Electrical contact socket which is manufactured with simplified tooling

摘要

Electrical contact socket comprises a flat face having a circular opening therein adjacent to one edge of the face. Diametric slots extend from the opening parallel to the one edge and have blind ends. Contact flanges extend from the periphery of the opening perpendicularly of the plane of the face and serve as contact surfaces when a pin is inserted into the opening. The portion or section of the face between the opening and the one edge is resiliently deflected when the pin is inserted and serves as a contact spring.
