Title: Electrical connection for the moving contacts of a relay

Abstract: An electrical connection for the moving contacts of a relay in which a connector pin in the header of the relay and the moving contacts are electrically connected by a cantilever spring contact supported on the connector pin, the cantilevered spring contacts extending substantially parallel to the contact blade of the relay. The free end of the spring has a curved projecting portion which presses lightly against the surface of the contact blade adjacent the pivotal axis of the blade, allowing the contact blade to pivot freely while maintaining electrical contact between the spring and blade.
