ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly has a first connector including at least one female electrical contact having a longitudinal axis, a terminal, and a socket body defining a socket. The socket body has an axial opening and a radial opening. A second connector has at least one male electrical contact having a mating portion with a diameter for engagement with the female contact to produce an electrical connection between the first contact and second contact. A clip is formed separately from the female contact and includes a contact arm. The clip is mounted on the female contact so that the contact arm of the clip projects into the socket through the radial opening in the socket body. The contact arm is positioned for engaging the male contact upon reception in the socket for use in making electrical connection between the female and male contacts.
