ABSTRACT:
A socket connector having a plurality of socket contacts engagable with pin contacts is disclosed. The socket connector is specifically adapted for mating with an array of pins positioned in a prescribed relationship on the exterior of an electrical component such as a fan motor. Individual sockets are contained within passages extending between the mating end and the rearward end of the housing and at least one of the passages has a constricted pin entry portion adjacent the mating end to align a pin to avoid pin-socket stubbing during mating. A laterally extending opening defined by a side entry mold is used to define this constricted portion and to define an opposed contact retention surface.
