DEFINITION

Classification: 439/78

Distinct contact secured to panel circuit:

(under subclass 55) Electrical connector including a contact* that is distinguishable from the circuitry of the panel and is united to the panel either permanently or detachably.

(1) Note. The contact of this subclass while distinct is considered to be a part of the panel.

(2) Note. Included herein is a panel circuit arrangement having a contact soldered to the circuitry of the panel as a separate member, but a dab of solder added to such a panel is considered to be a coating and not a distinguishable element.

(3) Note. Included herein is a panel circuit arrangement having a contact that is not distinguishable from the circuitry combined with a detachable member for interfitting with that contact and presenting another contact surface.
