ABSTRACT:
An improved female connector element for a pin and socket electrical connector includes at least four flexible fingers or "cantilever beams" forming a cylindrical socket for the pin of a male connector. A cylindrical sleeve surrounds the fingers and extends beyond their free ends to form an inwardly extending annular guide lip which defines the inlet opening for the pin. The lip both guides the pin properly into the socket and limits the size of the pin that may be inserted, thereby reducing potential damage to the fingers while providing a reliable, durable connector.
