ABSTRACT:
A male contact and insulator mounting therefor including a conductive stamping having first and second split cylinders formed about the same axis at its opposite ends, the stamping having an oppositely disposed pair of strips connecting the cylinders, both strips being bowed outwardly from each other. The formed conductor is snapped into a rectangular hole extending all the way through an insulator body. The body has shoulders on the narrowest sides against which the external surfaces of the bowed portions of the strips bear respectively on corresponding ones of the shoulders. The outside diameter of the first cylinder, which acts as the male contact or pin, is slightly less than the hole width. The strip width is also slightly smaller than the hole width. The outside diameter of the second cylinder is larger than the hole width and bears against the insulator to act as a stop. The conductor can be released from the insulator by backing it out. This can be done by pressing the strips together with a tool.
