There is disclosed a pin connector particularly suited for use in automotive ignition wiring. The pin connector comprises a metal shaft for insertion into the standard wire receiving sleeves of distributors, coils and the like and, for this purpose has a metal shaft with a diameter less than that of the sleeve to be received loosely therein with a groove intermediate its length to oppose the annular slot of the receiving sleeve and a resilient retainer seated in this groove and resiliently projecting into the slot to retain the pin connector in the sleeve. The pin connector has a prong connector end having a bulbous end with a reduced diameter neck to receive a box connector that has a mating socket with a detent to be received over the prong connector and to complete the connection to an ignition wire. The pin connector is sized of lesser diameter than the internal diameter of the receiving sleeve to provide a tolerance therebetween, accommodating manufacturing imprecisions. The pin connector is used in combination with an elastic boot carried on the conductor which is slipped over the pin connector and the supporting structure of the housing or the receiving sleeve so that the pin connector is resiliently biased in the assembly, in secure electrical contact with the receiving sleeve.
