DEFINITION

Classification: 439/828

Having resilient clamping finger crossing plane of opposed clamping member while in clamping condition:

(under subclass 816) Electrical connector wherein the resilient portion exerting the clamping force is attached to the body of the connector along one end only (i.e., cantilevered); and wherein the said cantilevered portion, in its distorted clamping position, passes through the plane of the clamping portion that opposes it at a point between the attached end and free end of the cantilevered portion.

(1) Note. In this subclass may be found, for example, connectors known in the art as "Fahnestock" clips.
