ABSTRACT:
A pin and socket electrical terminal consisting of a pin member having a generally cylindrical section of predetermined diameter and a socket member having a tubular section of a size to receive the pin member therein so as to establish electrical conductivity therebetween. The socket member has three radially inwardly projecting and circumferentially spaced ribs terminating at their radially inner edges at positions located substantially on an imaginary circular path having a diameter slightly less than the pin diameter so that when the pin is inserted into the socket member tubular section, the ribs firmly engage the pin member so as to establish good electrical contact between the members. The tubular section has a longitudinal seam running its full length so that it can yield in a circumferential direction to accommodate the inserted pin member. A form of the invention is also disclosed in which the ribs are on the pin member.
