Abstract: A jack type adaptor for electrically connecting an electric light fixture to an electric box comprises a jack type connecting member for mechanical connection to an electric box. The jack type connecting member comprises a first U-shaped bracket device and a pair of jack type connecting devices affixed to the bracket device in spaced parallel relation and electrically connected to electrically conductive leads in the electric box. A plug type connecting member for mechanical connection to a light fixture comprises a second U-shaped device and a pair of plug type connecting devices affixed to the second device in spaced parallel relation and electrically connected to the electrically conductive leads of the light fixture.

Abstract: A circuit panel connector for enabling the connection of a plurality of circuit terminals at the edge of a circuit panel, such as a printed circuit board, with external conductors includes an elongate socket and self-aligning bifurcated electrical contacts juxtaposed with the socket along the length thereof, each having a pair of opposed cantilever tines integral with a common base and carrying contact lobes at the free ends thereof such that both tines are free to flex resiliently relative to one another for the reception of the circuit panel edge between the tines, while the contacts are free to move laterally, relative to the socket, for alignment of the contacts with the circuit panel edge in response to insertion of the circuit panel edge within the socket, and a strap integral with the base of each contact and extending laterally into a tubular connector element having means for releasably clamping an external conductor against the strap within the tubular connector element.
