Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0198631A2] An electrical connector comprising an electrically insulating body (11), and an electrically conductive terminal member (12) supported by the body (11), said terminal member (12) having a first portion (15) for connection to the electrical circuit (14) in respect of which the terminal member (12) is to constitute a terminal. The terminal member (12) includes a second portion (16) which is accessble at one face of the body (11) for engagement in use by a mating electrical terminal (19) of a mating external connector (21). The terminal member (12) further includes an integral test portion (22) which is exposed by way of an aperture (25) in the body for engagement by a conductive test probe (33) of a mating test probe assembly (28). The body (11), adjacent the aperture (25), is shaped positively to latch with the mating test probe assembly (28) so as to hold the conductive probe (33) of the test probe assembly in contact with the integral test portion (22) of said terminal member (12).
