DEFINITION

Classification: 439/842

Socket adapted to receive push-pull-engaging elongated contact by insertion along longitudinal axis of contact:

(under subclass 816) Electrical connector comprising a female connector having surfaces or edges between which an elongated male contact or the end of an elongated conductor is adapted to be telescopically received and resiliently gripped, at least one of the surfaces or edges is resiliently urged or moved toward another surface or edge so that the male contact or conductor end is resiliently grasped, gripped, or clamped between the surfaces or edges; and wherein the electrical joint between the female connector and the male contact or conductor end to be secured is made either (a) by telescoping the elongated male contact or conductor end along its longitudinal axis into the female connector or (b) by telescoping the female connector along the longitudinal axis of the male contact or conductor end onto the said male contact or conductor end.
