<p>A contact socket (2) having ends (8, 10) and an intermediate portion for receiving a contact pin (4). The intermediate portion (14) has a plurality of resilient beams (16, 18) which are designed to provide the necessary contact force while maintaining the insertion force at a low level. The beams (16, 18) are also designed to allow for improper insertion of the pin (4) into the contact socket (2) without damaging the resilient beams (16, 18) so that no permanent set of the beams (16, 18) takes place.</p> |
