ABSTRACT:
A single-pole electrical connector adapted for carrying high electrical current comprises a conductive receptacle member adapted to be coupled to an electrical cable; a conductive plug member adapted to be coupled to an electrical cable; said receptacle member incorporating a pin contact portion; said pin contact portion comprising a rod-like member; said plug member incorporating a socket contact portion; said receptacle member and said plug member being adapted for sliding mechanical engagement along a common longitudinal axis; said rod-like member having an external diameter slightly larger than the diameter of said socket contact portion being provided with at least one pair of resilient finger members formed by fabricating at least one diametrically extending slot thereacross; each of said finger members extends radially outwardly with respect to the longitudinal axis of said pin contact portion as a result of the formation of said slot, whereby the external diameter of a pair of opposite finger members is greater relative to said external diameter of said rod-like member before the formation of said slots; said finger members being further adapted to be compressed in a radial direction and to engage a corresponding surface of said socket contact member when said receptacle member and said plug member are engaged.
