ABSTRACT:
The disclosure concerns an electrical contact for conducting high current densities in a minimum of space and with improved connection between the contact and the socket. The contact includes a split, internally tapered circular sleeve which is mounted in spring-loaded engagement in a socket. A tapered contact pin conforms to the split sleeve and when inserted causes the sleeve to be wedged between the pin and the socket. The compression spring generates large contact pressures in a relatively short length of connector travel, thus enabling the mechanical advantage of the coupling mechanism to accomplish connector engagement with minimal operator effort.
