DEFINITION

Classification: 439/858

Having cantilevered clamping finger resiliently urged toward rigid clamping jaw:

(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 a fingerlike clamping part defined by having only one of its ends or edges attached to the body of the female connector; and wherein the gripping portion of the fingerlike part is resiliently urged toward a solid nonflexible clamping part of the female connector in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis along which the female connector telescopically receives the male contact or conductor end, so that opposed lateral portions of the elongated male contact or conductor end are resiliently gripped between the clamping parts.
