ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector pin device includes an elongated body and a wire spring insert. The body has an external surface and defines an axial bore and a radial slot therein. The radial slot extends radially outwardly from the axial bore to the external surface, opening at the external surface. The wire spring insert is disposed within the axial bore and radial slot of the body. The wire spring insert is movable between non-compressed and compressed conditions. In the non-compressed condition, a portion of the wire spring insert extends above the external surface of the body, while in the compressed condition, the wire spring insert is deformed by an annular wall of a sleeve of an external electrical receptacle and pushed below the external surface of the body and thereby generates a spring force creating contact pressure diametrically opposed to the annular wall of the sleeve of the receptacle so as to releasably retain the body within the sleeve of the receptacle.
