Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
175 words
A connector contact assembly including first and second contact portions for electrically interconnecting first and second external circuits respectively, said first portion having a bored end portion of predetermined external and internal diameter, said second portion having a lead barrel adapted to be connected to an electrical lead and of external diameter substantially corresponding to the external diameter of said bored end portion, said second portion further including a stub shaft end portion of less diameter than the internal diameter of said bored end portion and a shoulder portion of greater diameter than said lead barrel and interposed between said lead barrel and said stub shaft, a resistor element affixed to said stub shaft and the seat of said bored end portion to establish an electrically conductive path between said first and second portions, and a dielectric material electrically isolating the sides of said bored end portion from said stub shaft, said resistors and said shoulder, said bored end portion having an opening in the sides thereof through which said dielectric material may be introduced.
