Abstract:
An electric patch plug socket contact pair arrangement, comprising:socket body with a contact support;a first contact pair, each first contact pair contact having a terminal area, each first contact pair contact having a contact area, each first contact pair contact being fixed to said contact support and defining a fixedly mounted contact partial area adjacent to said terminal area with each first contact pair contact having a portion mounted in a fixed manner in said fixedly mounted contact partial area and each first contact pair contact having an elastically mounted partial area with the contact being mounted elastically for movement in the socket body;a second contact pair, each second contact pair contact having a second contact pair terminal area, each second contact pair contact having a second contact pair contact area, each second contact pair contact being fixed to said contact support and defining a fixedly mounted second contact pair contact partial area adjacent to said second contact pair terminal area with each second contact pair contact having a portion mounted in a fixed manner defining a fixedly mounted contact partial area and each second contact pair contact having a second contact pair elastically mounted partial area with the second contact pair contact mounted elastically for movement in the socket body, said second contact pair being disposed between respective contacts of said first contact pair, said contacts of said second contact pair crossing each other to define a crossing point and to position one of said contacts of said second contact pair closer to one of said contacts of said first contact pair at one side of said crossing point and closer to the other of said contacts of said first contact pair at another side of said crossing point and to position the other of said contacts of said second contact pair closer to said other of said contacts of said first contact pair at said one side of said crossing point and closer to said one of said contacts of said first contact pair at said another side of said crossing point, said crossing point being located at the elastically mounted partial area of said contacts of said contacts of said second contact pair.
