<p>A socket contact for an electrical connector is disclosed which includes a contact body (10), a tubular spring member (28) snapped onto the contact body and a protective sleeve (40) telescopically disposed over the spring member. The contact body includes an annular groove (26) and the spring member (28) includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced tabs (52). The tabs are formed over the groove through the sleeve to prevent axial movement of the spring member relative to the contact body, whereby a highly reliable electrical joint is made between the spring member and the contact body to avoid electrical discontinuities that might otherwise result.</p> |
