ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an electrical connector of low-insertion force type comprising a male plug having at least one pin terminal, and a female socket having at least one contact. Each pin terminal has straight slant opposite surfaces extending downwards from the opposite ends of its flat nose at a same angle. The flat nose is positioned with its center somewhat beyond the center axis of the pin terminal, thereby placing the opposite slant surfaces asymmetrical with respect to the center axis of the pin terminal. Thus, the insertion force of the pin terminal reaches its peak value on one side of the pin terminal earlier than the insertion force of the pin terminal on the other side. This permits substantial reduction of the resultant insertion force. To an advantage, the straight inclination can be easily shaped with precision. This permits mass production of pin terminals of same insertion force characteristics.
