Abstract
A connector for connection to bus conductors comprises terminals that have a pair of contact sections mounted on supple springs. The contact sections are for biasing against exposed conductors of a bus line. The redundancy provided by the two remotely spaced contact sections ensures high connection reliability, in particular in view of the exposure of the bus line conductors to dirt or damage to the contact surface.
