  • Contact mount strip and process for severing a contact held on said strip
    Patent number: 6537112
    Abstract: A strip (1) is described which includes a first device (5, 15) for temporarily holding a contact (2), and having a second device (26) for retaining the contact inside a tube. Provided with a clip (39) in such a manner that the contact is ready to be inserted in a receptacle of a connector. The strip allows the displacement of several grouped contacts, in a parallel arrangement on the strip. The strip is preferably displaced in coiled form, therefore having protection devices (41) to prevent the contacts from crushing over each other. Precut bridges (44) allow an easy separation of contacts surrounded by their respective clip from the strip.
