Patent ID: 7845970

Claim:
An electrical connector comprising, an insulator housing, which has plug-in openings on two oppositely-lying sides of the housing, namely, on a first side for inserting an electrical contact pin and on a second side for plugging in the insulation-stripped end of at least one electrical conductor, and a leaf spring for each electrical conductor to be connected, which extends in a conductor plugging-in direction and oblique to the electrical conductor and, with the leaf spring, firmly clamps the insulation-stripped end of the plugged-in electrical conductor, wherein the insulator housing of the connector provides a connecting space for each electrical conductor to be connected, into which the contact pin and the electrical conductor can be plugged in adjacent to one another in roughly parallel alignment, the contact pin and the electrical conductor overlapping in the respective axial lengths of the contact pin and electrical conductor, wherein the contact pin is held in fixed position in the connecting space, whereas the electrical conductor can move crosswise to a conductor axis of the electrical conductor within a range of movement, wherein a leaf-spring end of the leaf-spring is adjacent to the side of the electrical conductor that lies opposite the contact pin, so that the clamping force of the leaf spring presses the electrical conductor in the direction of the contact pin, and a conductive contact wall positioned parallel and along between the electrical conductor and the contact pin where the contact pin and electrical conductor overlap along the respective axial lengths thereof, said conductive contact wall guides the electrical conductor in the direction of the conductor axis of the electrical conductor during the plugging-in operation into the connecting space, whereby the contact wall can move in the direction of the contact pin, jointly with the electrical conductor, within a range of movement crosswise to the conductor axis of the electrical conductor, so that the electrical conductor electrically contacts the contact wall directly and the contact wall electrically contacts the contact pin directly.
