Abstract (en)

An electrical contact assembly (10) comprises a wire barrel (12) onto which an electrical conductor (18) is connected along with a receptacle contact member (14) covered by a hood member (16). A C-shaped section (30) of the receptacle contact member (14) is frictionally secured in a bore (28) of the wire barrel (12) with the hood member (16) surrounding the receptacle contact member (14) and being crimped onto the wire barrel (12). The hood (16) has a beveled lead-in entrance (38) to facilitate insertion of a pin contact member (40) into electrical connection with the receptacle contact member (14) at a substantially low insertion force.
