ABSTRACT:
A miniature electrical connector is shown having an insulated housing with a bore passing therethrough including a large passageway and a reduced passageway joined by an inwardly tapering surface. A contact is received by the passageway having three uniformly spaced, triangular based protrusions whose sides form a sharp tapered edge which tapers at a greater angle than the inwardly tapered surface of the passage for engaging that surface as the contact is inserted therein. The contact is provided with leaf spring latches which snap outwardly once beyond the reduced portion of the passageway to prevent the unauthorized removal of the contact therefrom. The uniformly spaced protrusions having sharp edges tapering at a greater angle than the inwardly tapering surface of the passage cause the contact to be self-centering while stably retaining the contact within the passageway.
