubular end portion. Integral resilient tongues in the socket for effecting electrical contact with a terminal pin of a circuit component are circumferentially spaced with respect to the slots bounded by the limbs of the bifurcated contacts.
