DEFINITION

Classification: 439/161

HEAT RESPONSIVE CONTACT PRESSURE CONTROL:

(under the class definition) Electrical connector including structure particularly adapted to urge the contact toward a cooperating contact at a predetermined force according to the temperature of the device.

(1) Note. In this subclass, the expansion of component parts under temperature changes is recognized and compensation is accordingly made. Usually the provision is to increase contact pressure upon increase in ambient temperature, but also may be to reduce contact pressure as temperature is elevated or to maintain substantially unchanging pressure.
