Abstract: An electrical socket comprising an elongated, hollow socket body constructed of electrically conductive material and defining a plug receiving bore opening at one end thereof. The socket body includes means presenting a series of slits in the body that together define a longitudinally extending contact finger which has a free end disposed in proximal relationship to one end of the plug receiving bore. An elongated, annular spring cage is disposed in surrounding relationship to at least the portion of the socket body which includes the contact finger and includes means for biasing the contact finger toward and into the plug receiving bore. The biasing means includes means defining a series of intercommunicated slits in the spring cage that together present a collar surrounding the end of the socket body in proximate relationship with the contact finger and a longitudinally extending tongue having a free end disposed adjacent the collar and in contacting relationship to the free end of the contact finger.
