Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0139525A2] To reduce wear on the electrical contact-making surfaces of cooperating plug and socket connector contacts (5, 3) the contact pressure is made as light as possible, consistent with good electrical contact, and an extra member or finger (4) is provided on each socket contact (1) which bears on an area of the respective plug contact (5) not utilised for electrical connection with sufficient pressure to provide the required mechanical resistance to separation of the plug and socket connectors (7, 6). Where the plug contacts (5) are square-section pins the extra finger (4) of a socket contact may bear on a face of the respective pin which is transverse to the faces normally utilised for electrical connection.
