  • Connector for reed switches
    Patent number: 4118098
    Abstract: An improved electrical connector for reed switches and other similarly configured switches, in which the electrical leads projecting from the ends of the switch are clamped to a connector base by screw-driven terminal clamping plates, thereby establishing electrical contact with the switch. Washers placed between the leads and the connector base improve the reliability of the contact by reducing the amount of deformation of the base material caused by the stress of clamping.
