Abstract: Electrical connector for connecting three wires to three terminal tabs and for connecting a network across two of the tabs comprises a housing having three terminal-receiving cavities extending therethrough in surrounding relationship to a network module cavity. Two of the terminals in the terminal-receiving cavities each have a main receptacle, which mates with one of the terminal tabs, and secondary receptacle which receives a terminal tab extending from the network module.

Abstract: A spring contact which is intended to be mounted on a circuit board comprises an elongated spring blade having a mounting end and an outer or free end. An integral mounting plate extends alongside the blade from the mounting end thereof to an intermediate location. A mounting pin is formed at the mounting end by two laterally extending leg portions, one on the spring blade and the other on the mounting plate, and a support pin extends from the mounting plate in spaced relationship to the mounting pin. The mounting plate has laterally extending support flanges which support the device on the printed circuit board when it is inserted into openings in the board. The spring contacts are manufactured as a continuous strip and can be inserted into circuit boards by automatic insertion machines.
