Abstract (en)
[origin: US4458970A] An electrical contact comprises first and second interconnectable portions (41 and 42), said first portion (41) including a tab (2) for connection to an electrical conductor by relative movement of said tab and said conductor along a first axis (3). A pin (6) is rigidly fixed to said tab and extends along a second axis (7) parallel to said first axis and offset therefrom by a first predetermined offset ( alpha ). Said second contact portion (42) comprises a head (8) suitable for receiving said first portion in a plurality of positions relative a third axis (14). Said third axis constitutes a middle axis of said second contact portion, and said first portion is receivable at a plurality of distances up to a second predetermined offset on either side of said third axis. Said first and second predetermined offsets are substantially equal, and said head has a connector member (15) extending therefrom along a fourth axis which is substantially the same as said third axis. The idea is to put a connector at a connector pitch on the end of a ribbon cable having conductors disposed at a slightly different cable pitch.
