DEFINITION

Classification: 439/397

Contact engages conductor in at least two locations spaced along conductor axis:

(under subclass 395) Electrical connector wherein the conductive body has a portion intended to make electrical contact with the strandlike conductor at a first point along the length of the conductor and has another portion intended to make the electrical contact with the stranded conductor at a different point along the length thereof.

(1) Note. The other portion of the contact may be the second margin or may be a distinct contact surface.
