ABSTRACT:
A pin and socket connector assembly includes a stamped and formed pin terminal 2 and a stamped and formed socket terminal 4 received respectively in cavities of a cap housing 6 and a matable plug housing 8. Both the pin and socket terminals have rigid retention ribs 20, 40 located on stabilization sections 12 and 32 which cause the cylindrical stabilization sections to accurately inwardly deform as the terminals are inserted into the housing with the retention ribs engaging internal housing shoulders to lock the terminals in place. The socket terminal 2 has a socket terminal of generally triangular configuration with a seam formed by the terminal edges locate on one side and a slot 50 stamped at the apex of the other sides of the terminal extending partially into the socket section. Rigid embossed dimples 54 are located on the interior of the socket section to form fixed contact points for engaging a mating pin terminal.
