Abstract
An electrical contact to be made between an electrically insulated first conductive strip and a socket member having an electrical contact element therein in which a crimpable, electrically conducting, second strip is caused to pierce the first strip at two separate points after which the passed-through ends of the second strip are folded over into a region of the first strip between the two pierced points to pierce again the insulation of the first strip to effect a second electrical connection with the first strip, and the resultant crimped joint is then inserted into the socket member until at least two electrical connecting points are established between the crimped second strip and the contact element in the socket member.
