ABSTRACT:
Pin-and-socket signal cable connectors of the type exemplified by D-SUB series connectors can be quickly mated and unmated many thousands of times without damage to their terminals and without misalignment errors, by so forming the terminals of one or both of the connectors of a connector pair that they can move with respect to their connector body against a spring bias, and that the pins and sockets mate in abutting relationship rather than in frictional engagement. Modified connectors and adapters for standard connectors are disclosed.
