Abstract A CONNECTOR FOR MAKING CONTACT TO AN ELECTRICAL TERMINAL STRIP HAVING SPACED APART PINS ARRANGED IN ROWS. A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE CONNECTOR COMPRISES TWO RECTANGULAR PLATES OF INSULATOR MATERIAL WITH CHANNEL-SHAPED CONTACTORS OF CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL SPACED APART ALONG ONE EDGE OF EACH PLATE TO CORRESPOND TO THE SPACING OF THE PINS OF THE STRIP. A U-SHAPED BRACKET EACH OF WHOSE FLANGES HAS ONE OF THE PLATES MOUNTED THEREON MAINTAINS THE PLATES WITH THE CONTACTORS FACING OUTWARDS. A WEDGE MOUNTED BETWEEN THE CONFRONTING SURFACES OF THE PLATES IS USED TO SELECTIVELY SPREAD THE PLATES APART IN ORDER TO PUSH THE CONTACTORS AGAINST THE PINS AND ENSURE RELIABLE CONTACT.
