  • Low insertion force electrical connector
    Patent number: 4090772
    Abstract: A low insertion force electrical connector in which each pin contact in the connector has a cylindrical body with a gradually tapered forward end terminating in a rounded nose. Each socket contact of the connector comprises a cylindrical body with two spring beams which taper forwardly and inwardly. The inner forward edges of the beams have an arcuate configuration. Specific parameters of the relative dimensions of the contacts and of the configuration of the tapered forward end portion of the pin contact are disclosed which allow the mating pin and socket contacts to mate with forces substantially less than that of standard pin and socket contacts.
