(under subclass 166) Electrical connector including a contact* or a portion of a contact adapted to be moved to a different location with respect to the device to allow the device to interfit with a different, particularly configured, sized or positioned cooperating connector; wherein the contact or the portion of a contact is adapted to be returned to the original position.
(1) Note. The purpose of repositioning the contact of this subclass may be to adapt the device for use with mating parts of different configurations without use of an intermediate "adapter".
(2) Note. Included herein is a connector having a repositionable contact for interfitting with variously configured mating parts of particular, assigned configurations, e.g.., assigned for particular voltage or ampere rating.
