ABSTRACT:
A one piece electrical socket terminal is provided with an elongate socket comprising a tubular base. First and second contact springs extend forwardly from opposite side walls of the base, third and fourth contact springs projecting forwardly from the top wall of the base and fourth and fifth contact springs projecting forwardly from a bottom wall of the base. The contact springs on one side of a central longitudinal plane of the socket are connected to a first U-shaped strap, the contact springs on the other side of the central plane being connected to a second U-shaped strap. The first contact springs have opposite contact surfaces which are bisected by a central transverse plane of the socket, the contact surfaces of the remaining contact springs being equidistant from the transverse plane, for engaging respective faces of a square cross section electrical pin. The contact surfaces of the first and second contact springs are spaced forwardly from those of the remaining contact springs in order to reduce the insertion force of the pin.
