DEFINITION

Classification: 439/830

For receiving end contact of elongated fuselike component inserted transverse to longitudinal axis of component (e.g.., fuse clip):

(under subclass 816) Electrical connector comprising a resilient clip having opposed clamping jaws, at least one of which is urged toward the other for receiving therebetween and resiliently gripping one of the end contacts of a narrow, tube-shaped electrical component of the type having a contact located at each of the spaced-apart ends thereof; the component being intended to be placed into electrical and mechanical engagement with the resilient clip by pushing the component toward the clip along a line perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the component until one of the said end contacts is received within and resiliently gripped by the jaws of the resilient clip.

(1) Note. Usually, the electrical component adapted to have one of its end contacts gripped by the connector provided herein is known in the art as a "cartridge-type fuse."

249+, especially subclass 250 for a receptacle having two directly opposed contact arms for receiving a connector therebetween, one of the contact arms being self-aligning.
