ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector pin for insertion into a socket of circular section is machined from a single piece of metal. The forward part of the pin has a constant cross-section along the major part of its length, being circular with two parallel flats which extend along its length. A slot extends across the forward part of the pin between opposite flats, dividing the pin into two prongs. The diameter of the socket is less than the diameter of the pin across its circular part but more than the width of the pin between the flats. In use, as the pin is inserted in the socket, it contacts the open end of the socket at four points between the flat and circular regions of the pin, gradually closing the slot at the tip until it is just open when inserted to its full extent.
