An electrical connector comprises a plug body (1) adapted to be received in a socket (2), and at least one plug contact (4) which is mounted on the plug body to make electrical contact with a socket contact (16) within the socket. The plug contact (4) comprises a resilient member with a pair of contact arms (8) that extend from opposite sides of the plug body to be received between, and be displaced and resiliently loaded by contact with a pair of contact faces (32) of a socket contact (16) when inserted into the socket. The contact arms (8) are formed integrally from a resilient member which has a central portion (7) received in an aperture in the plug body with an arm extending from it either side. The socket contacts (16) are also formed as an integral component with a U shaped recess to receive an edge of the plug body and the plug contact. Multiple plug contacts (4) may be arranged in one or more longitudinally extending rows along the plug body. The socket contacts (16) have terminal connections (33) visible externally of the socket and arranged in rows on opposite sides of the socket. The plug body may comprise a printed circuit board (PCB) incorporating connections between the plug contacts (4) and a connector interface at the handle end (3) of the plug body. |
