ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector pin contact formed of a single blank of sheet metal including a pin section formed of a contoured strip-like portion extending outwardly from a main body part which includes a wire terminal portion to a rounded nose portion where it is folded back on itself to define two laterally spaced, medially bulged and oppositely longitudinally channeled arms, a free return end of the folded-back arm being engageable with but movable in relation to a part of the main body part to increase resistance of the bulged portions of the arms to movement toward each other when inserted in a mating socket contact. In one form the contact, which may be of either the pin or socket type, is insertable in and removable from its holder by pushing it into or out of holding engagement with a friction retaining portion.
