Abstract (en)

[origin: US4516819A] A pressure contact is capable of providing an electrical connection between a plug connector-pin and a stationary current-supply contact means placed within the internal chamber of a plug socket. A movable conductive member placed within the socket is adapted to be thrust rearwardly by the connector-pin in opposition to a first torsional spring located along a path which is parallel to the axis of the contact. The conductive member then moves clear of guide lugs and tilts forward abruptly, under the action of a second torsional spring, until a contact bead attached to the end of the movable member is applied against the stationary contact bead in order to form an electrical connection.
