DEFINITION

Classification: 439/856

Having opposed cantilevered clamping fingers resiliently urged toward one another:

(under subclass 842) Electrical connector wherein the means exerting the resilient clamping force upon an elongated male contact or conductor end telescopically received within the female connector comprises at least two fingerlike clamping parts, each defined as having only one of its ends or edges attached to the body of the female connector; and wherein the two fingerlike parts are disposed on opposite sides of and resiliently urged toward the longitudinal axis along which the female connector telescopically receives the elongated male contact or conductor end, so that opposed lateral portions of the contact or conductor end are resiliently engaged.
