Contact socket with contact spring, especially for high current applications, has contact spring for bridging electrical contact between socket and contact pin; contact spring is essentially annular with interconnected curved sub-sections

摘要

The contact socket (6) has a contact spring for bridging an electrical contact between the socket and a contact pin. The contact spring is essentially annular with a number of interconnected curved sub-sections. The sub-sections are U-shaped and connected into a meandering structure by spring elements. An independent claim is also included for a contact spring.
