ABSTRACT:
A connector is described which uses a prior art standard housing but which uses a modified socket contact to enable reception of a long pin contact. The standard housing (7, FIG. 8) has a horizontal passage (28) with a rear end portion that has four ribs (9). The socket contact (4, FIG. 5) is a substantially cylindrical tube having a plurality of projections (13) on its outside that can pass between the housing ribs, with the socket contact then turned so the projections lie forward of the ribs to lock the socket contact in place. The projections permit the inside of the tube to be of substantially constant diameter to receive a long pin contact.
