Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0127538A2] A socket type contact (20) that eliminates the need for a hood to locate the contact concentrically within the passage (11) of a connector insert (10). One half of the deflectable fingers (22, 24, 26 and 28) of the mating portion of the socket contact (20) extend radially outward further than the remaining fingers (21, 23, 25, 27) to engage the wall of a passage (11) in the insert (10), thereby concentrically locating the socket contact within the insert (10). The remaining fingers (21, 23, 25 and 27) are the mating fingers and are adapted to engagea pin type contact upon mating.
