ABSTRACT:
An improved electrical socket for providing superior electrical and mechanical contact to a mating electrical pin. The socket includes an elongated metallic box which receives the pin contact. An elliptical spring is secured in the box by ear pairs projecting from the opposing ends of the elliptical spring. A pair of cantilevered beams, integral with the top of the box, are bent slightly downward and have their free ends in contact with the ends of the elliptical spring. The cantilevered beams thus form a pair of single leaf springs. The elliptical spring and the cantilevered beams cooperate with each other to provide a suitable force on the inserted pin over a wide range of deflections of the springs.
