ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly has a plug (1) and socket (2) which are engageable along axis (3) for a plug body (34) to be received within a socket body (4) as a tubular core (5) of the socket receives a core (35) of the plug. Spring terminals (13) are located within an annular cavity (7) and blade terminals (31) are located within an annular cavity (36) of the respective socket and plug bodies. Terminals (13) have cantilevered contact faces (18) inclined relative to the axis (3) and the terminals (31) have contact edges (52) which slide over the contact faces (18) to provide electrical contact and a cleaning/wiping action therebetween. Contact faces (18) are displaced inwardly against their resilient biasing by engagement with the contact edges (52) while the terminals (31) are restrained from outward displacement by seatings (42) in the wall (34).
The spring terminals (13) and blade terminals (31) are fitted axially to their respective bodies through slots 11 and (38) respectively. The terminals (13) and (31) terminate axially short of leading ends (8) and (37) and the annular cavities (7) and (36) may ensure that the terminals are inaccessible to a standard test finger. A bayonet lock ring (32) may be provided between the plug and socket.
