Abstract
The female electrical connector (4) is intended to mate with a corresponding male electrical connector (2) fixed to a printed circuit board (1), and comprises a moulded body having a plurality of sockets (6) for receiving female spring blade contacts (7) each having a connection tail (8) for crimping to electrical conductors. The adapter (5) comprises a moulded body which fits on and is fixed to said female connector, and which houses a plurality of screw terminals (12). Each screw terminal is connected via a corresponding tongue (9, 10 or 11) to the contact tail of a corresponding one of the female spring blade contacts. The tongues are soldered to the connection tails. The screw contacts are capable of receiving at least two electrical conductors (17) of total cross section not less than 1.5 mm.sup.2.
