DEFINITION

Classification: 439/877

METALLIC CONNECTOR OR CONTACT ALSO HAVING SECURING PART ADAPTED TO BE CRIMPED, DEFORMED, OR BENT ONTO CONDUCTOR:

(under the class definition) Electrical connector or contact consisting solely of metallic material and having a malleable part (i.e., a plastically deformable part) 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 permanently bending, crimping, or deforming the malleable part of the connector or contact onto a portion of the electrical conductor.

(1) Note. Included herein, for example, are connectors in which novelty resides in the joint between a so-called "solderless lug" and its associated conductor.

84, for a contact secured by deformation to a panel circuit of a preformed panel circuit arrangement.

430, for a connector having a cutter-type contact which axially penetrates an elongated conductor and which is also permanently secured to a conductor by, for example, crimping.

442, for a connector having a cutter-type contact which is crimped to make an electrical connection.

585, for a connector including or for use with a coaxial cable which has a crimpable metallic conductor grip.

730, for a terminal connector having an insulating tube or sleeve adapted to be crimped onto a wire-type conductor.

865+, for a metallic conductor terminal having conductor sheath engaging means which often is of the type adapted to be crimped onto both the insulating sheath portion and the conductive portion of a wire-type conductor.
