ABSTRACT:
A socket contact (50) for electrical connectors and method of manufacture is disclosed comprised of a separate solid socket body (10) formed with a terminal portion (14), and a projection (16) receiving a tubular spring member (28). The projection (16) has a forward larger diameter section (20) with an intermediate groove (22), and a reduced diameter section (26). The spring member (28) has a circumferential crimp (38) seated in the intermediate groove (22) at assembly. Both the spring member (28) and an outer guide sleeve (40) have their rear ends (30, 46) crimped into the reduced diameter section (26) to establish a mechanical assembly thereto. The circumferential crimp (38) seated in the groove (22) enhances the electrical connection between the spring member (28) in the socket body (10) as well as aiding in assembly.
