In a socket member (20) for electrical connectors, the mutually inclined tines (22, 23) are separated by slots (24) which, from the tine root region (24) toward the socket aperture, are limited by parallel edges of the tines (22, 23) over a first partial length, and by divergent edges of the tines (22, 23) over the remaining length. In the method of manufacturing the socket member (20), the mutual inclination of the tines (22, 23) is produced by forming a tube to have a conical taper over a length at least equal to the length (D) of the tines, and then slotting the tube. The starting material is a tube an end portion of which is formed into the conical shape by drawing prior to the slotting operation. Thus, at the roots (19) of the tines at rest, the socket body is not subjected to any stress (tensile deformation on the outside, compressive deformation on the inside), which otherwise would be caused by the subsequent bending operation. |
