Probe pin assembly, a method of making the same and a connector using the same

摘要

Disclosed are an improved probe pin assembly and a method of making the same. Each probe pin uses a sleeve which is formed by stamping and deep-drawing a thin sheet of metal with dies. The sleeve has a contact pin slidably fitted therein, a resilient member contained therein to spring-bias the contact pin with its tip end appearing from the sleeve and a cover plate fastened to and closing the rear opening of the sleeve.
