Abstract

A crimped electrical connection between a stamped and formed metallic connecting device and a conductor on an insulating film comprises a pair of opposed cantilever beams connected by an arcuate bight with the film being between the beams. The beams are in a flexed condition against the film and are therefore maintained against, and in electrical contact with, the conductor on the film. The crimped connection can be used under a wide variety of circumstances.
