ABSTRACT:
A compact electrical terminal socket for use with electrical devices, such as control relays with pin contact members thereon, comprises two separable interconnected socket body sections, to wit, a top-half section mounted onto a recessed floor of a bottom-half section. The top-half section is provided with a first and second plurality of recessed terminal-receiving cavities having therein corresponding first and second pluralities of terminal contact members. The first and second plurality of recessed terminal-receiving cavities are juxtaposed relative to each other to form a symmetrical array of rows within the top-half section in a manner effective to electrically isolate and insulate the cavities from one another, and thus, to electrically isolate and insulate each terminal contact member disposed therein. The first plurality of terminal-receiving cavities are oriented within the top-half section to enable receipt of the first terminal contact members therein at a first side of the top-half section whereas the second plurality of terminal-receiving cavities are oriented within the top-half section to enable receipt of the second terminal contact members therein at a second side of the top-half section positioned between the two interconnected sections. Each first and second terminal contact member is provided with a hook-like configured pin or blade contact-receiving portion which enables it to make positive electrical connections with misaligned pin contact members of the relay when inserted therein.
