DEFINITION

Classification: 439/874

METALLIC CONNECTOR OR CONTACT HAVING PART PERMANENTLY SECURED TO CONDUCTOR USING FUSED OR MOLDED MATERIAL:

(under the class definition) Electrical connector or contact consisting solely of metallic material and having means to which an electrical conductor is intended to be permanently attached or fastened in conductive relationship therewith, whereby a permanent conductive joint may be formed therebetween; the conductive joint being formed by an operation involving fluid or molten bonding material, by applying heat to the metallic material of one or both parts until it is softened or molten and then pressing, shaping, or pouring it onto or into the metallic material of the other part, or by applying glue or other adhesive cementlike material between the two metallic parts.

(1) Note. This class does not provide for a molded or soldered joint between two conductors. Such subject matter is not considered to be a connector for this class (439) but is provided for in Class 174. See the class definition of this class (439) for the line between Classes 174 and 439.
