Abstract:
A contact block for electrical connection comprising:a metal contact comprising;a major section in a first planar region;an upper contact that terminates at said major section;a lower contact that terminates at said major section opposite said upper contact;two occurrences of a first folded section that terminate at said major section and that are respectively in coplanar regions orthogonal to said first planar region, said two occurrences of a first folded section being opposite each other across said major section;two occurrences of a second folded section that respectively terminate at said two occurrences of a first folded section that are substantially coplanar and that are in a third planar region that is substantially orthogonal both to said first planar region and said second planar region; anda dielectric body comprising;a shell; anda cavity,wherein said metal contact major section is disposed in said cavity, wherein said upper contact extends through said shell, wherein said lower contact extends through said shell, wherein said two occurrences of a first folded section are contained within said cavity, and wherein said two occurrences of a second folded section extend respectively through opposite lateral walls of said shell.
