ABSTRACT:
A contact assembly for electrically connecting two electrical conductors wherein a plug member is secured to one conductor, and a hollow socket member is secured to the other conductor, with the plug being received by the socket member. The socket member has an annular recess therein, and a plurality of contact fingers are disposed within the recess. A holder is also disposed within the recess, and the holder has an axial projection extending therefrom adjacent the contact fingers radially outwardly therefrom. The holder projection and the holder are spaced apart from the socket member to form an annular space therebetween. Resilient biasing means are disposed between the contact fingers and the holder and acts upon the contact fingers, and loading means are utilized to produce a force upon the contact fingers. The force has a component in the radial direction and a larger component in the axial direction, producing respectively contact pressure between the fingers and the plug member and the fingers and the socket member.
