Abstract (en)

[origin: US4540235A] A double flat spring contact provided with an over-spring, in which the double flat spring contact includes connecting elements for an electrical conductor wire and a box-shaped spring arm base which is rectangular in cross section to define a bottom, side walls and a pair of longitudinally divided top cover parts. A spring arm extends forward from each cover part and a pair of spring arms are also connected to the bottom. An external over-spring is seated about in an enclosed arrangement on the spring arm base to be unreleasably secured thereon. The external over-spring includes a box-shaped external over-spring arm base, which is also rectangular in cross section. Connected to and extending forward from the over-spring arm base are over-spring clamp arms that run parallel to the spring arms of the double flat spring contact. The clamp arms press inwardly upon outer surfaces of the spring arms.
