Abstract (en)

A pin contact intended to form the centre pin of a co-axial cable connector comprises a generally cylindrical wall portion (1) a longitudinal portion of which is partially severed to define an internally extending spring finger (5) for engagement with an electrical cable conductor inserted within the hollow pin connector. The spring finger (5) may include a reversely angled portion (7A) defining an elbow, the arrangement being such that, in use, the elbow is held in engagement with a cable conductor by contact of the angled portion (7A) against an insulating member surrounding the external wall of the contact pin. <IMAGE>
