An electrical connector is disclosed for electrically connecting a pair of spaced apart conductive pin members. More particularly, an electrical connector is disclosed comprising an elongated housing having opposed cover members and further including an elongated actuator member extending therebetween. A continuous, electrically conductive contact member is provided which is resilient and has a dumbbell-shaped configuration. The contact member is disposed about the actuator member in a loose fit relationship. During mounting of the connector, the actuator member effects an elongation of the contact member to reduce mounting forces. The unique configuration of the contact member enables a redundant electrical connection to be established between the pins and the contact member. In a preferred embodiment of the subject invention, the connector housing is rectangular having opposed pairs of side walls. Pin receiving apertures are provided in the side walls, with the spacing between the apertures in one pair of side walls being different than the spacing between the apertures in the other pair of side walls enabling the connector to be utilized with two different size pin grids.
