DEFINITION

Classification: 439/820

Spring biases slidable wedge-shaped or wedge-operated jaw:

(under subclass 819) Electrical connector wherein the spring member (a) resiliently urges a rigid clamping part having diverging opposed surfaces to move in a straight line, or (b) resiliently urges a rigid clamping part to move in a straight line along or toward an inclined surface of the connector; which rigid clamping part in turn exerts a clamping pressure on the conductor to be secured between the said clamping part and an abutting surface of the connector.
