ABSTRACT:
A socket connector for connecting a post or ball wherein the female element grips the post with resilient prongs with end tips at low insertion force but positive contact is maintained and wherein attempted withdrawal is normally inhibited by increasing force applied to the post by the female element in response to the withdrawal force. The female element comprises a tube of resilient conductive material that has been sliced or helically partitioned into opposing helical prongs so as to allow the prongs of the connector to spirally open around the post or ball-like bump and mechanically grip the post or bump as the post or bump is inserted along the longitudinal axis of the tube. The tubular element may be made by forming helical prongs in the end of a tube in helical cuts from about a mid section to one end of the tube.
