Abstract: A compliant electrical connector has a pin with opposed convex surfaces to grip the boundary of a hole, the pin having at least one groove sunk in the side thereof so that the pin forms a flexure that flexes to reduce the cross sectional area of the groove as the pin is inserted into the hole.

Abstract: An electrical bus strip to receive a terminal post comprises(a) an elongated metallic bus strip;(b) a contact integral with and spaced from said strip, said contact protruding toward a plane defined by said strip, and(c) two pairs of arms having first ends integral with said strip and second ends integral with said contact to support the contact for resiliently yieldable movement normal to said planes in response to insertion of a terminal post into position between the arms of each pair and between the contact and said strip.Typically the bus strip defines an H-shaped opening generally in registration with said contact and arms which were stamped from said strip.

Abstract: A clip operable to connect an electrical terminal post with a bus strip comprises:A. a channel section having opposed arms between which the bus strip is receivable,B. and a generally hook shaped section integral with one of said arms, said hook shaped section containing an opening to pass said terminal post extending generally parallel to said one arm,C. there being means on the channel section to retain the bus strip in a zone formed by the channel section.

Abstract: A compliant electrical connector .[.has a pin with edges to grip the boundary of a hole, the pin having at least one groove sunk in the side thereof so that the pin forms a flexure that flexes to reduce the cross sectional area of the groove as the pin is inserted into the hole..]. .Iadd.pin has an elongated body with laterally oppositely facing walls for engaging electrical structure forming a hole into which the pin is pressed, the pin having compliant body extent between such walls and including a flexure in yieldable flexed condition, the flexure including a spring for developing outwardly opposing forces for forcing the laterally oppositely facing walls into contact with the structure forming the hole. An electrical connection is thereby provided from the pin and the structure forming the hole. .Iaddend.
