ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector wherein a female terminal has a deformable sleeve for receiving a male terminal in a manner such that the male terminal may be inserted almost fully into the interior of the sleeve before it contacts the sleeve and begins to meet any resistance to further insertion. Further urging of the male terminal into the sleeve causes the sleeve to deform both longitudinally and radially inward and apply pressure to the male terminal, thus producing sufficient normal force between the electrical contact surfaces of the sleeve and the male terminal to ensure good current flow therebetween. It is only over the last, relatively short distance of pin travel to the fully inserted position that any substantial resistance to insertion is encountered.
